Carroll at Gilbert
Carroll 54
Gilbert 51
In a blockbuster game filled with lengthy scoring runs and a close final score, the Carroll Tigers were able to squeeze their way past the Gilbert Tigers on Friday night.
A lot of things went Gilbert’s way in the first quarter as they found themselves up 13-4 midway through the quarter. But Carroll managed to go on a 5-1 run in the final two minutes to cut down that lead to 14-9 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was close for both teams as Gilbert managed to outperform Carroll by one point at 9-8. Carroll’s Nick Macke led the team in the half with six points as the Carroll Tigers got down 23-17 at halftime.
The start to the second half wasn’t kind to Carroll as they got down by 11 points midway through the third quarter. But, just like the first quarter, they mounted a strong 7-0 run that cut down the Gilbert lead again to 36-32 going into the fourth quarter. Macke still led the team at that point with 13 points and Carroll was still looking to take their first lead of the game. That lead came early in the fourth quarter as Carroll took off for a 12-0 run with Tanner Gotto giving Carroll their first lead of the entire game. The rally continued all throughout the fourth quarter until Kaleb Booth came alive and led the comeback with 25 total points in the game. The Tigers managed to escape with a 54-51 victory over Gilbert after five lead changes in the fourth quarter alone. Macke ended his day with 15 points for Carroll.
The Carroll Tigers improve to 2-0 on the season overall and 1-0 in the Raccoon River Conference. Coming up on Tuesday, December 7th, Carroll will play host to North Polk.
