Clear Lake Falconhoops

Our Clear Lake Falcons were obviously well prepared as they faced the taller College Park team with confidence and poise. The Lake squad was not intimidated by the height of the Cavaliers 6'11" post man, sophomore Sam Ryan. Clear Lake showed patience early on and lots of hustle throughout the game against the young College Park bunch (the Cavs started only one senior). 

Clear Lake's outside shooting was on target as they hit 50% from three point range (6 of 12) and 12 of 16 from the free throw line. Jay Williams, Nick Arrington (14 points, 5 of 6 free throws), and Mark McCollum all had outstanding games. Depth off the bench and scoring across the squad were again the hallmark of the blossuming Lake team. Turnovers, due largely to casual passing, were again too high (19). After a tie at 6 with 2:50 off the clock, Lake led after the first three minutes of the contest and never trailed. College Park pulled to within 4 at the beginning of the fourth quarter before Lake widen the margin to as much as 10 points twice before the game ended.

Since the Cavs expedited the elimination of Clear Lake from competition in the UT Team Camp in June, perhaps tonight's victory was just  little bit sweeter.
