Bulldogs Fall Short In OT Loss

Four Springdale High players scored in double figures Thursday, but it wasn’t enough as the Bulldogs blew a 17-point halftime lead and suffered a 69-66 overtime loss to Liberty, Mo., at the Springfield (Mo.) Kickapoo Tournament.

Dashaun Stark led Springdale (1-1) with 21 points and went 8-for-8 at the free-throw line. But Liberty rallied from a 36-19 deficit at halftime and made a putback with two seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime.

“Obviously, we’re disappointed we lost the game, but it is a learning experience for us,” said Brad Stamps, Springdale boys basketball coach.

Tereke Eckwood scored 13 points, and Alex Scharlau added 11 for Springdale, which returns to action at 7:30 p.m. today to face host Kickapoo.
