Royals fall to Simon Kenton 45-42

The Mason County Royals' 18-game homecourt winning streak was snapped by a 45-42 loss to the Simon Kenton Pioneers on Senior Night on Saturday night.

Simon Kenton's 7-foot-three center Gabe Dynes protected the rim and allowed the Pioneers to extend their defense.

The Royals, playing without Terrell Henry and four subs for the second straight game due to injuries, trailed by eight points in the second quarter and led by five in the third quarter. 

Simon Kenton missed four free throws in the closing seconds, and Mason County missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Carter McClananan scored 11 points to lead the Royals in scoring.

The Royals (25-4) will close out the regular season at Grant County on Thursday night.
