The Mountain Home High School boys’ basketball team’s last game before the Thanksgiving holiday ended on a rough note as they met Greene County Tech in Paragould. Matt Sharp has the details.
Listen:
The Bombers ended up falling to the Golden Eagles 76-61. The opening quarter was a back-and-forth affair with 10 lead changes and three ties. Tech pulled away a little in the second period as offensive rebounds and second-chance opportunities proved to be helpful. The Golden Eagles pulled further away as they exploded for 20 third quarter points, and Mountain Home went on a little drought in the period. The Bombers cut the margin back to five in the final period, but they would get no closer as Tech pulled back away to get the 15-point win.
Jackson Corp led Mountain Home with 30 points, Rhett Gilbert scored 12, and Blaine Tate added 11. Noah Oswalt had 25 points for the Golden Eagles, Carson McDaniel recorded 15, and Landon Morton chipped in 14.
Tech improves to 5-2 on the season. The Bombers fall to 2-3, and they’ll meet Highland Dec. 5 in the Billy Ply Memorial Tournament at Flippin.
