HUMBOLDT — The basketball season started for Humboldt Middle School’s girls and boys Monday against Galesburg Middle School.
The boys teams split their games.
Humboldt’s eighth-graders won big, 46-14.
“This was a total team effort. We were very efficient on the offensive end of the court, especially in the first half,” said coach Jeremy Weilert. “I felt we could have played a littler cleaner on the defensive end of the court.”
Teryn Johnson led the Cubs with 12 points. Caleb Coronado scored eight points and grabbed four rebounds. Tucker Hurst scored six points and grabbed four rebounds. Bo Bigelow scored six points and Logan Gray came down with four rebounds. Ryan Sellman, Xavier Bauer, Caleb Klauman, Calvin Schoendaller, Dylan Doolittle, David Watts and Kyle O’Neal each scored two points.
The seventh-graders lost, 27-12.
“The boys played hard,” Weilert said. “We didn’t shoot the ball as well as I think we can.”
The girls A-Team won, 32-13.
“The girls came out really nervous, which we expected a little for the first game,” coach Scott Brady said. “They really settled into a rhythm the second and third quarters and went on a couple of nice runs to give us a comfortable lead.”
Maggie Johnson led the team with 15 points. Maddie Gean scored seven points and Aricah McCall scored three points. Emma Johnson, Tori White and Sadie Houk each scored two points. Alayna Johnson made a free throw.
The B-Team game was canceled.
Humboldt travels to Cherryvale Thursday.
