  • Bucs sink Sharks from beyond the arc

    Every time Cedar Key threatened to make it a single-digit game, Branford would hit a shot.

    The Buccaneers maintained a 10- to 13-point edge throughout the third quarter last Friday, before pulling away in the fourth for a 62-37 district road win on the Sharks’ homecoming night.

    Branford hit six 3s in the opening half – including five by Jonathan Ardilla – to wipe away an 11-3 advantage by the Sharks and build up a 35-24 lead by halftime.

  • Bronson fends off improving Cedar Key squad in boys hoops

    For the second game in a row, the Cedar Key boys hacked into a double-digit second-half deficit to make for a more interesting finish.

    The Sharks trailed Bronson by as many as 17 points in the fourth last Thursday, but kept plugging away, eventually getting it to within six points in the final minute.

    The Eagles fended off the rally in the end, however, securing a 62-54 win to improve to 4-3 in District 1A-7.

  • Cedar Key girls come back for thrilling county win over Bronson

    The Cedar Key girls already had to survive a critical stretch in the third quarter without its top player, do-it-all sophomore Jasmin Jackson, who rested with four offensive fouls last Thursday in the CKS gym.

    Then, in the final two minutes of the game, the Lady Sharks would have to do it again without Jackson, who fouled out with just over two minutes to play, with her team clinging to a 32-30 lead against county and district rival Bronson.

    But the young-and-improving CKS squad showed its defense was up to the task.
