On Friday, Jan. 31, the Tri-City’s junior college men’s basketball teams went head-to-head.
Ohlone College of Fremont and Chabot College of Hayward played a conference game on the Ohlone Renegade court. However, the home court advantage wasn’t enough for Ohlone, as the overall 14-8 team lost with only a four-point deficit, 74-70.
After claiming possession of the ball from tip-off, Chabot missed their opportunity to be the first to put a number on the scoreboard. With Ohlone’s first moment in possession of the ball, Amos Hodgson #5 made the team’s fist basket and would go on to be Ohlone’s highest scorer of the night with 31-points. Chabot’s highest scorer was Zion Yeargin #13 with 19-points.
At half-time, Ohlone was up 34-38. Both teams picked up their pace in the second half. With 50 seconds on the clock the teams were tied 68-68. After a number of time-outs, Chabot claimed the victory with only seconds to spare.
