CHS goes to 3-3 with win over Bulldogs

DUNCAN — The Comanche Indian’s rebuilding project seems to be well ahead of schedule.

After starting the season with three straight losses, the Indians continued to bounce back Tuesday, rolling past Healdton, 56-39 for their third straight win.

“I think it was the best effort of the year so far,” Comanche coach Nick Price said. “Offensively we had a lot more movement, and that’s something we have been talking about.”

Freshman Braden Ledford led Comanche (3-3) with 16 points, while junior Dalton Wood had 11 and senior Garrett Morrow added 10. Senior Zach Young finished with seven points, junior Jerron Sanders had six, freshman Mason Taylor had four and senior Grant Jones chipped in with two points.

The Indians, who had beaten Healdton by only four points in a game last week, wasted no time in asserting their dominance, jumping out to a 23-9 lead in the first quarter, which stretched to 35-19 by halftime.

“(The early lead) had everything to do with defensive pressure,” Price said. “We put a lot of defensive pressure on them and we got some easy baskets as a result.”

VELMA-ALMA 63 WILSON 42

While most teams might panic following a loss, Velma-Alma showed it isn’t like most teams.

Playing its first contest since an overtime defeat to Amber-Pocasset, the Comets came out swinging and rebounded with a sound 63-42 victory over Wilson.

“We had anticipated a tough game, but our kids were ready,” V-A coach Kenny Bare said. “Zac Cable was extremely hot for us and hit six three pointers. Our guys came out and gave one of their best defensive efforts of the season.”

At the half it was 33-15 in favor of the Comets, as the Eagles struggled to gain a foot hold in the contest, which included a 15-3 first quarter for V-A.

Leading the scoring for the Comets (5-1) was Cable, who finished with 21 points. Senior Dallen Mercer collected 12 points, while Jaz Gayanich scored nine points.

GIRLS

VELMA-ALMA 67 WILSON 29

Sometimes the best way to get your confidence back, is to have a balanced scoring attack.

That’s exactly what the Velma-Alma Lady Comets got Tuesday night as three players scored in double figures to help break a two game losing streak and give V-A a 67-29 win.

“We had a lot of people scoring, which was good for our confidence,” V-A coach Jerry Garrett said. “This was a total team effort and we did a bunch of things right against Wilson.”

Wilson only managed double digit points in the third quarter, as the Lady Comets held a 36-8 lead at halftime, before making it 48-20 at the end of the third.

Leading the scoring for the Lady Comets (3-3) was Samantha Moore with 18 points followed by Teddi Southerland and Kylee Saville who each scored 13 points.

HEALDTON 61 COMANCHE 38

Comanche will be glad to not see Healdton on the schedule anymore this season.

For the second time in less than five days, the Healdton Lady Bulldogs got another victory over the Lady Indians (1-4), this time by a 61-38 margin.

Healdton claimed a 55-41 win over CHS in the consolation championship of the Bullet Energy Comet Classic last Saturday in Velma.

Despite being even after one quarter at 12-12, the Lady Bulldogs pulled away with a 14-5 run in the second, giving them a 26-17 lead going into halftime, before extending the lead to 46-27 going into the third quarter.
