Pleasantville split a boys-girls basketball doubleheader Tuesday night as the girls won, 31-24, but the boys lost a heartbreaker in overtime, 73-72.

 

The Trojans’ girls got their third consecutive win and are above .500 for the first time since they were 1-0 after their season-opening win over Twin Cedars November 20th. Despite a bad shooting night, Pleasantville’s press defense coupled with ten points from Rachel Harvey was enough to get the win. The Trojans swept the Roadrunners for the first time since 2017-18.

 

Pleasantville’s girls will be back in action Thursday night for non-conference action at Southeast Warren. The game will begin at 7:30 PM.

 

The Trojans’ boys close losses continue as they lose by one possession for the second time this season against the Roadrunners. Mason Scheve led the way as he recorded his second 30-point game of the season, dropping 30. Caylor Clark was second in scoring with 17 points. The loss drops Pleasantville to 5-11 on the season.

 

The Trojans’ boys will be back in action Friday as part of a girls-boys West Central Conference home doubleheader against Ogden. The boys’ game is scheduled to tip off at 7:30 PM on the KRLS3 stream with Alex Koch on the call.
