The Algoma and Luxemburg-Casco boys' basketball teams learned the hard way on Thursday the detriment one bad half can have on a program.
In Luxemburg, the Spartans saw a tie ball game at the break flip its script in Freedom's favor in a 65-48 loss in NEC play.
In Elkhart Lake, the Wolves found themselves in an early hole they could dig out of in a 65-41 loss to Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah.
