The ninth of the middle school basketball season took
place at Holly Middle School against Grand Blanc West. The action started out
sloppy, and stayed that way most of the game. Turnovers, missed free throws, and
missed shots plagued both teams. The first quarter featured a combined 12
points, with Grand Blanc doubling up the Holly boys. Tyler played in the first
and second quarters today, for about 5 minutes, and the Bronchos closed the gap
during his time on the floor. He was disappointed to not play in the second half
again today, but that is motivation to work harder in practice in order to gain
some more time on the court. The Bronchos took a decent lead into the final
minutes of the game, but the sloppy play took over again, and the Bobcats clawed
their way back into the game. A clutch contested three point shot made it a two
point game, but neither team managed to score again. The final score was a 34-32
victory, their sixth of the year. With three more games remaining on the
schedule, the worst the team's record could be is 6-6. Taking out the two
blowout losses to Fenton, their only other loss this season was by a single
point. Not too bad!
