Riverside at Audubon
Audubon 58
Riverside 43
Audubon had a close game against Riverside late in Tuesday night’s game, where the Bulldogs came within 10 points of tying the Wheelers, but ultimately Audubon pulled away with the victory.
Audubon got out to an explosive start as Carson Bauer and Collin Bauer both drained three pointers, Carson grabbing two of them. Combined those three three-pointers along with strong performances from Jackson Deist with four points, and the Wheelers got up big at 19-8 going into the second quarter. Riverside had a better quarter against Audubon in the second, but the Wheelers still brought the heat. Carson and Collin Bauer were once again electric from behind the arc with Collin draining two three-pointers and Carson adding another one to his stat line. Audubon’s performance in the second quarter gave them the 35-18 lead at halftime.
The second half of play was a little rough for the Wheelers as the Bulldogs switched from a man-to-man look to a zone defense that pressured Audubon at the half-court line and forced turnovers. Riverside was able to win the low-scoring third quarter by a score of 8-7, but Audubon still held the lead at 42-26. Carson Bauer led the team in that quarter with three points, all coming from free throws. Riverside got on a lengthy scoring run to start the fourth quarter, and eventually cut down the Audubon lead to 50-40 late in the quarter. The Wheelers started to come alive thanks to Collin Bauer going four for six from the free throw line in that quarter, and Gavin Smith putting up five points. That late quarter push from Audubon was enough to keep them ahead and nab them the 58-43 win over Riverside.
Individually for the Wheelers, Collin Bauer ended the game with a team high 17 points, Carson Bauer wasn’t too far behind with 16 points, and Gavin Smith netted 13 points in total. The Wheelers improved to 2-3 overall on the season and will be in action next on Thursday, December 16th when they take on Boyer Valley on the road.
