Tigers are 7-0 going into Blue & Gold tourney
There are four quarters in a high school basketball game, but when one team leads by 27 points at the half, it is usually over for all practical purposes. Thatâs what happened Tuesday, Dec. 15 when the Skyline boys traveled to Buffalo and were awesome in the first half. They led 22-5 at the quarter and 40-13 at intermission on their way to a 78-46 win.
The game was tied 3-3 early following a 3-point shot by the Bisonâs Pierce Obernuefemann, but then Skyline went on a 17-2 run that started with a layup by Kourt Cheek after a no-look pass from Jaytin DeFreece. Lawson Beem, who led the attack with 19 points, canned two straight 3-pointers, the first one following an assist from Cheek.
