The Bonney Lake boys basketball came back from winter break and went down under. The Bonney Lake Panthers hosted Australian prep team the Penwith Panthers last week, culminating in an exhibition match-up Thursday.

Bonney Lake lost to the visitors 60-55.

The home team started strong, shooting 10 of 15 attempted three-point shots and 14 of 25 in-field shots.

But they “went cold” in the second half, according to coach Rob Smith, making only three of 20 three-pointers and five out of 27 in-field shots.

Derek Lund was the high-scorer of the night with 19, followed by JC Herd with 15.

The team lost 73-51 against Auburn Mountainview Friday.
