WROY/WRUL Local Sports Recap
The Carmi-White County Boys Basketball team went 2-0 over the weekend, defeating Grayville on Friday and Eldorado on Saturday.
Friday’s win was a grind for the Bulldogs, they fell behind by 13 early in the 2nd quarter, but then history was made which sparked a comeback. Mitchel Edwards hit a three-pointer to cut the Grayville lead to 10, and with that three-point basket, Edwards became the all-time leading scorer in CWCHS Boys Basketball History.
The Bulldogs trailed by 10 at halftime, but they would outscore Grayville 49-30 in the 2nd half , thanks in part to 41 points from Edwards, to come away with a 73-64 win.
Along with his historic night, Edwards is just the 2nd Bulldog to ever score 40 points in a game twice.
Carmi then turned around on Saturday to host Eldorado, and Carmi led from tip-off until the final buzzer, defeating the Eagles 65-40.
The Bulldogs have now won two in a row after a 5-game losing streak, their record now sits at 9-12. Head Coach Kevin Wolff thinks this weekend could be the spark his team needed heading into the final month of the regular season.
