WYANDOTTE, Okla. — The McAuley Catholic boys basketball team won the second half, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an early deficit.
Wyandotte held on late for a 56-50 win over McAuley on Thursday night.
Wyandotte led 30-22 at halftime. McAuley outscored the Bears 28-26 after the break, but it wasn’t quite enough.
“I’m proud of our guys tonight,” McAuley coach Tony Witt said. “We got better as the game went on. We allowed a few too many transition baskets in the first quarter, but they adjusted and played three solid quarters. We just ran out of time.”
Noah Black scored 15 points for McAuley (2-8).
Bryce Pogue led Wyandotte with 19 points, while Jaret Burney had 16 and Atticus Douthit added 13.
McAuley hosts Lockwood at 3 on Saturday.
