A 31-point effort by Choudrant’s Michael Jones Monday evening wasn’t quite enough as the Aggies fell 70-66 at Gibsland-Coleman.
Choudrant led 54-50 heading into the final stanza but Gibsland-Coleman turned up its offense, outscoring the Aggies 20-12 over the final eight minutes to secure the win.
The Aggies’ Carson Carrico connected on six 3-pointers, including three in the fourth quarter, to help add 20 points for Choudrant, which also received seven points from Braden Soto.
“Gibsland-Coleman had a big fourth-quarter and that made the difference,” said CHS coach Ryan Smith. “Playing three games in four days is tough, and we’re back at it tonight and then we’ll play Castor at home on Friday.”
St. Frederick 65, Choudrant 44
The Warriors took control in the second quarter on Saturday and never looked back as St. Frederick marched to a home win over the Aggies in its own tournament.
Michael Jones was the lone Aggie scoring in double figures with 18 points while Braden Soto added six and Tucker Batterton chipped in with six on a pair of 3-pointers.
Choudrant 76, Delta Charter 75 (Double OT)
The Aggies opened play in the St. Frederick Tournament with a win on Friday as Choudrant had three players score in double figures to power the win.
Michael Jones led the Aggies with 29 points while Lawson Stevens finished with 15 and Carson Carrico chipped in with 12 for the Aggies.
“We’re still just working hard to try and get better,” Smith said. “We just started slow against St. Frederick on Saturday and couldn’t quite get it going. I was very proud of the way the guys played Delta Charter coming off the long holiday break and there’s a lot of season left.”
Choudrant (15-9) will next play at Summerfield tonight.
