Indians win again

The Brentwood Indians put themselves in the driver's seat for the League I title with a 69-59 home victory against Longwood Tuesday night. It was the second league loss for the Lions, who have little room for error now if they hope to win a league crown.

The Lions limited J.J. Moore to 13 points, but Alex Usera stepped up with 23.

Brentwood held a three-point advantage going into the final quarter before pulling away with a 23-16 advantage. The Lions' two league losses have been the only time this season they've been outscored in the fourth quarter. In both losses the Lions have gotten off to slow starts. They trailed Brentwood 19-11 after one quarter.

Brentwood remains undefeated in League I at 5-0. The Lions are 3-2 and travel to Sachem East next Tuesday. The Lions have lost three of four overall since an 8-0 start. Next Tuesday's game will be the last of the first round of games against League I teams. The Lions then travel to Pat-Med Jan. 24 to start the home stretch.
