After a slow start to the season, the boys basketball team is on fire and is playing really good basketball.
Last Friday, the Hurricanes (1-2) travelled to Cloverleaf to take on the 1-0 Colts. The Hurricanes were coming off their first victory of the season when they defeated Chagrin Falls, 62-59, last Wednesday. It was now time for two straight victories.
Brooklyn came out strong in the first quarter, scoring the first five points of the contest while playing excellent defense for a 16-8 lead after one.
The Hurricanes continued playing well in the second quarter, as they outrebounded the Colts and forced numerous turnovers that led to easy transition baskets.
At the break, the Hurricanes held a 14-point lead over Cloverleaf, 36-22.
The Hurricanes opened the third quarter on a 21-5 run, giving them the largest lead of the game at 57-27 and leaving no doubt on their pending victory. The Colts began to claw their way back, making things a little more interesting, but Brooklyn still held a 26-point lead with eight minutes to go.
In the final quarter, senior Devin Hardwick made history as he scored his 1000th point. The team then cruised through the final minutes to secure their second win of the season, building momentum as Conference play looms.
Final Score: Brooklyn 81, Cloverleaf 59.
Hardwick led the way in scoring with 26 points, and junior Braelyn Gardner tallied 21 points. Freshman Shaddai Givens added 15 points, while junior Jose Matteo chipped in with 13 points.
This victory served as well-deserved revenge as the Hurricanes fell 71-65 the last time these two teams met.
Congrats to Devin and the rest of the Hurricanes’ basketball team.
Looking ahead, the boys will travel to Beachwood this Saturday to take on the Bison. Varsity tip-off will be at 12:15.
