Huckabay made a 3-pointer from the wing with 4 minutes, 28 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
That gave the Indians a 57-43 lead over Bellevue during Friday’s non-district boys’ basketball game at Bellevue.
But, the Eagles weren’t about to surrender that easily.
Bellevue scored the game’s next 13 points to pull within one, but the Eagles missed several shots during the final minute and state-ranked Huckabay posted a 59-56 victory.
“Defensively, we played really hard,” Bellevue head coach Colby Broussard said. “We were down to five varsity players due to injuries, and the rest of the guys picked up the slack and played hard.”
Broussard said Bellevue’s leading scorer Broc Terry was face-guarded throughout the game, and that flustered the standout Eagle.
In the fourth quarter, Terry scored eight of his team-best 20 points.
“He came into his own for us then,” Broussard added.
It was part of a stellar performance for Terry, who also grabbed 10 rebounds, dished off four assists and swiped five steals to lead Bellevue.
Jakob Watkins started Bellevue’s rally down 14 with a dribble drive to the hoop. Read more, and see the complete box score in the mid-week Bowie News.

Many Prairie Valley fans had misgivings about taking state-ranked and defending Class A state champs Perrin Jan. 6, one fan saying “nothing good can come of this.”

The Bulldogs gave a solid showing against the visiting Pirates, staying close for more than three quarters before outside shooting by Perrin enabled the visitors to pull away in a 72-57 win.

Perrin looked to blow things out early, with a 5-0 lead in the opening minute before Sawyer Bray snapped the string. The Pirates went on an 8-0 run for a 13-2 lead mid-quarter.

Prairie Valley’s Trae Campbell showed what kind of night it would be by getting inside for baskets. Jarrett Horton’s 3-pointer capped a 4-of-11 shooting frame for the ‘Dogs, who were down 19-11 after eight minutes.

Several Bowie turnovers in the opening moments Friday night enabled visiting Holliday to get out to a 10-2 lead. The Eagles then used a third quarter offensive explosion for a 72-27 win over the host Rabbits.

Four turnovers in the first 90 seconds hurt the Rabbits, Holliday took advantage and broke things wide open. Holliday led 10-2 with Tyler Richey coming through with the only Bowie points. Cason Airington’s 3-pointers ended a 3-of-8 shooting frame for the Rabbits, which were down 17-8 after one quarter.

Bowie’s shooting continued going downhill into the second quarter, the Rabbits missing all five shots. A free throw by Richey midway through the frame would be the only point. Holliday outscored Bowie 13-1 in the second frame to take a 30-9 lead at the half.

The Visitors opened the third quarter on a 12-1 run, over the first nearly three minutes of the third. Both teams had their best scoring quarters in the third.
