VS EAGLE GROVE It was the first game of the season for the Cowboys when they defeated the Eagles 61-28. Monday night’s matchup shared similar results, as the Cowboys won 74-32…though it didn’t start off too hot for the Cowboys.
In the first quarter, the Cowboys sat their starting lineup. However, within a few minutes, the starting lineup was needed again as the Cowboys were down 9-2. Coach Berning promptly responded as the starting lineup emerged onto the court. The Cowboys stole the show throughout the rest of the quarter–and quite frankly the entire game. The Cowboys drilled 20 points over the Eagles, ending the first quarter 20-9. The Eagles never surrendered, as they continued their drive, pressuring the Cowboys offensively while struggling defensively. The Cowboys scored another 16 points in the second quarter, while only allowing six. The first half ended 36-15 with the Cowboys on top.
Starting the third quarter stronger than any quarter, and completely opposite from the first, the Cowboys continued to secure baskets over the Eagles, putting on quite a show for the spectators. The third quarter saw an impressive 26 points from the Cowboys while the Eagles added their most points scored as well, adding 12. Heading into the fourth and final quarter, the Cowboys were up 62-27. With a roaring cheer from just about everyone in the stands, from fans on both sides, Jaden “The Half-Court Crusher” managed to drain a three pointer for the Eagles in the final minutes of the match. The game then concluded with a dominating win, as the Eagles were clobbered, again, but this time with a result of 74-32. After their triumph over the Eagles, the Cowboys faced St. Edmond on Tuesday, Jan. 18.

VS, WEBSTER CITY Another relatively close matchup for the Cowboys, as the Webster City Lynx fought hard throughout the beginning of the match…but once the Cowboys took off, there was no turning back.
The first quarter proved to be a tight race for first as the Cowboys were just two points ahead of the Lynx to finish up the first eight minutes of the game. Up 12-10, the Cowboys bolted through the second quarter quashing any possible hopes that rested in the eyes of the Lynx spectators, as the Cowboys poured 21 points over the Lynx, who scored 11 before the end of the first half.

Both teams added 10 points in the third quarter, proving nothing for the Lynx as the Cowboys were then up 43-31. With the final quarter at hand, the Cowboys truly ended the night with a show as stellar maneuvers were made from the CGD players. With jukes and twirls, fakes and stutters, the Cowboys finished the Lynx stylishly, adding 13 points to the final quarter while conceding 12. The Lynx side of the court surely grew silent as the Cowboys contributed a fifth loss for the Lynx, and snatched a 12th win this season.
