Last Friday, the boys basketball team (0-2) welcomed in the Cloverleaf Colts (1-1). Both of these teams matched up pretty evenly, so this was sure going to be an entertaining game, and it certainly did not disappoint.
In the first quarter, both teams traded multiple baskets in high-tempo fashion. Offenses were clicking, putting stress on both defenses. Senior Tyler Cox scored 10 points in the first quarter alone, but the Colts held a three-point advantage, 21-18, as the period closed.
The Colts began to pour it on in the second, as they increased their lead over the Hurricanes with multiple three-pointers, transition baskets, and a swarming press, taking a 40-29 lead at the break.
Coming out of the break, the Hurricanes were blazing, but the Colts continued to respond to the Hurricanes offense with offense of their own as they held a 10-point lead with one final quarter to play.
In the fourth, it seemed like Cloverleaf was going to pull away due to their 65-48 lead; however, the energy began to shift in favor of the Hurricanes, as they went on a 13-0 run to cut the deficit to four with two minutes to go.
The noise level in the gym was very high as the Hurricanes had a chance to complete the miraculous comeback. Unfortunately, the young Canes came up just short in the final minutes, and the Colts prevailed, 71-65.
Junior Devin Hardwick led the team down the stretch with a career-high 37 points, including 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Great effort, boys!
