Crofton boys dropped a pair of games in the Wynot Holiday tournament held late last week.
During the first round game on Thursday, Dec. 29, the Warriors (1-8) took the early lead against West Point-Beemer (3-4) after the first quarter, 9-8, and were down by only two points at the half. But West Point used a 15 point third quarter to take a commanding lead. Crofton evened things out in the fourth, but it wasn't quite enough, taking the loss 46-38 .
Leading the way for the Warriors was Braxton Foxhoven with 16 points, followed by Simon McFarland with 10. Zac Arens had 6 for Crofton, followed by Jace Foxhoven with 4 and Jace Panning with 2.
In the consolation game the following night, Friday, Dec. 30, the Warriors took on highly ranked Humphrey St. Francis.
Again, they jumped out to a first quarter lead, 7-6. But the Flyers dropped in 26 points to Crofton's 15 in the second to take the 32-22 lead into halftime. The Warriors were outgunned in the final two quarters, taking the loss 52-39. McFarland led the way with 14 points for the Warriors, with Braxton Foxhoven dropping in 11. Arens and Panning both had 6 points each, and Jace Foxhoven had 2.
Braxton Foxhoven plays some tough defense at the Crofton vs. Humphrey St. Francis consolation game at the Wynot Holiday tournament last Friday, Dec. 30.
