There’s never a good time for a bad shooting day, but with the way the Fox Chapel boys played defense and rebounded against a bigger Pine-Richland team Saturday, it could not have come at a worse time for the Foxes.
Fox Chapel’s defensive intensity forced a tie going into the fourth quarter, but the Foxes could not remedy their cold shooting.
The No. 3-seeded Foxes made only two field goals in the fourth quarter and lost to No. 6 Pine-Richland, 48-39, in a WPIAL Class 6A quarterfinal.
The Foxes only made 15 field goals, two of which were 3-pointers. They were 7 for 10 from the free-throw line.
