Audubon couldn’t recover from a slow start on Saturday as they fall to 5-8 on the season. The Wheelers trailed by 24 in the 3rd quarter but cut it to 13 early in the 4th quarter. After a low scoring 1st half that found the Wheelers score 21 points in the 1st half they score 19 in the 3rd quarter with 22 points in the 4th quarter. The Wheelers won the 2nd half 41-36 but trailed 43-21 at half.
Collin Bauer helped spark the 4th quarter rally when he grabbed a loose ball in the corner with under a second left in the 3rd quarter and flung the ball up over is head as he ran out of bounds. The ball sailed through the air and swished through the hoop, cutting the Spartans lead to 58-40. Audubon scored five of the first-seven points in the 4th to pull with in 15 but Exira-EHK was too strong inside all day and Jackson Radcliff, Easton Nelson and Cash Emgarten took over down the stretch, extending the Spartans lead to 21 with a couple minutes remaining.
The Spartans opened the game with an 8-0 run before Carson Bauer scored 2 of his game high 25 points. Bauer had the first-seven points of the Wheelers, cutting the Spartan lead to 15-7. Exira-EHK was able to get out on the break in the 1st half, extending their lead to 22-9 before Gavin Smith found Edward Miller for a bucket, followed by a Jackson Deist bucket, making it 22-13. A Spartan 10-0 run late in the 2nd half built their lead to 43-19 just before half.
Audubon did much better getting back in the 2nd half and forced the Spartans to execute in the half court. They were able to get a few stops early in the 4th quarter. Edward Miller and Collin Bauer started knocking down shots in the 2nd half as Miller finished with three-threes and Collin Bauer added two.
Carson Bauer led the way with 25 points and 5 rebounds. Edward Miller added 19 points and 4 rebounds. Collin Bauer finished with 12 points. Gavin Smith had a team high 8 rebounds and Jackson Deist led the team with 4 assists.
The loss drops the Wheelers to 5-8 overall as they prepare to head to Treynor on Tuesday.
