Schroer hits 1,000, but BC falls to Madison
Brownstown Central’s five-game winning streak came to an end Tuesday night as visiting Madison used a 20-2 effort in the first quarter to win 49-40.
But the Braves didn’t go down without a fight, as they exerted plenty of effort to make the game interesting and pulled within six points at the end of the third. However, the effort fell short, and the comeback was not to be.
In spite of the loss, Brave senior Ashley Schroer netted her 1,000th point, becoming the sixth Brave player in program history to reach the mark. Needing just 10 points to get there, Schroer earned the feat and will have a chance to build on it Saturday against MSC rival Charlestown.
