Three Chagrin Falls players scored in double figures as the Tigers improved to 2-0 with a 72-68 nonconference win over visiting Aurora on Friday.
“We had a well-balanced attack tonight with many guys playing key roles in our victory,” Chagrin Falls coach Dave Bargar said. “We didn’t play our normal defense tonight, but Aurora had a lot to do with that as they are a very potent offensive team.”
The Tigers led 18-17 after the first quarter and the game was tied 34-34 at halftime.
“In the first half, we left too many points on the court,” Bargar said. “I thought we were much better in the second half converting the opportunities that were there.”
Tate Yonker led the Tigers with 18 points and Xavier Perez and Jack McMullen also scored in double figures with 16 and 11 points respectively.
Cam Owen contributed with eight points and Josh Norton added seven points, eight rebounds and seven assists.
“I was very proud of our guys tonight because we found a way to win a game that was very different from our first game,” Bargar said. “Finding different ways to win should help us as we move on this season.”
Chagrin Falls opens Chagrin Valley Conference play on Tuesday at home against Beachwood.
