Caney Valley Bullpups boy's basketball moves on to the Sub-State semifinal with a 54-34 win over Halstead.

It was a slow start to the game, with the Bullpups trailing the Dragons 15-14 at halftime. Caney stormed out of the break on a 23-5 run, flipping a one-point deficit into a commanding 37-18 lead by the end of the third. Layne Denny, Gavin Messner, and Peyton Darden all finished in double figures.

Head Coach Matt Washburn says they played good defense the whole game, but it took until the third quarter for it to result in fast break points.  He says they have a tough road game ahead.  Caney takes on Neodesha on Tuesday night.  The Bluestreaks survived thier quarterfinal game with a 54-53 win.
