The Olney Cubs clashed with the Quanah Indians in a district game that was the highlight of the evening between all the Cub games played against Quanah.
It was great to see # 11 Oscar Flores suited up and playing for the Cubs but the shout out for this game goes to # 4 Tanner Hudson who continues to improve and make his presence known on the court.
This was a great defensive battle and had the Cubs started the match on fire like they were on the back half of the game they would have pulled out a victory.
Cubs lost to the Indians, Cubs 51 Indians 54 in a game that kept you on the edge of your seat the whole game.
