For the second consecutive game, the Wetumpka Indians boys’ basketball team struggled to sink free throws down the stretch.

The Indians (2-1) couldn’t overcome 12 missed from the line Nov. 19 en route to a seven-point loss at Booker T. Washington. Against the Elmore County Panthers (1-1), WHS survived 13 missed free throws to hold on to a 70-65.
