Connors drops pair to NOC-Enid Coach Bill Muse and the Cowboys would just as soon forget the second half of their game against the Jets (11-5). Northern-Enid took its first lead with 9:09 left in the game on the way to outscoring Connors 46-26 in the latter 20 minutes.
The loss is the second straight for Connors (13-4) since resuming play after the holiday break. “Right now, I’m just kind of befuddled,” Muse said. “I thought they were more physical, got every loose ball and they played harder. They just took it to us in the second half.” Aaron McHenry, the Jets’ 6-1 guard, led the second half surge with all of his 15 points in the half. Ben Smith had 13, while Wayne Runnels had 12 and Juleous Grant added 11. Jeremy Lay scored 10 of his 17 points in the second half. Like the Cowgirls, the Cowboys were without the inside presence of 6-7 Justin Butler. Muse kicked Butler off the team this past weekend for “violation of team policy.” “We’ll find out the rest of the year, I guess,” Muse said about missing Butler in the lineup. “You’ve got to learn how to play a lot of different ways.” Stephon Weaver led the Cowboys and topped all scorers with 24 points and Chris Blake added 13.
