LEON — Humboldt Middle School’s boys had an uneven night on the road Friday.
The Cubs led 15-10 in the A team game at halftime, but host Bluestem took control with a 15-4 third-quarter run to take control in a 29-22 setback.
“This was not our night,” Humboldt coach Jeremy Weilert said. “We did not play up to our capabilities.”
Ty Shaughnessy scored 13 points for Humboldt with six rebounds. Bentlee Anderson, Bryer Grisier and Weston Johnson added three points each. Johnson also had seven rebounds; Grisier had three steals.
The sneakers were on the other feet in the B team matchup.
Humboldt trailed 14-8 headed into the fourth quarter, but rallied with a 12-5 run to pull out a 20-19 squeaker.
“It was a good win for us,” Weilert said. “We really put it together in the fourth quarter.”
Zane Sanchez led Humboldt with 10 points and four steals. Riley Lassman added four points. Scoring two points each were Blayden McGuire, Tucker Wrestler and Bentley Kolb. Wrestler and Kolb each had eight rebounds. Wrestler also had four steals.
