The Cottondale Hornets trailed for most of the game last Friday night in Graceville but rallied in the fourth quarter to pull out a 57-50 win over the Tigers. Marcus Humose led the Hornets with 28 points while Cameron Dozier led the Tigers with 22 points.
Cottondale jumped out to an early 7-2 lead but Graceville heated up and tied the game at 7-7 on a basket by Kevin Potts. Cameron and C.J. Dozier each hit a bucket to give Graceville a 11-7 lead after one quarter of play. The Tigers went up by as many as 10 points in the second quarter as a 3 pointer from C.J. Dozier put them up 17-7. Cameron Dozier kept firing as well and hit 10 second quarter points to give the Tigers a 29-22 lead at the half. Humose hit 7 points in the quarter to keep the Hornets within striking distance.
The third quarter was much the same as Graceville kept up the offensive pressure and took a 6 point lead into the final quarter. Craig Myrick gave the Tigers a 9 point lead two minutes into the fourth quarter and that is when the whole evening changed for both squads. Cottondale caught fire and Graceville went ice cold. The result was a 17-1 run in the Hornets favor as Graceville was unable to make a field goal in the last six minutes of the game. A single free throw was their lone point for the remainder of the game.
