HUMBOLDT, IA – The Humboldt Wildcats Boys basketball team survived and advanced on Thursday night as they got past the LeMars Bulldogs 57. It wasn’t easy though as Humboldt trailed by as many 6 points in the 4th quarter, and trailed by 2 inside a minute in the 4th before this big play from Senior Caden Matson.

After that the Bulldogs got a layup to get the lead back, and Humboldt again had to respond, and they did with this.

Humboldt and got a stop on turnover on defense and Matson hit two free throws to preserve the win. Here is how the final seconds sounded.

Next up for Humboldt is the Substate Final on Monday night against Spencer at Storm Lake High School at 7 PM.
