Boys Junior Varsity Basketball vs. Milford HS School

Game Date
Dec 20, 2018
Score
COUGARS: 51
MILFORD HIGH SCHOOL: 45

ConVal JV Boys played their second game of the season yesterday at Milford and once again came out successful, this time in fancy new well-fitted shorts. The JV Cougars grinded through a well fought, yet, troublesome first half in which turnovers, mental mistakes and frantic play were their enemy. They still were able to go into the half with a tie score of 18-18.

Play got better in the third quarter and the Cougars came out on a run to go up 28-23. They were again their own worst enemies as they left the third quarter tied 34-34. The Cougars and Milford continued their back and forth battle up until roughly three minutes left in the game. Tied at 44, ConVal slowed the pace of the game, moved the ball, became less frantic, and held their composure. The improvement in ball movement and high IQ basketball led to two huge three points; one from freshman Austin Knight to go up three and a dagger, yet again, from Will "Big Shot" Theriault to seal the deal.

Owen Michaels also had a big three pointer in that fourth quarter and Will had a second big three earlier in the fourth to steady the ship. Owen Collins leadership, vocal communication, and defensive intensity helped the Cougars gain momentum and grant them runs throughout the game. He also chipped in 4 points on the day.

Impressive note to the JV team is that 9 of the 11 players that got minutes scored. High scorers with 8 were Erich Clarke and Will Theriault, right behind them with 7 were Max Scheinblum and Austin Knight, and Malachi Page and Trevor Faber with 6.

 

Great job team! Next game is Thursday, January 3rd at home against Kearsarge.
