Blue Eye edges Southwest

February 17, 2021
Lee Stubblefield

    Two weeks of quarantine. No practices. What would Southwest do in a tough road game at Blue Eye on Tuesday? The Trojans almost won, dropping a 60-58 heartbreaker after leading throughout the contest. Southwest’s outside shooting belied the long layoff, hitting 10 bombs in the game.
    Rusty Roe’s team came out on fire, dropping 22 points in the first quarter to take a 10-point lead at the first break. Six Southwest shooters scored in that first frame, led by Zak Starr with 8.
    But Blue Eye fought back in the second quarter. Isaiah Mitchell poured in 13 points as the Bulldogs trimmed the lead to 31-29 at the half.
    The two teams played a dead even 17-17 third quarter, and then the Blue Eye bombers took over. The Bulldogs scored 14 points in the final stanza. Four treys and a pair of free throws propelled the home team to the 60-58 win. Ryan Cardenzana pumped in three long jumpers - his only points of the night - in that final quarter.
    Southwest slipped to 9-11 with the loss. Blue Eye improved to 12-9.
Blue Eye scorers: Isaiah Mitchell, 27; Lance Clark, 21; Ryan Cardenzana, 9; Lucas Estes, 3.
Southwest scorers: Cruz Marquez, 14; Zak Corwin, 14; Zak Starr, 13; Caden Uthe, 10; Brendyn Paulsen, 5; Lucas Paulsen, 2.
