November 30, 2021 by Adam Donaldson

For the second night in a row Continental High Boys Basketball went on the road and scored first.  Pirate Alex Sharritts opened up the scoring with a basket to give the Pirates a 2-0.  Host Lima Temple Christian then put in 3 baskets to take a 6-2 lead.  The Pirates would pour in 8 points to take the lead for good when Gavin Huff made a basket, and Konnor Knipp Williams and Wyatt Davis would both hit a 3.  Pirates 10-6.  Knipp-Williams would finish up the quarter scoring by going 3-4 from the line for the Pirates.  Pirates 13-8 after 1.
The second quarter had the Pirates put in the first 3 points as Davis would hit a free throw and Huff would make a basket.  Pirates 16-8.  The Pioneers would rally to cut the Pirate lead in half with a made free throw and a 3.  The Pirates would take a 9 point lead when Huff would convert a 3 point play and Sharritts and Mason Rayle would each make 1 free throw.  A free throw by the Pioneers would be followed up by a pair of Sharrits free throws to make it Pirates 23-13.  The Pioneers would bank in a three at the buzzer for a Pirates 23-16 lead at half.
The Pirates would make it a 9 point game when Huff opened up the second half scoring with a basket.  Pirates 25-16.  A basket by the Pioneers would be followed up by a basket by Sharrits  Pirates 27-18.  A Pioneer basket left them with 20 points at the end of 3 but the Pirates would add 5 more to their total as Huff would make a basket and Sharritts a 3.  Pirates 32-20 after 3.
The Pirates would take control of the game at the start of the fourth quarter as they would string together 4 baskets (2 by Huff and 1 each by Armey and Knipp-Williams)  Pirates 40-20.  The Pioneers would finish the game outscoring the Pirates 6-4 but the Pirates left Lima as the 44-26 winner.
