The boys basketball team opened up their 24-25 campaign on Monday, taking on the Lincoln West Wolverines. The Wolverines came into the contest with a 0-1 record, losing to Cuyahoga Heights, 52-37. The young Hurricanes were excited to get their season going.
Right out the gate, Brooklyn and Lincoln West traded made shots, but the Wolverines went on an 8-0 run to hold a 16-8 lead after one quarter.
They continued their hot streak into the second quarter, as they held a lead as high as 14 points midway. However, the Hurricanes started chipping away at the lead with a couple of big shots, and the energy was back in the building as they cut the Wolverines lead to eight at the half, 28-20.
The Hurricanes came out firing out the break, as they started the third on a 10-2 run to tie the game at 30. The Wolverines were able to regain and hold the lead for the remainder of the quarter, but Brooklyn was within striking distance, trailing 40-37 with eight minutes to go.
Sure enough, the Hurricanes grabbed their first lead since their 4-3 edge in the first quarter. They led 51-46 with under two minutes to go, but the Wolverines had some fight left in them to tie the game at 51. With a chance to win it, the Wolverines came up short on their final shot. Bonus basketball!
For the Hurricanes, the overtime session did not include junior Devin Hardwick due to fouling out late in regulation time.
The Wolverines were able to get more scoring opportunities and eventually put the clamps down on the Hurricanes, prevailing 61-55.
Despite Hardwick fouling out, he still led the Hurricanes in scoring with 24 points, and senior Tyler Cox chipped in with 23 points.
Lincoln West has a roster full of seniors, and the Hurricanes have a roster full of youth. This was a good test for the young Canes.
