Cougars Ground Skyhawks

“Fly By”…Coronado’s Christian Chavez pump fakes a skyhawk defender then scores.
The Coronado Cougars were looking to come right back with a win over Silverado, after Monday’s tough loss at Foothill. The Cougars jumped out to an 10 point halftime lead 40-30 and pushed the lead to as many as 18 in the second half. Although Coronado was always in control, the game got down to 5 points at the end of the fourth quarter. “I think our kids were a little tired. Foothill was an up and down game at a furious pace and tonight I could see they (the players) were pacing themselves,” said Coach Berg. On a side note, it took a lot out of Foothill as well, as they lost to Liberty 78-73.
Austin Nelson led Coronado with huge numbers including 19 points, 10 assists, 8 rebounds and 9 steals. Adam Schmitt poured in 17 points to go with 9 rebounds and Brandon Glanz had 13 points and 17 rebounds.
The Cougars will practice tomorrow and be back on the court Friday at Del Sol.
JV
The JV Team dominated Silverado from the opening tip building a lead of 28-6 at the end of the 1st quarter. Silverado never recovered and the JV went on to cruise to Victory. Conner McCubbin, Carl Chapman, David Ferris and Cain Brady all had outstanding games.
B-Team
The B-Team had a showdown with their division rivals. Silverado like Coronado only had one division loss. Make that two after tonight as the scrappy Coronado Freshman held on to win 40-38 running their division record to 10-1.
