The 15th-ranked Superior boys’ basketball is flirting with missing the playoffs after dropping two of its last three games to No. 3 Ft. Thomas and No. 16 Duncan.
Superior won its last game, defeating visiting Phoenix Day School for the Deaf on Friday night, 49 – 33.
Marcos Bueno scored 41 points combined in the pair of losses and was nearly a one-man show in both games. Jalon Murray, who scored five points in the 56 – 34 loss to Duncan on Jan. 13, finished with a double-double – 11 points and 14 rebounds – against Ft. Thomas last Tuesday.
Three of the Panthers’ four remaining regular-season games are versus teams below them in the region standings. The other is against first-place NFL Yet Academy.
Upcoming schedule: Jan. 24 at North Phoenix Prep and Jan. 27 vs. NFL Yet Academy. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.
