A 29-point second quarter proved to be the dagger in the side of visiting Crowley County’s bid for an upset over the Fowler High School girls’ basketball game Friday evening to commemorate the Annual Pumpkin Game. This content is for Print in county – Includes Online Access (1...

It wasn’t for lack of effort that the Fowler High School boys’ basketball team failed, just as those before them, to topple unbeaten Crowley County Friday evening at Fowler High School. The Grizzlies battled to an opening quarter, 8-8, tie but ultimately couldn’t keep pace the state second ranked Chargers, losing 55-26.

BOYS BASKETBALL Fowler (8-7) Fowler couldn’t have asked for a better gift on their home court Friday evening when visiting Crowley County’s top scorer was bench with foul trouble throughout the majority of the game. Charger Gunner Hughes played, maybe, five minutes the entire first half and fouled out of the game early in the fourth quarter, paving the way for a potential FHS upset. It wouldn’t come to fruition, however, as CCHS rolled to a 55-26 Pumpkin Game victory over the Grizzlies. It should be noted that the Grizzlies were without their leading scorer, Gage Gottbehuett, who, to date, leads the team with an average of 13.9 points per game.
