The Chanticleer Boys played their last game of the winter break at GICC on Thursday Night. The Crusaders came in as the #6 ranked team in C-2. The start of the 1st quarter featured both teams playing well but a quick 7-0 run by GICC created some separation between the teams. Then GICC would get hot from beyond the arc and grow their lead to 18 before the half. “We had some opportunities in the 1st quarter and we did not take advantage of those to keep us within striking distance” Coach Gates would say after the game. In the 2nd half, the distance between the teams would not change till the Crusaders pulled away for a 72-44 victory. Landon Critel led the Chants with twelve points. Will Lange added ten points for the Chants. Colton Thompson added seven rebounds in the loss. The Chants will start a busy week traveling to the top ten Cozad before hosting Gibbon on Friday Night.
