The Taylor Ducks boys varsity basketball team dropped a 46-29 decision to the Gateway Preparatory Gators on Friday, Jan. 30, extending its losing streak to seven games. With the loss, Taylor fell to 13-14 overall and 1-7 in district play.
Despite the continued struggles in district competition, head coach Stephen Gibson emphasized that the Ducks’ youth and lack of varsity experience have played a significant role in the team’s growing pains this season.
“We are relatively young, and we have a lot of guys out there who are still trying to figure things out, so it’s more like we’re teaching,” Gibson said. “We don’t have many players with varsity experience, and it’s a completely different game when you’re coming up from JV or middle school.”
