Tough shooting night, 28 turnovers plague C-M boys in loss to BGM

BROOKLYN — Carter Gibson played his best game this season, but a tough shooting night and 28 turnovers doomed the Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team on Friday.

BGM led 10-4 after one quarter and both teams scored 12 points in the second. A 22-5 third frame was more than enough for the Bears, but they also outscored C-M 19-16 in the fourth.

Jared Lewis had nine points and two rebounds, Harrison Rhone chipped in five points and five boards and Elias Hostetter registered four points, four rebounds and three assists.

Kale Wilwerding grabbed six rebounds and swiped four steals, Cael Bracewell finished with three rebounds and three steals and Brandon Kite grabbed three rebounds and dished out two assists. Kaden Dalton put in three points.
