The Audubon Wheelers grabbed a lead midway through the second quarter and fended off the CAM Cougars the rest of the way with a 56-44 win on Thursday night in boys hoops.  The Wheelers dropped in 41 first half points and led by 13 at halftime but the lead went on the basket in the second half. The two teams combined for just 11 points in the third quarter and CAM only could close the gap to 9 a couple of times in the fourth quarter.

After the game Audubon Head Coach Colleman Mullenix said the defensive pressure was solid for much of the night but the offense has to be more productive than they were in the second half.

Coach Mullenix also talked about the mental errors that plagued his team and the message to his team for the end of the season.

Audubon was led in the win by 19 points from Lane Lawson and 16 from Tate Killeen. The Wheelers are now 13-5 and will head to Underwood on Saturday.

CAM got 12 points from Lane Spieker but he was the only Cougar in double figures. The Cougars fall to 6-10 and will host Glidden-Ralston on Friday before heading to Woodbine on Saturday.
