PRESTON - The Preston boys' basketball team got off to a slow start and couldn't recover in a 66-53 loss to Blackfoot at home Friday.

The Broncos led 17-7 after one quarter, and the closest the Indians got was within eight points in the third quarter.

"Defensively, they got after us, but we didn't help ourselves by taking care of the ball," Preston coach Ryan Young. "We turned the ball over right off the bat and gave them some easy baskets that gave them confidence."

Chaz Spackman and Koltyn Hobbs each scored 15 to lead Preston. The Indians (1-2) next host Hillcrest on Wednesday.
