Fourth Quarter
When you outscore your opponent in each quarter, you can easily celebrate a victory. Such was the story tonight as the Arabians took over late in the first quarter and didn't let up. It is also a good sign when 11 of your players score points. That is somewhat unheard of. Leading the scoring barrage was Josiah Gustin with 25 huge points. He also pulled down 10 rebounds for a solid double double. Isaac Wilson scored 8 points in critical situations. Also scoring for the Arabians was Aaron Cookston and Evan Mozingo each scoring 7. Brayden Kanitz scored 5. Canon Cook was 1 for 1 from the 3 point line for 3 points. Dontrez Braxton, Hunter Suchyna, Caden Sims and Reese Caplinger with 2. Joe Estes rounded out the scoring with 1. Celebration tonight, but a short time to prepare for their next game which will be this coming Tuesday against a very strong Eastern Hancock team. It will be the last regular season game and we need to pack the gym starting at 6:00. See you there.
