In a second game on Saturday, the Owls fell to the Plymouth Panthers 65-51. The team kept the game close into the second half before falling behind, unable to overcome the deficit. Tyler Ritger tallied 14 points for the Owls. Boys basketball improved their conference record to 2-1 with the win over Hartford, and currently has an overall record of 4-2.

Their next game before the holiday break will be on Tuesday at 7:15 pm when the Owls take on the West Bend East Suns in West Bend.
