Cardinals hold back Bobcats, 61-58 Van Wade The Orange Leader ORANGEFIELD — It looked as if Bridge City was going to cruise to an easy District 21-3A win over the Orangefield Bobcats Tuesday night. Instead, the Cardinals were breathing a sigh of relief as they left Bobcat Gym with a nailbiting 61-58 win. It was Bridge City’s first 21-3A win over the Bobcats since the 2005-06 campaign and it was far from easy. Leading 48-28 with a little more than five minutes remaining in the third period, the Cardinals (12-15, 1-3) saw the gritty Bobcats (15-13, 1-3) rally all the way back to withing 59-58 with 27 seconds left. However, the Cardinals held on when they watched Bobcat Bryden Smith’s three-point shot attempt rattle around the rim at the buzzer. Both teams had several peaks and valleys throughout the Orange County rival game. However, the Bobcats simply had no answer for Cardinal forward Nate McAnelly, who threw in a game-high 24 points while hauling down 17 rebounds. The Cardinals also received a big effort from feisty point guard Zach Heinze, who finished with 19 points. Tanner Girouard had nine points and eight boards for the Cardinals while Tanner Hogan added seven points and five rebounds. The Bobcats were definitely playing shorthanded. They were without the services of leading scorer and rebounder Zach Hayes along with post Luke Gunstream, who both sat out due to injury. Orangefield, despite their two missing seniors, made an amazing comeback. The Bobcats forced the Cardinals into 14 of their 22 turnovers to get back in the game in a furious fourth quarter that the Cardinals surely felt lasted way too long. Smith buried two three-point bombs in the final eight minutes and Garrett Granger had five points in the fourth as well as the Bobcats almost pulled it out, going on an 18-2 run to get to within four with 4:13 left. A nice shot inside by Dylan Cole got the Bobcats to within 59-58 with 1:26 left but the Cardinals held on. Granger led the Bobcats with 14 points. Christian Holland played well for Orangefield, scoring 12 points while snaring seven rebounds. Derrick Evans had 10 points. Julian Morgan had six points and seven rebounds and Cole finished with six points and six boards. Bridge City finished with a slight 37-33 rebounding edge. Orangefield finished with 11 turnovers but free throws killed the Bobcats, who went 0-for-6. The Cardinals went 9-of-16 from the charity stripe. The Bobcats led early 15-10 only to see the Cardinals go on a 15-0 run as Bridge City led 37-24 at intermission. McAnelly had the hot hand early, scoring 16 points while grabbing 10 rebounds in the first 16 minutes. Heinze had 11 first-half points, burying three three-pointers in the process. Evans had 10 first-half points for the Bobcats, eight of them coming in the first period. Bridge City will look for its second straight 21-3A win when they play host to Hamshire-Fannett Friday while the Bobcats visit Orange County rival West Orange-Stark.

[/quote]I didn't know you were slipp'n thru the back door to run out. [/quote] Hey, I went in and out of the doors that the HF administration told me to use. There was no slippin. You saw me, but I don't know you. You should have took the initiative to come up and say hello.

[quote name="court side" post="750206" timestamp="1264568762"] Can any one tell me if UIL has put in a mercy rule for high school basketball or is it just left up to the score keeper and and the idiot running the clock? Nothing against WH team or the WH fans they where great but you have a small minded fellow running the clock that takes upon his self to end the game as quickly as he can. He started running the clock on out of bounds, and FT about mid way of the 2nd and the whole 2nd half. Never seen such crap in a varsity game. Seen it a few times in JR high but never in a District Varsity game. The teams might have played 3 full quarters,maybe [/quote] Had Coach Issacs agreed to this?

Turnovers: Silsbee 15 HF      24 Rebounding Silsbee    52 HF          26 Silsbee dominated this game from start to finish. The Tigers killed the Horns on the boards, out rebounding the shorter Longhorns 52-26, double the rebounds!!! Also, this was the best 3 point shooting night for Silsbee all season. They hit 7 of 12 from 3 point land, with the 7 being the high mark for the season so far. Silsbee's man pressure caused 24 turnovers by HF. All 10 Tiger players scored tonight as the Silsbee starters played maybe a total of 12 minutes tonight. The second 5 got plenty of playing time tonight. Kelton Gaines had his best night tonight with 17 points, 3 three pointers, to lead Silsbee. Also Silsbee post man Avory Thomas had 13 points, 10 boards and another 6 block shots. Avory had 4 dunks tonight, 1 of which brought the house down. There were two highlight dunks tonight. Avory's alley oop from an inbounds pass from Prentice Lane was great as he dunked on top of two HF players. But the big dunk tonight came from '6"2 jr. Xavior Harris. Silsbee was shooting a one and one from the foul line and missed the front end but Harris snaked his way in and caught the rebound in mid air and flushed it home!!!!! Spectacular!!! Another solid win for the Tigers as they now focus in on HJ for Friday night!

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="750083" timestamp="1264562370"] I'm waiting on u Aggie to come down [/quote] You should have came up.

I would think one would look at head to head than the "who beat who" when two teams are tied. ;)
