A fourth quarter comeback attempt by the host Christopher Bearcats fell short Friday night.
Christopher hosted high-flying Goreville in a Black Diamond Conference game. The Goreville Blackcats were not intimidated by their surroundings in the orange clad gymnasium. They set the tone of the game by jumping out to a 13-5 first quarter lead. The half time advantage for Todd Tripp’s team was up 23-16. Five more points were tacked onto the lead after three quarters. But, in the fourth frame, Christopher outscored the Goreville squad 18-14. But, the mini-comeback fell short.
Scoring for the Bearcats: Mercks 17, Kuh 11, Young 10, atchison 8, Towers 3.
Dayton Tripp led the visitors with 20 points including 12 off three-point shots.
