Broken Bow sweeps pair of games at Heavener

Broken Bow sweeps

Broken Bow sweeps a pair of basketball games at Heavener as the Wolves and Lady Wolves played their final game until Christmas break.

After Broken Bow’s girls cruised to a 70-37 win in the opener, the Savages broke through in the second half to down Heavener, 44-35, in the second contest.

For the boys, Broken Bow sophomore Graydon Howell is already getting notoriety for his play at football, but showed he is equally skilled at basketball as Howell scored 12 of the Savages’ 14 points in the third quarter as Broken Bow, which led 23-21, at halftime, increased the advantage to 37-26 after three periods.

The 10^th-ranked Class 4A Savages improve to 5-1 with the Wolves dropping to 4-2. Broken Bow’s girls are now 5-2 while the Lady Wolves are 1-5.

In addition to his big third quarter, Howell proved to be the biggest difference in the game between a pair of very athletic teams. He wound up with a game-high 21 points for the Savages, Broken Bow’s only player in double figures.

Heavener, which remained in striking distance throughout, was led by Canyon Ford and Roselio Garcia, both with 12 points. Garcia’s points all came from 3-point baskets
