Colome boys basketball team was defeated by Gregory 57-43 in the District 12B game Friday in Mitchell.
The game was tied 13-13 at the end of the first quarter.
Reed Harter led the scoring for Colome with 23 points followed by Holden Thieman with 15. Harter drained five 3 point shots.
“I thought we played well with all things considered,” said coach Drew Weber. “I don’t think we brought our A game offensively and we knew that we would have to in order to have a chance to win in the end. Gregory did a great job of using their length and quickness to make us uncomfortable offensively. I was proud of how well we reacted to playing in such a big game in front of a large crowd,” said Weber.
“We hadn’t had that experience yet and it was nice to see our boys not be intimidated by the circumstances.”
The Cowboys shot 33 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free throw line.
Thieman pulled down 15 rebounds and Harter, 10.
Colome ended the season with 13 wins and 9 losses.
“I feel we were able to use this experience as a springboard for next season. Overall, I feel like we had a very successful season and have a lot of things to be proud of,” said Weber.
