It was a slow offensive night but the CAM Cougars fought their way past Boyer Valley 40-32 on Friday night in Anita. Boyer Valley got within 1 to start the fourth quarter but CAM grabbed control back with a three point play from Sam Foreman and back to back corner threes from Colby Rich. That spurt put the Cougars out in front by ten at 32-22 and they hung on for the win.

The Cougars led by nine early but the Bulldogs cut it to a three point game at half on a banked in three by Caden Neilsen at the buzzer. Both teams struggled to get shots to fall but CAM Head Coach Ian Hunt said the guys did a good job sticking with it.

The Cougars did a great job making it tough for the Bulldogs to get in the lane and Coach Hunt said their defense has been great so far this year.

The Cougars are off to a 6-1 start to the season and Rich said this should give them some good momentum heading into the holiday break. He talked about knocking down those big threes in the fourth.

Rich finished with 14 points and Sam Foreman had a workmanlike 13. CAM will start the season back up on January 4th against Glidden-Ralston.
