Bulldogs Persevere and win at Harrison 58-53




West Lafayette, Indiana. The Brownsburg Boys’ Basketball team defeated Hoosier Crossroads Conference foe Harrison High School last night 58-53. The Raiders threw the first punch scoring the first three baskets, but the Bulldogs battled back and attacked the basket and shot 6-6 from the free-throw line, while Scott Hathaway hit two pull up jumpers to help the Dogs stay within six 10-16. The Dogs kicked in the offense in the second period. Six different players scored. Chase Dutra drove home a break away lay-up; Kurtis Runyon scored a put-back; Tyler Whetstone hit a jumper; Torrey Nibbs knocked down a step-back three; Kirk Weathers nailed a three ball and a 17 footer, and Scott Hathaway finished a high-low play from T. Whet. to give the Dogs a 26-25 lead at the half. The Raiders started hot again in the third quarter hitting three straight threes, but once again the Bulldogs responded. Chase Dutra’s hustle plays kept the ball out of the post and lead to fast break points as he anchored the Dog’s zone defense. Torrey Nibbs diced up the Raiders defense for five third quarter points, and Kurtis Runyon scored six as he connected on a three at the buzzer. Every possession was pivotal in this game, especially in the fourth quarter. Taylor Shields gathered a loose ball deflected by Scott Hathaway and drove to the hole for a duce that gave the Dogs a three point lead. Kurtis Runyon scored in the painted on a patented post move from a Dutra assist. Tyler Whetstone rained in a three pointer over a 6’7 defender from another Chase Dutra drive and kick. Then Dutra slashed to the basket for a score on the interior of the Raider’s defense. And Torrey Nibbs went 9-9 from the free throw line including four straight to conclude the game and seal the deal for the Dogs.
