CL Boy’s Basketball Unleash Tasmania Devil Beat Randolph, 65-40
Canyon Lake’s second half proved the difference in this 25 point win over a Randolph (11-2) a team that entered this contest with just one loss and leaves with a soul searching loss, 65-40.
This was the Hawk’s second consecutive game with 14 or more assists and steals.
Those two categories show a relentless, get after them attitude, especially on that defensive side of this game.
The first half was a back and forth affair with each school alternating runs which would end up with a tied score at half, 26 all. In fact, Randolph had a two point lead twice with one to start the game, 2-0 and then to start the 2nd half, 28-26.
But CL would forged to a 10 point advantage during that 2nd stanza, 26-16 with 2 minutes left on the clock. Then Randolph scored 12 unanswered points mostly from the free throw stripe and took their first lead, 28-26 to start the 3rd quarter.
That was when a Hawk Tazmania Devil was unleashed for the remainder of this game seeing the home team score a knock-out punch finishing with a, 39-12 blitz.
It was that second half that had The Lake turning what had been a lackluster 3rd quarter this season into a sparkling 21 point stanza while giving up two quarters of 7 points to Randolph.
Carter Williams had another double-double scoring 18 points while corralling 12 rebounds. Between Williams, Dalton Stromquist, and Eli Hammons the offensive rebounds was a war zone with these three players combining with 16 offensive boards.
Jacob Holland with his 4 long range 3 pointers has reached 100 3-pointers and joins two other Hawks with that distinction.
