Cyclones Drop Both Games Against Humphrey/LHF

Coming off of big wins Tuesday night, the Clearwater-Orchard basketball squads had high hopes for their showdown with Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family. Unfortunately for the Cyclones, the night didn't turn out as planned.

In the girls game, O-C started out strong in the first quarter, trailing just 13-12, but quickly fizzled out. They gave up 41 points in the second half while only putting up 22 of their own on the way to a 63-39 loss. 

The Cyclones shot just 14 percent on the night, led by Kinzly Macke's 12 points. Katie Stearns accounted for nine points while Brooklynn Chipps added eight. Under the net, Macke pulled in seven boards while Grace Rittscher pulled in six rebounds of her own.

In the boys game, it was much of the same story, with the Cyclones falling to the Bulldogs 69-45. O-C connected on 23 percent of their shots and giving up 14 turnovers.

Ryan Wilhelm led all Cyclone scorers with 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting. Liam Odell wasn't far behind, adding 10 points while Jacob Long added nine.
