Cedar Park vs Leander

This game looked to be a exciting game from the start.  With Cedar Park and Leander being next door neighbors this has become a local rivalry which separates neighbors and families.  While both schools have traditionally been football schools, in the past few years their basketball rivalry has become just as exciting.  The first quarter started like most area games it was slow offensively with Cedar Park scoring 14 to Leander's 7 points.  While both defenses worked hard to stop the other, it was the inconsistency of the offensive shooters that keep the scoring down.  At the end of the second quarter Cedar Park was leading 24 to 18 and Leander was left looking for a way to get points on the board.

At the start of the third Leander was still struggling offensively.  Coach Bradley managed to find opportunities for his team to get open looks but the shot just were not dropping for them, at the end of three Cedar Park extended their lead to 11 points.  In the fourth Leander's offense found its grove and were able to put up 16 points, unfortunately Cedar Park was able to match them point for point scoring 15 of their own.  In the end Cedar Park held off Leander and pulled off a 10 point victory.

Both teams have a lot to work on on both sides of the court.  Consistency seems to be the biggest problem on the offensive side of the court.  This is something that both teams will have taken care of once conference play starts up so I expect some really good games throughout the season.
