This past Tuesday, the boys varsity basketball team hosted the Oberlin Phoenix in a non conference bout. The Canes came in with a record of 8-7, while Oberlin came limping in with a 1-13 mark.
After defeating CVC foe Independence on the road last Friday, the Hurricanes looked to make it two straight victories.
The hosts jumped out to an early 8-0 lead within the first two minutes with two three-pointers from seniors Santana Sammons and Jaiden Ramos, forcing Oberlin to call a quick timeout. Their momentum did not stop after the timeout as they kept playing well on both ends of the floor. After the first quarter, the Hurricanes built a commanding lead, 20-7.
The Hurricanes continued to play great, swarming defense and forced multiple turnovers in the second quarter, but they could not seem to knock down shots as they were held to just six points in the second period.
However, heading into the locker room, the Hurricanes maintained a double-digit lead, 26-16. Sammons led the way with 12 first half points.
In the third quarter, the Hurricanes maintained their lead and did not allow the Phoenix to chip away. Outscoring the visitors 13-6 in the frame, the Hurricanes expanded their lead to 39-22 as both teams prepared for the final quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Hurricanes started off with a 7-0 run and led by as many as 24 points. Simply, they put the dagger in the Phoenix’s coffin. Clearing out the bench, the boys prevailed by a final score of 54-31.
The Hurricanes improved to 9-7, while Oberlin dropped to 1-14.
Up next, a big-time CVC battle at Trinity with both teams vying for first place in the Metro Division. Tip-off is Friday at 6:45.
Additionally, there will be a girls and boys basketball doubleheader next Tuesday against Medina Christian Academy. This will also be senior night for the girls.
The boys senior night will be on Wednesday, February 7, against Lincoln West.
Finally, the hockey team will be playing their final regular season game at home tonight against Cleveland Heights at 7:30. Come out and support the team!
Go Canes!
