The Belton JV Tigers secured a hard-fought 43-39 victory over the Chaparral Bobcats in a matchup defined by grit and late-game execution. From the opening tip-off, it was clear that this would be a competitive contest, with both teams fighting for every possession. Ultimately, the game was decided in the closing minutes, where the Tigers' disciplined defensive stops and ability to capitalize on crucial scoring opportunities allowed them to pull ahead of a resilient Bobcats squad.
Offensively, the Tigers were sparked by a stellar performance from Camryn Jackson, who was lethal from beyond the arc. Jackson connected on four 3-pointers and finished with a game-high 14 points, leading all scorers and providing the perimeter threat Belton needed to stretch the defense. Hunter Hurst was equally vital to the winning effort, contributing 12 points and maintaining consistent pressure on the Chaparral defense throughout the four quarters.
The game’s climax belonged to David McCallum, whose "clutch" play in the final moments sealed the win for Belton. With the score tied late, McCallum drove for a critical bucket to put the Tigers up by two. He followed that up immediately on the defensive end, forcing a turnover that led to an additional score, effectively icing the game. This combination of offensive composure and defensive intensity highlights the Belton Tigers' growth as they continue to find ways to win tight games.
