Boys get a split; last second jumper lifts Mt. Healthy to win while Fugate's record breaking perform
January 19, 2009 By Kieron Boyle of Edgewood High School
A jumper with 5.5 seconds left lifted the visiting Mt. Healthy Owls to the FAVC League victory, 56-55. Xavier Fugate led all scorers with 22 points. The Cougars saw a lead slip away due to turnovers and missed opportunities.
The Cougars bounced back in a big way by throttling visiting Eaton, 55 - 35. The Cougars were paced by the solid play of Xavier Fugate, Kody McCall, and Brennan Kelly. Xavier became the all-time points scored leader for Edgewood boys basketball in the third quarter of the game on a free-throw (check out the video section of boys basketball to see the shot!).
The Cougars stand at 8-4 overall, 3-2 in the FAVC. The Cougars host FAVC foe Northwest next Friday. |
