Enteprise photo by Michelle Carney That final moment when you realize that you'll never play again for the Howe Bulldogs rarely deeply sets in with high school seniors. Its only years later that they look back and realize that it wasn't the games so much that they remember, but it's the bus rides with their teammates, the jokes in the locker room, the bond that they shared conforming from individuals to a full-scale team operation. The seniors went through that flurry of emotions on Tuesday night in Valley View in their bi-district playoff loss to Henrietta and saw the successful season end with a 19-12 record. The Bulldogs, who generally have all five starters at or near double digits in point barely had one with Sam Akins leading the team in points with 10. It wa a third quarter epic collapse that saw the Bulldogs shutout by Henrietta, 130 that turned out to be the deciding factor in the game. Howe and Henrietta were tied, 13-13 at the end of the first period. Henrietta held a one-point advantage at the half, 25-24, but the third quarter was something very few teams could pull themselves out of to
mount a monumental comeback for the ages. Howe played much better in the fourth quarter with Henrietta winning it 15-14 for a final score of 54-39. Henrietta's basic zone defense forced Howe to shoot a lot of long jumpers which the Bulldogs are normally very good shooters in tht situation. However, one bad shooting night on the wrong night can lead to doomsday for a jumpshooting team. The great thing about high school sports is that there is no time to ly around and wish for another shot. Players have already moved on to the next sport, whether that be baseball or track or both. The sting of not getting to play basketball again in the black and white is one that will not fully set in for about eight months.
