Tough night for LH hoops with both the boys and girls teams beaten by Skyline.
In the boys’ District 9-5A opener, Skyline beat Lake Highlands, 72-60, in front of a big crowd at the LH gym.
Skyline broke out to a double-digit lead and was never really challenged. LH drew within 34-28 at the half, but it wasn’t long before Skyline had a commanding lead.
Demarcus Bernard led LH with 16 points followed by Trey Bingham with 9, Aaron Mazibuko with 8 and James Preston with 7.
The LH girls also lost to Skyline, 69-47, at Forester Fieldhouse for their first loss in three district contests. Hannah Wedding led LH with 9 followed by Tierra Scott and Bridget O’Brien with 8 each.
Both teams hit the floor again early next week for 9-5A games with Sunset. The boys will play at Ellis Davis Field House in Oak Cliff with an 8 p.m. varsity tip. The girls play at home Tuesday with the varsity game at 7:30.
