The Kimball Cubs hosted
the Eden-Valley-Watkins Eagles
last Tuesday night, Feb. 5. The
Eagles jumped out to a quick
8-0 lead to start the game.
The Cubs answered, and with
4:50 remaining in the half, they
trailed by a 17-12 score. EV-W led
at the half 19-16.
In the second half, the Cubs
shot the ball much better from the
field (10/16). With just under seven
minutes to play, Kimball held a
4-point lead at 31-27. The score
remained close and with under
20 seconds to play, the Eagles tied
the score at 40 all. Cameron Hunt
was fouled on the ensuing pos-
session and made one of two free-
throws to give the Cubs the lead.
A desperation shot at the buzzer
by the Eagles was off as the Cubs
claimed the 41-40 victory.
Cameron Hunt led the scor-
ing attack with 11 points. Pres-
ton Peglow and Jarred Merchant
added 9 and 8, respectively. Hunt
and Peglow each had two steals.
Austin Roerick led the rebounding
effort with seven. Cameron Hunt
handed out five assists. The Cubs
moved to 4-4 in conference play
and 10-8 overall.
Huskers sweep Cubs in
Conference play
Kimball traveled to Holding-
ford last Friday, Feb. 8, to take on
the Huskers. The Cubs started out
slowly, once again, trailing 6-0
early in the contest. Poor shoot-
ing from the field and the free-
throw line continued to plague the
Cubs. Kimball was 3/12 (25 per-
cent) from the field and 13/24 (54
percent) from the free-throw line
in the first half. The Cubs trailed
by 10 at the break, 29-19.
With a renewed energy in the
second half, the Cubs worked
themselves back into the game.
They trailed by only three (43-46)
with 3:33 to play. Mathias Hen-
nen's three-point shot cut the
Husker lead to one with 3.4 sec-
onds remaining. Kimball stole the
inbounds pass, but was unable
to get a shot off before the buzzer
sounded. Holdingford defeated
the Cubs 56-55, and swept them in
conference play this season.
Jarred Merchant led the Cubs in
scoring with 15 points. Joey Von-
Wahlde and Cameron Hunt each
chipped in with nine. Hunt also
added four assists and five steals.
Austin Roerick hauled down eight
rebounds. The loss put the Cubs at
10-9 on the season.
