The Gleason boys nearly took home
a hard-fought victory on Monday night. After rallying in the
second half to take the lead, the Bulldogs fell thanks to a
late layup by McKenzie 48-46 at Gleason High School.
In girls action, the Lady Bulldogs dominated McKenzie
76-29.
McKenzie Rebels 48
Gleason Bulldogs 46
Gleason was able to keep it close through much of the
game, eventually taking the lead multiple times in the
second half, but fell on a late Brice Priestley layup with
two seconds left in the game.
After an early layup from Darus Riding jumper to start
the scoring for McKenzie, Byron Fuqua and Adam Bennett gave
Gleason the lead with a pair of deuces. However, a trey from
Hunter Downing sparked a short run that was capped by a pair
of Beau Brown shots to give McKenzie a three-point lead with
3:20 left in the first frame. A three-pointer from Fuqua and
a free throw from Brandon Bailey gave the Bulldogs a brief
lead that the Rebels reclaimed with a jumper from Derek Carr
with 51 seconds left to make the score 11-10 at the end of
the first frame.
McKenzie was able to add to its lead in the second
frame, thanks to a sluggish second stanza by the Bulldogs.
Drew Hayes opened an 8-0 run with six points to help push
the Rebel lead to nine points. A three-pointer from Fuqua
and a jumper from Bennett late in the frame countered a
Julian Tucker deuce to make the score 21-15 at the half.
