Exciting boys basketball Tuesday evening at WHS - unfortunately, in the end, Clearwater went home with 3 wins, 2 of which weren't accomplished without great challenge. For a team that had practiced only once in the past 2 weeks due to health guidelines, the Crusaders played strong.

In JV action, Clearwater buried the younger boys in the first half, up by 18 after 2. Those same young men, didn't hang their heads and went on a 15-4 run at the beginning of the 3rd but couldn't quite get over the hump. Final JV score CHS 64 WHS 59. I was proud of these Crusaders - they battled.

JV SCORING

Logan Swingle - 17

Keaton Hartman - 13

Deitrek Gill - 10

Korbin Jones - 10

RJ Clift - 4

Cope Henry - 3

Jack Wright - 2

The Varsity squad, battled as well. After 3, the score was knotted at 43 each. The Indians are a tall team, I think their 5 starters ranged from 6' 2" to 6' 5". After some hot shooting earlier, Crusader buckets were harder to come by, down the 4th qtr stretch. The Indians pulled away the last minute of action, winning by 5.

CHS 58 WHS 53

Tanner Meyer - 27

Banks Hinshaw - 12

Jack Wright - 5

Cope Henry - 4

Montel Tate - 3

RJ Clift - 2

A tough, tough battle - proud of the effort, proud of this squad.

"C" Team came up short - no score or scoring to report.
