Adam Dyer made a season-high 18 points on Tuesday (Jan. 31), but the Mahomet-Seymour boys’ basketball team lost a 65-49 decision at Normal Community.
The teams were tied, 11-11, after one quarter, but Normal had created a 31-24 lead by halftime.
Dyer, who played all but 23 seconds, hit 7-of-14 shots from the field and connected on two three-point shots.
M-S was 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Dyer and Dayten Eisenmann were each 2-for-2. Teammate Wyatt Bohm was 4-for-4.
Normal held a 63-46 edge on shots attempted, much of that due to collecting 17 offensive rebounds. The Ironmen outrebounded M-S, 34-20.
Finn Randolph scored eight points for the Bulldogs. Bohm, Trey Peters and Jake Waldinger each tallied six points. Eisenmann ended with five points.
Bohm led the Bulldogs with six rebounds and four assists.
M-S (8-14) returns to action on Thursday (Feb. 2) at Charleston.
