Area Roundup
From staff reports
A foul performance at the foul line in the latter stages of Monday’s nonconference varsity boys basketball left host Community Christian on the short end of a 54-53 loss in double overtime to Sanford Grace Christian.
The Cyclones made just 16 of their 37 free-throw attempts, misfiring on 18 trips to the line over the final four minutes of regulation time and through both extra periods in Williamson Gym on the ENCSD campus. Neither CCS nor Grace Christian scored in the first OT session and the Cyclones, who led 30-19 at halftime, managed just two points in the second one.
Michael Haney had a season-high 19 points before fouling out to lead CCS now 5-13.
“He has put together four great games in a row and three were against really good teams,” Cyclones head coach Ronnie Wells said.
Davis Stone, Rieshod Baines and Cameron Williams each had eight points while Stone snared nine rebounds and Baines made four steals.
Nate Holt’s 22 points paced the Crusaders.
CCS concludes its regular season in Williamson Gym on Thursday with a nonconference matchup against Kerr-Vance Academy.
