The Friday night High School Game of the Week brings us to Humboldt as the Cubs host the Cherryvale Chargers tonight on the Mighty 690.
The Chargers are 4-3 on the season and defeated Neodesha at home 66-50 last week. The Chargers feature an extremely talented backcourt with both skill and experience, with junior Stetson Schafer, senior Trevin Elam, and senior Brock Robertson.
Humboldt head coach Dave Taylor says that his young defense will be tested often defending the skilled backcourt of the Chargers.
Humboldt enters this matchup unbeaten at 8-0 on the season, and is coming off of an impressive 66-53 win over Fredonia earlier this week. The Cubs are a tough matchup physically, as their three leading scorers are all at least 6'2" tall.
Senior Trey Sommer leads the Cubs averaging nearly 18 points per game, and junior Sam Hull as well as sophomore Colden Cook also average double digit point totals each night.
Chargers head coach Rodney Vigil says that he has nothing but respect for Coach Taylor and what he's done with the Humboldt program.
Coverage of the Cherryvale Chargers and the Humboldt Cubs will begin tonight following the girls varsity game. Tip off is anticipated for 7:30 p.m. CT.
