Would the Ferndale boys basketball team have an answer for this Canadian guard?
Despite 29 points from senior James Hinson, the Ferndale boys basketball team dropped its season opener 69-66 to Canadian school Tamanawis Secondary Thursday at Ferndale High School.
The Golden Eagles also got 21 points from Sequoyah Julius, but the team struggled to contain guard Miguel Tomley who poured in 38 points.
Ferndale coach Mark Wright said it was a competitive game, but once Tomley got his feet underneath him it was tough to slow him down.
“He was good inside and out,” Wright said. “He had the ability to blow right past you too.”
Ferndale led 20-7 after the fourth quarter, but lost the second quarter 22-7.
