CAM boys rally for win over Audubon

Sports

February 6th, 2020 by admin

The CAM boys basketball team trailed much of the night against the Audubon Wheelers on Thursday but eventually made some big fourth quarter plays and free throws to pick up a 52-48 win. CAM never led in the first half but only trailed by one 25-24 at the half. The Cougars grabbed their first lead late in the third quarter and held a one point lead 34-33 heading into the final period. The Wheelers grabbed a lead early in the fourth but the Cougars went 12-14 from the free throw line in the final period to grab the victory. CAM Head Coach Nick Hodges liked the way his team finished strong.

Ethan Arp finished with 16 points and Connor McKee dropped in 15 for the Cougars. Arp went 5 for 5 at the foul line in the fourth quarter and his first make of the night was a three that he said got him going.

Arp said they finally got into a better rhythm as a team midway through the third quarter.

The Wheelers made it tough for the Cougars to find open looks for much of the night and Connor McKee said they just had to be patient.

CAM improved to 14-4 on the season and will try to avenge one of those losses on Friday night with a home game against Exira-EHK. We’ll have that game on KJAN.

Audubon was led by 14 points from Gavin Smith and 13 from Skyler Schultes. The Wheelers dropped to 8-12 on the year and will host IKM-Manning next Tuesday.

Audubon girls snag big road win over CAM

Sports

February 6th, 2020 by admin

The Audubon girls basketball team picked up a big road win over the CAM Cougars on Thursday night in Anita. The Wheelers led for most of the game, and some great foul shooting helped them seal a 53-45 win.

Audubon jumped up early in the game and never trailed until late in the second quarter when CAM went ahead 24-23. The Wheelers used a 6-1 run at that point in the game to lead 29-25 at half. The Cougars would get within 4 points twice in the third quarter but never closer. Auduon led 38-34 at the end of the third and quickly pushed that lead out to as much as 10 in the fourth. The Wheelers seems to make the hustle plays down the stretch, including some strong rebounding and Audubon Head Coach Darran Miller said that was big.

Leah Subbert had a big night for Audubon with 21 points. She went 8-11 at the free throw line and knocked in a couple threes to spark the offense early. Coach Miller said they have confidence in Subbert to shoot when she gets good looks.

The Wheelers also got 15 points from Jaci Christensen and 10 from Aleah Hermensen as they improved to 13-7. The Wheelers will host IKM-Manning on Tuesday to end the regular season and then host Orient-Macksburg in their opening playoff game next Thursday.

CAM was led by 14 points from Zoey Baylor and the Cougars fall to 13-6. They have dropped four straight and face another tough test on Friday night against Exira-EHK. We’ll have that game for you on KJAN.
