Cougs Put Down the Clamps on St. Luke's, Move to 3-0
In what was a rough-and-tumble game today against the St. Luke's Storm, the NCCS JV Cougars prevailed 30-14, finishing their early season three game homestand with another victory.
Points were few and far between in the early stages of the game, as both teams played aggressive man-to-man defense and sloppy offense. Turnovers were the law of the land in this quarter, as both sides finished with just two points to show for it and a handful of turnovers each.
However, in the second quarter, the Cougars were able to string together a few decent offensive possessions while not sacrificing an ounce of defensive effort. PG Lucan Glennan and C Colin Buda popped in a couple of baskets each in the second quarter, and paired with a bucket from F Evan Frey and a free throw from F Will Bria, NCCS went into the break with a 13-5 advantage.
The game stayed consistent in the second half. The Cougars peppered in about a point a minute while continuing to smother the Lukies on D. By the final whistle, the Lukies were gassed and the Cougars were triumphant. Final score - Cougars 30, Storm 14.
Stat Corner
-By Coach Reding's tally, the NCCS boys had nearly 30 steals as a team. Shoutout to C Colin Buda who had a team high of eight steals!
-In addition, the the Cougs owned the glass. G/F Graeson Smith led the team with 10 boards, but C Chase Bell brought down seven, F Evan Frey snagged six, and F Townsend Leconey had five.
-Let's also not forget G Dan Bowlin's free throw in the fourth quarter - with that point, each of our players has now scored on the season!
