Tuesday HS Basketball Scores

Plenty of action ended up getting postponed, but there were four games on the boys side, and six girls games, that did end up getting played on Tuesday involving Southwestern Kansas teams.

Two of them were decided late or in extra time. Sublette picked up just its third win of the season, a 51-48 road win in overtime over Stanton County in Johnson. The Larks (3-17) outscored the Trojans (7-13), 11-8 in the extra session to secure the win.

The other tight contest was in Hugoton, where the host Eagles held off Lakin, 64-63. Hugoton (15-4) took a 23-12 lead at the end of the first quarter, but the Broncs (16-4) roared back, outscoring the Eagles, 25-11, to hold a 37-34 lead at halftime. The game went back-and-forth from there, until the Eagles managed to grab the lead and hold on for the win.

In other boys action on Tuesday:

Southwestern Heights 53, Cimarron 48

The Mustangs held off a late charge by the Bluejays and overcame a 29-point night from Andrew Ridenour to pick up the win at home in Kismet on Tuesday.

Riednour scored 16 of the 20 fourth-quarter points for Cimarron (6-14), including hitting on 11-of-12 free throws in the final eight minutes. Southwestern Heights (8-11) managed to hold the lead throughout the game, however, using a 12-9 edge in the first quarter, and a 13-9 edge in the third to take a three-possession lead, 35-28, into the fourth quarter.

Silvestre Barnabe and Colby Louderback each scored 12 points to pace the Mustangs.

Garden City 44, Liberal 40

Luke Tolbert scored a season-high in points for the second time in three games as the Buffaloes closed out the regular season with a tough win over the Redskins at The Garden.

The game was close throughout, with Garden City (10-10) holding a 17-16 lead at the half. The Buffaloes used a 13-7 edge in third-quarter scoring to take control of the game and held on for the win.

Azavier Williams added 10 points for the Buffs, who will likely head to Hutchinson for their Sub-State opener next week.

Liberal (8-12) was paced by Braxton Hyde's 11 points, and Lee Hatcher added 10 for the Redskins.

Southwestern Heights (2-17) was led by Shelby Sutherland's six points.

The Lady Eagles overcame a sluggish start and used strong efforts in the second and fourth quarters to wrestle the win away from the Broncs.

After Lakin (10-10) took a 17-12 lead at the end of the opening eight minutes of play, Hugoton (14-5) used a 14-4 edge in the second quarter to assume a 26-21 lead at halftime. The Broncs battled back and pulled within one, 38-37, at the end of the third before the Lady Eagles pulled away with a 17-5 edge in the final stanza.
