After dropping their first game in Monday’s opening round of the NCTC Holiday Classic, the Gainesville junior varsity responded well, winning on the second day in the consolation bracket and then finished it off with a victory Wednesday.

The Leopards rebounded well after a poor first quarter to take a 52-49 win over Forestburg to take home the consolation championship.

Trailing 12-5 after the first quarter, the Leopards JV poured in 22 second-quarter points to take a 27-26 lead heading into halftime.

Gainesville outscored the Longhorns 25-23 in the second half to hold on for the win.

Justin Dudenhoeffer led Gainesville’s scoring with 15 points, including 11 of those in the second quarter. Also contributing for the Leopards were D.J. Harris and Alejandro Canes, who each finished with 8 points, Chance Sikes added 6, Bryant Allred and Brandon Hunt each chipped in 5 and Calvin Calhoun, Tyler Thomas and Connor Markle each added 2.

Howe trumps Knights to advance to title game

The Howe Bulldogs will play Callisburg in today’s boys championship game of the Classic after knocking off Lindsay Wednesday night 62-53.

Howe contained Lindsay senior post Colton Hermes, who had 40 points in Lindsay’s opening round win on Monday, by holding him to just 2 field goals and 11 points. Hermes had three first-half fouls, making him unavailable for most of the first and second quarters.

Meanwhile, Howe used free throws and a couple of key 3-point shots down the stretch to put away the Knights.

Howe only shot 50 percent from the free throw line in the fourth quarter, but attempted 20 free throws to Lindsay’s 8.

The Bulldogs were led by Kenny Herbert’s 15 points followed by Matt Dowlen with 14 points.

Howe led just 8-7 after the first quarter and took a 20-15 lead at halftime. Howe used a 26-point fourth quarter to Lindsay’s 21 points to put the game away for good.

Others scoring for Howe were Bronco Wildman with 9 points, Chase Fountaine with 8, Jordan Gray and Casey Davis each finished with 5 and Dalton Harris, Alex Torres and Kegan Duncan each added 2.

For the Knights, Thomas Rhomer led the way with 13 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter. Ross Jones finished the night with 9 points, Ryan Haverkamp had 7, Dax Fleitman added 6, Frankie Cornett scored 3 and Justin Anderle and Madison Parkhill each added 2.

The Knights take on Sacred Heart in the third place game today at noon.

The Collinsville Pirates eked out a victory over S&S; in the seventh-place game Wednesday afternoon by the score of 60-50.

Collinsville led 19-8 after the first quarter and 37-14 at halftime, but S&S; rallied in the second half, outscoring the Pirates 36-22, but the first-half deficit was too deep to overcome for the Rams.

Leading the way for the Pirates were Cory Ragsdale with 19 points, Tyler Ford with 14 and Spencer McKnight with 12. Chase Medler scored 7 points, Kyle Belz added 6 and David Byrom chipped in 2.

S&S; 8 6 19 17 — 50
