LAKEWOOD — Despite Paul Coleman’s 14 points and seven rebounds, Lakewood fell to Archbishop Murphy 59-45 in a conference basketball game Jan. 20.

“We just didn’t shoot well and missed a lot of shots we’d normally make,” Lakewood coach Anthony Wiederkehr said. “It was just kind of a dark cloud over our team.”

Despite an early lead by Lakewood, the Cougars failed to find that “spark” needed to stay on top of Murphy, Wiederkehr said.

Lakewood’s league record is 3-6  and 8-7 overall.

Next week, Lakewood hosts Cedarcrest Tuesday, Jan. 27, and Cedar Park Christian Friday, Jan. 30.
