Bulldogs lose nail-biter to Bells, rebound to open district with win The Howe Bulldogs (4-4, 1-0) took on Bells Tuesday night in the city of the Panther. Howe started very slow and never were able to gain much momentum through the first half. Missed layups became the story of the game as Howe had many chances to build a base of points, but missed opportunities changed what could have been a ten point win, to a two point loss.
No other Bulldog was in doubledigits in points for the night, however, Winston Mosse had nine.
Howe trailed, 19-12 after the first quarter thanks to a fast-paced Panther offense that had the Bulldogs unable to convert short jumpers on the press. Howe's center Clay Marshall landed two quick fouls in the first quarter to change the approach Head Coach Eric Johns was intending.
The Bulldogs will not play again until after Christmas in the NCTC Tournament on Dec. 2-30.
On Friday night, Howe opened district play on the road at Lone Oak. Harvey led Howe to the 6359 win with his 23 points. Freshman Noah Campbell contributed 15, while Devin Porter tacked on 10.
The second quarter was much like the first as Howe trailed, 36-28 at the half. In the third quarter, Howe started to slow the game down and started to hit some easy layups. Ty Harvey led Howe with 26 points and his efforts helped lead Howe to tie the game at 44-44 with 2:30 left in the third, and eventually take the lead, 46-44 with1:39 left in the quarter. But in the fourth quarter, down 6159 with two seconds remaining, Howe's James Cowin caught an inbounds with an easy layup, but the ball went off the glass and Bells held on to the victory.
