Both play again tomorrow in the Not Quite Hawaii Classic.

How'd Jacob Meyer do? That kid's gonna be a star. Koz needs to find a way to get him on the field to play QB.

Holy Cross turned up the defensive pressure in the 2nd half forcing many BC turnovers and outscored the Polar Bears 49-24 to come away with the win.

 

Indians get another balanced scoring night with 4 guys in double figures and great bench play tonight from Trent Gabbard who added 9 points.

 

Bracken Co played hard the whole game just ran out of gas in the 2nd half against the defensive pressure by the Indians. Impressive game from Cummins and the 8th grader Blake Reed is going to be a good one. Good luck to both teams tomorrow.

 

BC - 19 18 12 12 = 61

HC - 18 17 27 22 = 84

Gotta love the Cross balanced scoring attack. 4-7 kids who can score 10+ a game led by Meyer and Niehaus. The 35th District battle is gonna be a good one this year. I think it's a lot tighter than people think.

 

Congrats to Coach Grammer and the Indians!

Holy Cross is finally healthy getting Gabbard back from injury into the rotation and Brandon McClendon has really started to play well.
