CHS Ironmen hoops teams regular season winding down

One game left before conference tournament; playoffs

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Editor michael@cfmedia.info

The Ironmen basketball teams had two games last week as their 2022-2023 regular season came to a close. The games were home games against the Burns Bulldogs (Tuesday, Jan. 31,) and against the Highland Tech Rams (Friday, Feb. 3). The week also saw the last regular season home game for retiring head men’s coach, Scott Harrill, whose 24-year career has brought many great memories to the Ironmen family of sportsmen and women.

The Junior Varsity squad won both of their games against their respective teams, beating Burns’ JV team by a score of 61-60, and the HT Rams’ JV team by a score of 41-40.

Against Burn’s

The Lady Ironmen faced the Lady Bulldogs of Burns and lost their game by a score of 46-39. High scorer for the CHS ladies was Gabbie McCorkle with 21 points. She was the only player in double digits in this one. Laila Davis and Krista Davis both 4 points apiece, followed by Raylei Gidney and Kate Bookout with 3 points apiece. Regan Hovis and Ceniya Powell had 2 points apiece to round out the score in this one.

For the varsity men, it was a loss on their home court at Nixon Gym as the Bulldogs won, 69-57 over the CHS men.

High scorers for the Ironmen were Darrien Floyd (17), Landon Hahn (14), and Numarius Good (12). Carson Kelly had 9 points and Nate Bookout had 5 points. Against Highland Tech

On Friday, Feb. 3, the Ironmen hoops teams took on the Rams of Highland Tech.

The Lady Ironmen took the court after the JV team downed the Rams JV squad, as noted earlier, and were only down by 2 points at the half (13-15), but when went on a romp and the game ended with the CHS ladies falling to the HT ladies 34-26.

High scorers for the Lady Ironmen in this one were Gabbie McCorkle (8 pts.), Kate Bookout and Krista Davis (5 points apiece), Raylei Gidney (4 pts.), and Emily Allen and Evionna McDowell, each with 2 points.

The varsity men fared somewhat better but were in a fight as the Rams were only behind by 5 points at the half (30-25). Fortunately, the Ironmen came back after the half and got the win by a score of 62-48. Four Ironmen were in double figures: Carson Kelly (18 pts.), Landon Hahn (15 pts.), Numarius Good (12 pts.), and Darrien Floyd (10 pts.) Nate Bookout score 3 points and Chance Hunt and Rayshawn Sewell each scored two points.

The Ironmen will travel to Thomas Jefferson to play the Gryphons on Friday, Feb. 10, then will start their conference and sectional play the following week.
