Cougars come close

In what could be a NISD instant classic, the Clark Cougars varsity boys basketball team lost on a last second shot to the Taft Raiders in the third round of this year’s playoffs.  A low scoring game full of missed opportunities,  Taft advances to the regional tournament with a 35-33 win over Clark.

Before the game started, Clark was already behind as Taft was awarded a 2 shot technical foul which put the Cougars down 2-0.  Taft then went up 4-0 before Niko Maxwell drove to the bucket for two. A Taft three pointer as the buzzer ended the first quarter was a sign of things to come as the Raiders led 14-8.

The Cougars roared back and tied the game at 14 apiece with six minutes left before the half but could never get a lead.  Four straight offensive rebounds  by Taft at the end of the half helped them maintain a lead, going into the locker room 21-17 over Clark. (continue reading…)
