| Bomber basketball rebounds from loss; takes consolation championship |
|
Coming off their lopsided victory over cross-town rival Del City, the Midwest City boys’ basketball team (8-0) took the consolation championship and a fifth place finish in the Putnam City Invitational.
The 15th edition of the PCI wasn’t kind to start for 6A’s No. 2 ranked Bombers as the tournament got underway last Thursday at Putnam City West.
Midwest City saw the home school Oklahoma City Storm led by TCU commit guard Chauncey Collins in day one, and Collins wasted no time showing why he was last year’s National Homeschool Player of the Year.
Collins followed 8 first quarter points with 13 more in the second quarter going 4-7 from the 3-point line in that time span. The demoralizing part for the Bombers wasn’t Collins hitting 3’s but the kind that he was taking and knocking down.
