Broncos shot down by MTCS
Eight 3-pointers and a 21-point third period by Middle Tennessee Christian Friday night at Boyd was more than enough to stop the Broncos, as the Cougars rolled past Boyd 65-36 in non-district action.
Adam White was to the go-to guy in the first half for Boyd. White did all he could do to keep his Broncos in the game during the first half, as he hit for eight of Boyd’s 17 points in the half. The Cougars’ offense hit from every sport on the floor, including two 3-pointers each by Harry Cheng and Jonathan Sims. By the end of the first period MTCS held a 19-7 lead and by the end of the half they had built a 30-17 lead.
The Cougars first three baskets of the third period were 3’s. James Dunlap hit from behind the arc for Boyd at the 4:44 mark, and Dustin Curtis added a pair of field goals giving Boyd seven points in the third. But the Broncos still trailed by 27 points, 51-24, going into the final period.
Boyd turned the ball over seven times in the final period. Matthew Hancock and Mitchell Young each had a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, but the Cougars continued to stay hot from 3-point land, adding 14 points in the period for the victory.
White led the Broncos with 10 points, Curtis hit for eight, Young had five, and Hancock, Dunlap and Dillion Childers added three points each. Tyler Hillis and Henry Hall added two points apiece.
For the Cougars, Cheng led with 11 points, Michael Miller had 10, Sims hit for nine, Hunter lee and Jordan Baron had seven points each. Jake Hall had five, Aaron Mankin six, Ryan West two, Adam Varbonoff and Hulon Holmes added one point each.
The Broncos will be in action again on Tuesday, traveling to South Pittsburg.
