Coyotes struggle from field in 38-33 loss

The Paris boys did several good things on Friday morning.

The problem was the Coyotes shot 23.3 percent from the field to lose 38-33 to La Plata in the Moberly Area Community College Shootout. Paris picked up 15 points off 19 La Plata turnovers and put back nine second-chance points thanks to 15 offensive rebounds to contribute to a 23-22 halftime lead.

La Plata (4-6) shot 43 percent from the field and had three with at least seven points. 

On the other hand, Paris (2-8) was lifted by Colton Kendrick’s 21 points, 13 rebounds and two steals. The next highest scorers for the Coyotes — Andre Miller and Cayden Poddany — each had four points. Poddany finished with nine rebounds, including seven on the offensive glass.

Paris opened its Salisbury Invitational Tournament today against Cairo (4-6) before playing at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the event of a loss or Thursday in the event of a victory.
