Isiah Easter scored 21 points in leading the way for the JV’s final home game of the season but the team couldn’t overcome a brief dry spell in the third quarter in falling to the Bruins 52-41.
Carroll County scored the first three points of the second half to pull within 26-24 and was in possession of the ball with a chance to pull even.
That would be as close as the team would get to a comeback victory as the Bruins went on a 14-4 run to put the game out of reach at 40-28. Give the unit credit for playing hard until the end of the game as they have all season. Easter converted a old fashion 3-point play to pull the Cavaliers to within 46-39 but the Bruins would go 6 for 11 from the free throw line to keep the Cavs at arms length for the balance of the game.
The JV will close out its season Thursday night when they travel over to Galax.
