On a chilly Saturday evening in Meyer Gymnasium, the Scottsburg Warriors varsity boys basketball team fought hard but ultimately fell to the Southwestern (Hanover) Rebels, 69–54 in a non-conference matchup that tested every bit of their grit and resolve. The Rebels jumped out early, scoring 16 points in the first quarter to the Warriors’ 10, and never relinquished control. Southwestern’s balanced attack — led by Braxton Lewis with 25 points and Brady Cook adding 16 more — helped them build and sustain a lead through all four quarters.

Final quarter scoring showed Southwestern stretching their advantage, outscoring Scottsburg 21–17 in the fourth to close out the 69–54 victory. Despite the result, the Warriors showed heart and effort until the final horn. Statistical Highlights Scottsburg Warriors (54): Shot 20-of-53 overall (37.7%) with 8 made threes (24.2%).
