Bloomfield Mid-School Splits with Bernie
October 30th 2012 by Staff Writer
The 8th grade Wildcats had an offensive machine with Tim and Jacob Hector, who combined for a total of 37 of the 62 points on the night. Tim Hector was the leading scorer for Bloomfield with 23 points and Jacob Hector followed with 14 points.
The Wildcats jumped out to a quick first quarter lead of 24 to 6. The quick moving unselfish offense for the Wildcats was just too much for the Bernie 8th grade team. The Wildcats pumped in an additional 17-points in the 2nd quarter, making the half time score 41 to 15.
Bloomfield pulled their starting lineup early in the 2nd half allowing the entire team to get some game experience. The Mules were able to rally in the 2nd half outscoring the Wildcats 29 to 21.
Gage Stogsdale and Alex Gibbs each had 6-points in the contest. Brad Massingill followed with 4-points, Kyle Anderson had 3-points and Joey Clary, Austin Phillips and Dallas Monroe had two-points each.
In the 7th grade game, the story was reversed as the Bernie Mules continued their undefeated season with a powerful full court press. The Mules are exceptionally quick and created a number of turnovers in the backcourt against the Wildcats. The Mules quickly exchanged these turnovers for points to jump out to a 1st quarter 18 to 2 lead. Bloomfield made a run in the 2nd quarter, outscoring the Mules 10 to 8 and again in the 3rd quarter 13 to 9. But the Mules jumped back into the full court pressure and walked away with the fourth quarter 17 to 7. The Mules defeated the Wildcats by 20 points (52 to 32) but it was actually a better game than the score shows.
Bloomfield will host the Dexter Bearcats middle school teams this Thursday, November 1st. This should prove to be an excellent contest as both teams are evenly matched this season.
