Similarly to the JV game, the Humboldt Wildcats came out cold against Clarion-Goldfield-Dows last Friday night. However, it didn’t take them long to right the ship and they defeated the Cowboys in convincing fashion.
CGD got to the line early against Humboldt, and Chaz Lane established himself with an old fashioned three-point play. The Wildcats built an 11-point lead in the 2nd quarter of an array of shots. On the defensive end, Lane had an emphatic block. The sophomore put the Cowboy offense on his back and had another three-point play. Unfortunately, Humboldt led 36-22 at halftime.
In the 3rd, JD Morrical and Ethan Hasty both drained a three and Lane added yet another three-point play, but the team faced a 22-point deficit going into the 4th.
Humboldt kept their foot on the gas and pushed their lead to 30 in the 4th, winning by a final of 76-46.
Lane had 20 points, four steals, and a block in the loss. Morrical finished with nine points and three assist. Huxley Lingenfelter shot 50% from the field for six points, and Bryce Lindaman added five points and six boards.
The Wildcats shot 53.8% from the field as a team and three of their seniors finished in double digits.
