HUMBOLDT — An overall “unselfishness” proved to work well for the Humboldt High Cubs in their win over the Cherryvale High Chargers Friday night.
“We shared the ball well tonight and got some good open looks,” Humboldt coach David Taylor said.
Humboldt led 44-16 in the first half.
“Of course (Noah) Thornbrugh had a great game, another double-double,” he said.
Thornbrugh had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in the contest — statistics that are becoming routine at this point.
The win didn’t come on the back of Thornbrugh alone. Tanner McNutt contributed 11 points and Hunter Murrow, Nathan Whitcomb and Trey Johnson each had eight points.
“Trey ends up doing a lot of the dirty work on the court, I was glad to see him get some points,” Taylor said. “Hunter Murrow is consistent, I can always count on him.”
The win keeps the Cubs record spotless at 9-0.
Humboldt’s JV squads doubled-up on victories against Cherryvale Friday night.
The Cubs’ B team won 57-22 over the chargers, Markiz Pulliam led the victory with 14 points. The C team won as well, 54-29. Corey Whitcomb led the scoring with 12 points.
