Randall edges Canyon
Randall was able to do gain some ground in the district race by holding off rival Canyon thanks to a 56-54 win on the home court of the House of Doom on Tuesday night.
The Raiders keep an unblemished record in District 4-4A at 10-0 while improving to 25-3 overall. The Raiders now hold a comfortable three-game lead over Canyon which drops to 7-3 in the league and 15-10 overall.
This game was close throughout with the Canyon upset bid falling just short down the stretch. KJ Thomas did what he does each and every night scoring a game-high 22 points to lead the Raiders. Taysen Combs also came in clutch with 16. Canyon’s Gage Lunsford and Trace Wilson each put up 14 points despite the loss.
Bushland rallies past River Road
In a battle of crosstown rivals, the Bushland Falcons put together a strong second half run that was enough to pull away from upset-minded River Road 44-33 at River Road High School on Tuesday night.
The two teams struggled on the offensive end in the first half with the Falcons clinging to an 18-17 halftime advantage. However, the second half was a different story as the Falcons found momentum going on a 17-6 third quarter run to help soar past the Wildcats.
Tagg Thrash was key in the win for Bushland scoring a team-high 15 points. Jenner King followed with nine. Lui Aguilera led the Wildcats with 15 points and four rebounds.
