NO STOPPING THE COWBOYS

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio –

Facing just their second opponent with a losing record this season, the Chaney Cowboys (9-6)poured it on the visiting West Geauga Wolverines (0-10) in their first-round matchup, winning big 83-45.

It was going to be a tall task for the visiting Wolverines to try and pick up their first win of the season. By the end of the first quarter, the Wolverines were able to hold Chaney to just 14 points and trailed by only 7.

The Cowboys slow start would not last long however, as 6 different players would put points up in their 21-point second quarter, giving them a 41-20 lead going into the half.

With the lead firmly in hand and expanding throughout the third quarter, the question for the Cowboys became, how long will they continue to pour it on. Coach McGaughy let his players cook, keeping them prepared for another district title run.

Three different Cowboys totaled double digit points on the night, two of them coming off the bench. All but one of the Chaney Cowboys who played in last nights routing of West Geauga put points on the board.

LEADING SCORERS:

Chaney

Sharrod Taylor – 22 points

Josiah Gonzalez – 17 points

DaVinci McDowell – 14 points

West Geauga

Cam Rogal – 12 points

UP NEXT:

Chaney – Opting to play in the first round rather than take a bye, the Chaney Cowboys will advance to take on the Edgewood Warriors (4-9). While Edgewood was on a bye and did not have a playoff game this Tuesday, they were in action against Harvey, a game they lost 59-53.
