The Adrian boys’ basketball team received its first defeat since Dec. 7 when they lost a 66-45 game in Fulda Friday.
Cold shooting from the floor (23 percent) plagued the Dragons in game in which they were outscored every quarter.
"We couldn’t hit anything," said Dragon coach Rozell, referring to Adrian’s shooting woes. "Fulda played a good game, and we were flat. We couldn’t get anything going, and we couldn’t stop them."
The Raiders raced to an 11-point lead (18-7) in the first quarter before settling for a 12-point (34-22) halftime advantage. Fulda outscored the Dragons 19-11 in the third quarter to open a 53-33 lead before winning by 21 in the end.
Pete Hohn led Adrian, which had a nine-game winning streak snapped, with 12 points and eight rebounds in the contest.
