Thanks to four threepointers from three different players, Howe racked up the points while playing stingy defense. Michael Kehrer hit two early three-pointers to add to one each by Levi Mrozinski and Sam Akins. Pilot Point fought back in the second period and trailed only by three the half, down 30-27. Howe held a six point lead after three, 44-38 before finishing out the win, 69-59. The win puts Howe at 20-10 on the season and 8-5 in District 103A. This following a season with only nine wins a year ago. The Bulldogs will finish out the regular season in Gunter on Tuesday night. If the Bulldogs take care
of business in Gunter, they will be the third seed in the playoffs. However, should Gunter win and Pottsboro win, there could be a playoff game between Howe and Pottsboro to determine seed. Kehrer led all scorers in the game with 26 points. Morozinski followed right behind him with 20 of his own. Nick Wilson added ine while Sam Akins added eight. Griffin Underwood rounded out the scoring with five points.
JV Boys undefeated in tourney
Kehrer finished the game with four three-pointers, while Mrozinski finished with three of them. Akins knocked down two three-pointers, Wilson and Underwood each had one. Howe's game Tuesday night will be in Gunter. The Tigers are 2-10 in District 10-3A and have been eliminated for post-season play.
