The Canton JV Bears Boys Basketball team started their season this past Saturday as they traveled to Westhill High School in Syracuse. The talented Westhill team was too much for the Bears as they won by a decisive 65-42 score. The Bears did have some bright spots including solid defense in quarters two and four. Scoring came from Owen Matthews with 11 points (all in the second half), Parker Hurlbut with 10, eighth grader Parker Ames with six, Dan Richardson and Will Andes with six and a three-pointer from Hayden Towle.
On Monday the boys were immediately back in action as they hosted Harrisville in a non-conference match-up. The Bears opened the scoring quickly generating 20 first quarter points with scoring from five different players. The first half score was 37-21. The Bears went on to win the game by a score of 63-30 with scoring from 11 different players.
Leading the way was Ciaran O’Brian with 14 points on five of five shooting. Will Andes also found the mark draining three three-pointers in the game contributing 11 points and Parker Ames rounded out the top scorers with nine.
The Bears are back in action tonight as they travel to Norwood. Game time is 5:30.
