Barbe 54, Westlake 26
WESTLAKE–A good night on defense was not enough to compensate for a lack luster night offensively for the Westlake Rams in a 54-26 loss on Tuesday night in the other semifinal game at the Cameron State Bank Holiday Classic at Westlake High School. The Rams defense was able to keep the game close at half by an 18-10 score.
The Bucs turned up the heat in the second half with a 15 point third quarter and a 21 point fourth to take the 54-26 victory. “We kept it close but just had a poor offensive night,” Westlake head coach Doug Morris said. “The defense was good but Barbe eventually started to turn up the pressure and hit some shots in the fourth quarter.”
Christian Weber led the Rams with nine points while Barbe’s Dustin Johnson led all scorers with 17 points. Barbe moves on the championship game against Iowa while the Rams will battle for third place against Sam Houston at 5 p.m.
Welsh 72, Vinton 63
WESTLAKE–Despite trailing 28-8 after the first quarter, the Vinton Lions fought back but ran out of time in a 72-63 loss to the Welsh Greyhounds on Tuesday night in the consolation bracket of the Cameron State Bank Holiday Classic. The Greyhounds jumped on the Lions early, but the Lions didn’t lie down.
“They jumped on us early and we reverted back to some things that we did last year,” said Vinton head coach Jason Tharp. “But we fought back and we chipped away at their lead.”
The Lions continued to fight to stay in the game and in the fourth quarter outscored Welsh 27-18 led by Jarrod Anderson. Anderson hit some big three’s for Vinton and went 7-of-8 in the fourth quarter. But Vinton just ran out of time. “I was proud of them that they stuck with it,” Tharp said.
