Game 7 vs. Reed

The 7th grade Boys’ team took on Reed Middle School in Basketball yesterday. The B team came out firing on all cylinders with Noah Tews leading the team with four offensive and four defensive rebounds while Shamar Redix and Nicholas Cole each had three. Darnell Parker led the team with four steals and his teammates Andrew Langley, Coltin Smith, and Jordan Bollenbach combined to shut down the Reed big men inside. Carver held Reed scoreless for the first half with score at 20-0. The Reed Beavers picked up their defense in the second half but were outmatched by Carver behind the hustle of Shannon Ryan and Elvis Edwards and the Cougars won the game 31-12. Chavez Nguyen and Shamar Redix led the team with six points each and Shannon Ryan had five.
The A team came out wanting to send a message that they would not be outhustled- the message was received loud and clear. Altis Merrick, Seth Holyfield, Thomas Niekie, and Nathan Townsen out maneuvered, out scrapped, out jumped, and out anything else in took to get the ball away from the much bigger Read Beavers. Each of those players had four steals during the game as well as key rebounds to keep their team moving at break neck speed down the floor to score at the other end. Michael Fowler and Hayden Schmitz led the team in defensive rebounds and played the Reed big men very well. Once again Nicholas Cole and Coltin Smith came in to help the team get to a 35-17 third quarter lead with the B team coming in to finish the game 40-29.
The Cougars have a huge home game Wednesday against the Pershing Generals
