The reality and inexperience of a young team showed up on Saturday night as the Wayland-Cohocton boys’ basketball team were tripped up by the host team in the Dundee Tournament by a 61-48 final.
The game was a close one, but gradually in the second period the Scotsmen began to pull away and had a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter before coach Pat Farhar’s club made a couple of runs that trimmed the Golden Eagles’ deficit to five points, but that would be as close as Way-Co would get.
“We knew in the early going especially, that we would be a young and inexperienced team,” Farhar said. “We didn’t show much of that in the opener against Marcus Whitman, but tonight we made some mistakes and they would eventually catch up to us. One of the things a young team learns along the way is how to make good decisions. There were some questionable decisions that we made and therefore things didn’t quite go our way.”
The two teams were knotted at 13 after the first eight minutes. Dundee posted up 22 points in the second quarter to take a seven-point lead in at the half 25-18. The Scotsmen extended the lead by six over the final two periods of play to put the lid on an eventual 61-48 victory over the Golden Eagles.
