Game 3 Lake at Fort Bend Marshall
Game 2 - Dobie at Lake
The Falcons defeated the Dobie Longhorns 66-54 in a hard fought battle Saturday afternoon. With only one game under their belt, the Falcons faced a formidable opponent with a 6-1 record. It was a close game the entire time. Despite lopsided foul calls in the first half (10-3), Lake was able to maintain the lead throughout the first half after jumping out to an early lead. By the way, Dobie went almost 10 minutes of play without a foul being called on them.
Late in the game the lead bounced back and forth with Lake holding on by a narrow margin most of the time. Lake's superior team play and excellent outside shooting supplemented by 6'4" freshman Jeremiah Maldonado having a good day down low made it a fun game to watch.
Speaking of excellent outside shooting - I believe over 2/3 of the Lake squad hit 3 pointers in the contest but I will have to check my facts on that one.
Game 1 - at Houston Lamar
Nov 17, Game 1 - In the season opener Clear Lake was defeated by host Houston Lamar (68-60) in a closely fought battle. Always strong in basketball, Lamar is considered one of the strongest teams in District 20 this season and has two very good D1 post players and a very well rounded team. Lake played very well against a noticeably formidable opponent. Clear Lake shot 9 of 24 from beyond the arc and 7 of 9 (77.8%) from the free throw line. Only two Lake players shot free throws in the game.
