Cowboys defeat Cadets 66-60 in overtime

The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows boys varsity basketball team had four players in double figures last Friday in a 66-60 victory over Iowa Falls-Alden on the Cadets home floor. The Cadets led pretty much the whole way, going up 14-9 after a quarter and 32-23 at the break. They were still up 47-33 to start the final eight minutes, with the Cowboys then going to work in a furious rally to tie it at 53-53 to end regulation play.

Brendon Boyd burned up the nets for 22 points, followed by Ryan Darland with 15 points, Sam Urness with 13 points and Chase Harker with 10 points. Zach Leist’s four points and Will Weidemann’s two points rounded out the column. No other stats were available at press time.

In an earlier game, that didn’t have full stats available, the team lost to West Hancock 79-47. Urness scored 14 points and Harker 12 points. Weidemann snagged 10 rebounds, while Urness dished out three assists. Urness had two steals, with Leist getting a blocked shot.
