The 4A Region IV Dist 25 district champs Cedar Park (10-2) went into the game against Co Champ New Braunfels Canyon (11-1) with a lot of expectations. Considering that Cedar Park plays in one of the most competitive districts in central Texas hopes were high for the Timber Wolves.
The first half went just like the Wolves would have liked, their defense was aggressive and they took advantage of Cougar miscues holding them to only 7 points in the first.
In the second quarter the Wolves defense kept up the pressure against the Cougars holding them to only 6 points at the end of two quarters the Wolves were up 24 to 13 and the Cougars were left trying to find their offense.
As the third quarter got under way things didn't look well offensively for the Wolves, shot were not going in and the Cougar defense woke up and realized that this was a playoff game. While it appeared that this was going to be the Cougars quarter they continued to struggle offensively as well. The Wolves were content to allow their defense to keep them in the game by holding the Cougars to only 4 points in the third and probably their lowest out put of the season for one quarter.
At the start of the fourth quarter the Wolves now lead 30 to 17 and with a comfortable 13 point lead it looked like the Wolves were going to advance to the next game. With that in mind the Cougars were not done competing and they did what they have done all year, stay calm and just keep playing and hope that things would turn around. The Cougar's efforts began to payoff their offense made a run and their defense continued to pressure the Wolves out front. The fourth quarter would be the Cougar's best quarter scoring 17 points but it would not be enough losing the game by 5 points 34 to 39.
This has to be one of the lowest scoring games I've seen in a long time especially a playoff game. Canyon didn't have anyone in double figures and Cedar Park only had Dylan Cox with 12.
March 4 at 8:00 PM, Cedar Park is scheduled to play San Antonio Lanier who got through district rival and district champion San Antonio Brackenridge to move on to the match up against the Timber Wolves.
Lanier has averaged 57 ppg during the playoffs defeating Port Lavaca Calhoun (57-42), Corpus Christi's Tuloso Midway (63-43), and San Antonio Brackenridged (51-47).
Cedar Park has averaged 54 ppg during the playoffs and defeated Austin Reagan (75-59), Kerrville Tivy (47-45), and New Braunfels Canyon (39-34).
We wish Coach Brown and the Timber Wolves a lot of luck this Friday and hope to see them in the state championship.
