It was a tough night for the Patriot freshman basketball teams.
Jay County's freshman boys basketball team lost a heart-breaker in their season opener Monday, falling 34-33 to the Delta Eagles. The girls team fell behind 16-2 after the opening period and couldn't dig all the way out of the hole in a 32-26 loss to the Pendleton Heights Arabians.
The Patriot boys had a 25-19 lead heading into the final period, and were still up by three in the closing minute. But Delta's Kyle Smedley made a 3-pointer while being fouled in the process, then hit the ensuing free throw to give his Eagles a four-point play and the win.

Brad Horn posted 15 points to pace Jay County. Jacob Chenoweth had seven points, and Josh Beaty and John Pettus each added four.
