Brownfield takes down Big Spring in a thriller 57-44

The Brownfield Runnin’ Cubs hit the road Friday night and took on the Big Spring Steer and they came back home Friday victorious winning the game 57-44. Friday’s game started off a lot like most games for the Runnin’ Cubs this season getting up and down the floor early just not able to hit shots early on. Fortunately, just like most games Brownfields defense was pesky enough to keep it a low scoring affair. Malik Mason who came off the bench for a change, was something that actually proved to be needed giving Brownfield a much-needed spark with big offensive boards, and 4 quick points. By the end of the 1 st quarter the game was deadlocked at 10. In the 2 nd quarter Big Spring was able to find some offense early, while Brownfield sputtered a bit. JoJo Carrillo was called upon to hit timely shots that never allowed Big Springs to get much of a lead. With 2:00 left in the half Brownfield saw themselves down 19-16 after a 5-0 Big Spring run when Jeron Lawrence would knock down a NBA range 3 pointer to knot the game up at 19 and give Brownfield some pep in their step on the defensive side to end the half. Both squads were getting ready to go into the locker room, but a last second foul would send Pedro Rodriguez to the line for two free throws that he’d make and give the Cubs a 22-21 lead at the break.
