STUTTGART, Ark. – Coming so close to completing a remarkable on-the-road comeback Friday night, the Warren Lumberjacks dropped their second 8-4A Conference game of the season, losing to Stuttgart 55-46.
A hard fought opening quarter of action saw the lead switch at least twice. Stuttgart was the beneficiary of a razor-thin 9-8 lead going into the second.
