Boys notch another heart stopping win
Photos by Bobbie Cruzan White Cloud 48 Morley Stanwood 46 The Indians have played some interesting games of late and this one was no exception. Trailing by as many as 14 points in the 4th the Cloud slapped on some effective defensive pressure to claw their way back into a tie with a half minute remaining. Then came the heroics. Jared Watson took a charge to give the visitors possession. After a time out Kevin Strait took Watson’s inbound pass and fired a missile to a streaking Noah Robinson who knocked down a floater in the lane to give the Indians their third straight win, keeping them a half game out of second place in the conference race. Coach Jones: “Fun to watch these young men never give up and battle back for victories these last two Friday nights. Stressful but fun. Proud of how they never quit! They are learning to win besides just shooting light out from downtown.” Strait led the offense with 17 points, Jayden Robinson hit for 7 points, Noah Robinson counted 6 and Mason Reuther and Watson each tallied 5. Landyn McGowan and Dominick Burkhart scored 4 apiece. Zade Garrett scored 26 for Morley. White Cloud (6-3, 10-6) will look to make it four in a row when they host Walkerville Monday. Morley Stanwood 50 White Cloud 22 The White Cloud pressure defense kept the Mohawks in check for the first quarter staying within 3 points entering the second. The offense however could not keep pace with the hosts and Morley built a 27-15 lead by halftime. The second half saw the Indian offense go silent scoring just 3 in the third and adding only 4 in the 4th giving MS the conference win and falling below the .500 mark for the first time this season. Coach Wilk: “I thought we played decent defense in the 1st quarter, but after that we didn't put forth the effort needed to beat a good Morley Squad. Credit to Morley for having good ball movement tonight. We were slow with our rotations, and we will be looking to clean that up before our next game. Gaby Reeve led us with 10 points, and Jorja Baker showed great hustle and effort.” White Cloud (4-5, 8-9) heads to Ravenna Wednesday to take on the Bulldogs.
