HUMBOLDT — Humboldt Middle School’s boys ended their home schedule on a high note Thursday.
The Cubs raced out to a 15-8 lead after one quarter and steadily built on that advantage in a 48-25 romp over visiting Fredonia.
Shooting accuracy was key. The Cubs shot 43% from the floor and hit 12 of 15 free throws in improving to 8-3 on the season.
Leading the way was Collin Cook with 18 points and seven rebounds, including five offensive boards.
Ty Shaughnessy poured in eight points, while Thatcher Mueller scored six and Hudson Rees and Kage Daniels five apiece. Kreed Jones scored four and Emmitt Carson two. Rees also had three blocks.
HUMBOLDT’S B team also ended with a night to remember, limiting Fredonia to two points in the second quarter and nothing the rest of the way in a 34-2 whitewash.
The first and third quarters were particularly dominant. Humboldt raced out to a 17-0 lead after one period, 21-2 at halftime and 33-2 after three quarters.
There were several key contributors, led by Ty Shaughnessy, who led with 11 points and three steals. Connor Newman followed with six points, three steals and three assists. Bryer Grisier and Kolton Hanson scored four apiece, while Cooper Peters, Cyler Mason, Weston Johnson, Nathan Seibert and Owen Sicka each scored a field goal. Hanson also had three steals.
Humboldt’s B team also stands at 8-3 on the season.
FREDONIA eked out a 4-2 win in a two-quarter C team game.
Blayden McGuire had Humboldt’s only field goal.
The Cubs travel to Neodesha Monday.
