Angelle, Bobcats bury Bridge City

The Orange Leader

ORANGEFIELD — Orangefield senior Tyler Angelle turned Senior Night at Bobcat Gym into his own shooting exhibition.

Angelle, known for his markmanship, lit up Bridge City for 24 points. He hit six three-pointers on the night, including five in the second half to lead the Bobcats to a convincing 60-37 victory over the Cardinals to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The Bobcats (18-14, 4-5) will visit West Orange-Stark to face the Mustangs (21-10, 5-4) Tuesday night. Orangefield has to win that game to force a third-place playoff game for the final postseason spot out of District 21-3A.

It was the same story for the Cardinals (15-18, 0-9). They fought the Bobcats hard for three quarters then fell off the pace in the final eight minutes. In the two schools’ three matchups this year, Orangefield has outscored the Cardinals 66-23 in the fourth period, including 22-7 Friday night.

Leading 19-16 in at halftime, the Bobcats stretched their lead to 38-30 at the end of the third as Angelle busted loose for three three-pointers, all coming from the left side or left corner. Bobcat junior Zach Hayes scored six of his 12 points in the period. Hayes finished with a double-double, adding a game-high 11 rebounds as well.

The Bobcats scored the first eight points of the fourth period as Angelle ripped two more treys and Logan Moss scored a nice move inside, pushing the lead to 46-30 and the Bobcats never looked back.

Post Tanner Girouard led the Cardinals, scoring 10 points and tearing down a team-high seven rebounds. Will Veillon had one of his better games in a Cardinal uniform, tallying nine points while grabbing six rebounds. Justin Pittman scored six points for the Cardinals, who were outrebounded 35-28.

Post Stefan Addison had eight points and five boards for the Bobcats while Casey Sparks pulled down six rebounds.

The Cardinals finished with 21 turnovers while the Bobcats had 18 miscues.

Orangefield drained 18-of-28 from the free-throw line while Bridge City was just 4-of-12.

The Cardinals look to close the season on a high note when they welcome Hamshire-Fannett to Cardinal Gym Tuesday for Senior Night.
