Cougars Roar in Fourth Quarter Comeback!
5 Feb
Summary
- NHCA boys basketball team scored 30 points in the fourth quarter.
- Strong defense held opponents to 27 points through three quarters.
- Adam Stanton's early fourth quarter three-pointer ignited the offense.
New Heights Christian Academy's boys basketball team secured a commanding 61-32 victory over Lighthouse Christian in the opening round of the Mercy/Warrior Classic. The Cougars, holding an 8-point lead entering the final quarter, unleashed an offensive barrage, nearly tallying 30 points in that period alone after a combined 35 through the first three.
Key to the turnaround was a defensive adjustment that stifled the Chargers, limiting them to just 27 points through three quarters. Adam Stanton's baseline jumper at the end of the third quarter and his subsequent three-pointer to start the fourth provided the offensive spark. This ignited a 15-1 run for NHCA, establishing a dominant lead.
