Clear Lake Falconhoops

 Game 3: Clear Lake 57 - Willowridge 43

In what could be regarded as one of their less impressive showings in this young season, the Clear Lake Falcons prevailed over a scrappy bunch in the Willowridge Eagles. Very impressive defense from our Lake boys was at times matched by Willowridge as they held Lake to only 57 points. Only 57 points! 57 points is a lot to score in a high school game but with Lake averaging 74.5 in their two previous outings some fans expected more from the Falcons. After the opening minutes Lake led throughout the game but the margin was not always comfortable as Willowridge closed the gap in the fourth quarter.

Both teams were led by outstanding coaches who had to be disappointed by their team's free throw shooting (Lake went 22 of 38 from the line). 57.9% free throw shooting will not win close ball games.

Will West led his team with 22 points (12 from free throws) while Drake Green contributed 17 and Bradley George scored 13.  

Next week the Falcons face their toughest opponents so far this season in 4A state ranked Fort Bend Marshall in their house. Against Willowridge several Lake players did not play well but expect a better showing next week. The team that makes the most free throws will win this game.
