Clear Lake 55 – Clear Brook 43
January 20, 2006
Cleqr Lake got back on track in the next to last game of the first round of district play tonight with a win over Clear Brook in the Brook gymnasium. In the first quarter Clear Lake came out slowly and spotted the Clear Brook Wolverines 7 points before they got on the scoreboard when Justin Kurtz hit a free throw to make it 7-1 with 3 ½ minutes gone in the first quarter. At the 2:45 mark, Jimmy Witten, posted up in the free throw circle with his back to the basket, faked left, then right, then spun to his left and drove to the hoop to score Lake’s first field goal to make it 8-3. A basket by Jon Gilmer made it 8-5. Then a basket from quick-spinning Andy Leveque on an inbound pass from Armie Lewis made it 10-7. With 22.9 seconds remaining in the quarter, Jon Gilmer went down with an injured knee under Clear Brook’s basket. This is the same knee on which surgery had been performed last April. Here’s hoping that Jon will be back very soon. With 10 seconds left in the period, a quick trip down the court by Andy and a pass to Armie on the right wing gave Armie one of only two threes Clear Lake would score in the game. At the end of the quarter the Falcons went 4 of 12 from the field and trailed 12-10.
Clear Lake scored one basket in the first three minutes of the second quarter to make it 18-12. A second successive basket by Armie made it 18-14 (4:24 remaining) before two free throws by Jimmy made it 18-16. A jump shot by RJ Turner made it 22-18. Impressive effort by Ross Maha in the second quarter on both ends of the court helped Lake continue to narrow the lead. The second, and final, three point shot in the game for Lake came when Justin hit his only three to bring it to a one point game, 22-21. With 42 seconds remaining in the half, Armie Lewis tied the game for the first time when his first-of-two free throws knotted it at 22. Lake went ahead when he sank the second free throw. Two free throws by Brook closed out the half at 24-23. The foul count was 9 and 8.
At 5:05 in the third quarter Kendrell Thompson tied the game at 28 with a basket and a free throw. At 4:40 left in the period, alert play by Armie spotted Kendrell under the basket for another two points to put Lake ahead 28-30. Lake would not relinquish the lead again. Another basket by Kendrell resulted when he made a quick spin to the hoop, scored and was fouled. The free throw brought it to 28-33. After Clear Brook hit a trey from the corner to bring them to a two point deficit, 31-33, heads up play by Justin allowed a bullet pass in to Kendrell who was fouled going up. His free throw made it 31-34. This made six successive scores in the quarter by Kendrell. The next score came when RJ fired the ball in to Andy under the left side of the basket. With great body control and despite being shoved away from the hoop, Leveque made the bucket to bring the score to 31-36 with 1:36 remaining in the quarter. At the one minute mark remaining Lake went into their stall offense. Andy sensed an opening and drove through a quickly collapsing lane to score (33-38). Brook was called for traveling on their inbound pass and the Falcons regained possession. More superb play by Andy when he passed the ball in to Fulton Brisco for a basket with six seconds remaining. The quarter closed at 33-40, Lake up by 7.
Early in the fourth quarter with Justin, Kendrell, and RJ on the bench, Clear Lake outplayed Clear Brook (an encouraging and positive sign). With 4:30 remaining in the game the score was 37-43 when Fulton hit a free throw. Ross got his second blocked shot with 3:57 remaining after Fulton made a basket from under the left side of the goal (37-45). A steal by Ross and two free throws by Kendrell put Lake up by 10, 37-47. Lake went ahead by their widest margin, 38-51, after baskets by Jimmy and Kendrell. With 42 seconds remaining it went to 40-53 when Ross scored on an assist by Kendrell. Final score was 43-55 when Armie made two free throws.
Despite a slow start to make it a more interesting game, overall a good win for Clear Lake. This game was characterized by balanced scoring; outstanding play off the bench from Andy, Ross, and Fulton; solid rebounding from Jimmy (11 rebounds); good, aggressive team ball; good judgment in shot selection; good ball handling overall with several alert, sharp passes; good free throw shooting (13 of 18).
Previously Alvin beat Clear Lake, then Clear Brook beat Alvin, then tonight Lake beats Brook. Go figure. For results of other district games, go to the DISTRICT STANDINGS PAGE.
Note: the Saturday Houston Chronicle line scores are incorrect for the Alvin - Galveston ball game. The game shown is the girls linescore.
Individual Scoring:
Armie Lewis 13, Kendrell Thompson 13
Jimmy Witten 6 (11 rebounds), Andy Leveque 6, Fulton Brisco 5 (5 rebounds, 1 blocked shot), Justin Kurtz 4, RJ Turner 4, Ross Maha 2 (5 rebounds, 2 blocked shots), Jon Gilmer 2
