SHS 9A v Bridgeland – 11/16/21

The Freshman A team for the 2021-2022 include the following boys:

Joaquin Andrews, Jadarrion Cheeves, Vasili Fakaris, Logan Hatcher, Elliot Harlan, Rockwell Henderson, Richard Jackson, Parker Johnson, Kolton Kurek, Jake Lovoi, Devin Moore and Jaedon Morris.

The Freshman A team beat the Bridgeland Bears in their first home game of season.  After a tough loss to Cinco Ranch the previous Friday, the boys came out aggressive in the first half of the game holding the Bears to just 5 points with 5 minutes in the half.  The boys played excellent defense and moved the ball well on offense and ultimately closed out the half with a score of 27-11. 

The second half started with the Bears putting on the press against the Spartan and they were able to get their offense going a bit.  Though the lead never felt in danger, Bridgeland did pull within 11 late in the 3rd quarter after going on a bit of a run.  However, Fakaris ended their run with a huge three and never looked back.  A number of big steals by Johnson and Cheeves helped throw them off their game as well and the A team never look back winning the game with the final score of 55-39.
