The boys were back in action Friday night at Kate Shelley Fieldhouse. The Toreadors were very desperate for a win as was Ballard. Boone came in on a three game skid, the roster was not full Freshman Jonathan Herrick had to step up and suit for the varsity. The Boone boys have not beaten the Bombers since they joined the Raccoon River Conference. The Toreadors needed a win if they wanted to compete in the conference race.
The Toreadors and Bombers exchanged blows throughout the first half, it was a defensive battle. The game was played in Boone’s favor all night long. A halftime score or 16-17, is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Senior Jacob Johnson had a great game with 17 points he hit some big threes and kept the Dors rollin’ in the second half. Ashton Clemons cleaned up the boards as he has done all year long. His contributions to the team could not be replaced. His 9 points 11 rebounds were huge. Boone prevailed late when Junior, Kolby Jenson missed 2 free throws with seconds in the balance. The Toreadors beat Ballard 45 to 43, and the streak was finally broken.
