<<< Previous Vs. New Philadelphia | Boys Basketball Schedule | Next Vs. Woodridge >>>
The Louisville Leopards Boys Varsity Basketball Team fell to the host Howland Tigers 71-65 Tuesday Night at Howland High School. With the loss, Louisville drops to 8-3 on the season.
Boldon Hits 5 of Team Record 8 Three-Pointers
Senior Tyler Boldon tied a team record with 8 three-pointers and scored a team high 26 points to lead the Leopards. He connected on a three-pointer in each of the first three quarters before banging home 5 three-pointers in the fourth quarter.
Boldon’s effort ties Brandon Wahl who originally set the team mark with 8 three-pointers in a game during Louisville’s 69-46 win at Marlington on January 5, 2018. Boldon matched Wahl for three-pointers in a quarter with 5 in the fourth (Wahl made 5 three-pointers in the first quarter).
Boldon also set a new mark for three-pointers in a single half with 6 in the second half. This broke the record previously held by Wahl, and Owen Gramoy who made 5 three-pointers in the opening half of the Leopards 56-54 home loss to Northwest on January 21, 2011.
