CANEY — The calendar still says mid-January, but Humboldt Middle School’s boys dished out a helping of March Madness Thursday.

The Cubs erased a nine-point deficit in the fourth quarter, scoring in the waning seconds to knock off previously unbeaten Caney, 37-36.

“This was a great game to be a part of,” Humboldt head coach Jeremy Weilert said.

Humboldt held a slim 7-6 lead after one quarter and a 16-15 lead at halftime.

Caney came out after the break like gangbusters, opening the half with a 13-0 run.

But that changed in the fourth quarter, when Humboldt outscored the Bullpups 18-8 in the period.
