Monterey comes back to top Boyd
|
Both teams moved the ball quickly up and down the floor in the first half. In the first period the Medley twins, Sam and Jay, provided the offense for Boyd as they helped the Broncos to 13 points in the quarter. Monterey pounded the ball inside the paint late in the period, however, and held a 15-13 lead after one period of play.
In the second quarter both teams started to heat up from the floor. The game was tied at 21-21 at the 5:40 mark, and Sam Medley put Boyd up 28-25 with 3:13 left. Boyd held the lead when Taylor Hancock hit a 3-pointer to tie the game at 33-33 with just three seconds on the clock. Boyd inbounded the ball and got it to Dustin Curtis, who let go a 3-pointer as time expired. Curtis was fouled and went to the line for a chance to give Boyd back the lead, hitting one of three attempts and giving Boyd a one-point halftime edge.
In the third quarter Boyd saw its lead start to slip away. The Broncos were down by three with 4:50 left in the period, when both Medley boys found themselves in foul trouble with four each. Monterey took advantage of the Medleys being on the bench, and opened up a 50-38 lead by the end of the quarter.
Boyd pulled within eight points early in the fourth, but with 3:22 left in the game the Broncos trailed 59-44. Monterey hit for six unanswered points and put the game out of reach.
Boyd was 17-of-24 from the line, with Monterey hitting for 15-of-24.
Sam Medley led the way for Boyd with 22 points, while Jay Medley had 11. Clint Patterson hit for eight, Kenneth King added six, John Watson and Casey Hertwig had four points each and Curtis added one.
For the Wildcats Matt Phillips had 26, John Harris 15, Taylor Hancock 7, Jeffery Sparks six and Davy Walker had five points. Dustin Morgan had four, Jacob Key and Josh Key had three points each.
The Broncos return to action Tuesday, when they hit the road to take on Gordonsville.
