Sports

January 22nd, 2021 by admin

Connor McKee hit a baseline jumper with about 24 seconds left in the game that proved to be the difference in a CAM 54-52 win over Ar-We-Va Friday night. The Rockets turned the ball over on their next possession and Walker Gettler was fouled with 4 seconds left after grabbing the steal. He missed the front end of the bonus and Ar-We-Va got it back and called timeout with 3 seconds left. The Rockets tried to heave a pass to the top of the key but nobody was able to get ahold of the ball and time ran out.

Talking about the game winning shot, McKee said they talked about getting him the ball on the baseline.

McKee led the Cougars with 17 points, Colby Rich had 15, and Cade Ticknor dropped in 12. The Cougars get back to a .500 record at 6-6. McKee said this win should help propel them forward.

Ar-We-Va was led by 16 points from Zach Schimmer and 15 from Will Ragaller. The Rockets fall to 7-7 on the season.
