It was claws versus paws as respectful neighborhood rivals Natomas High and Inderkum each earned victories Friday night.
The highly anticipated boys varsity basketball match-up, featured as KCRA’s Game of the Week, was standing room only with chants from both sides throughout the game.
The game remained neck-and-neck for a majority of the first half until Natomas High pulled away in the second quarter. Natomas High’s Leroy Abraham hit a shot at the buzzer to put the Nighthawks ahead 33-24 at the half.
Inderkum clawed their way back in the third quarter, hitting their own buzzer-beating layup to end the quarter. Inderkum came within six points of Natomas High’s lead with about 2:30 left in the game, but Natomas High continued to hit their shots on offense and at the free throw line.
The Natomas High went on to win the game 79-64.
Earlier in the evening, the varsity girls teams faced off. Inderkum would defeat Natomas High 54-41.
Both school’s basketball squads, boys and girls, face off again at Natomas High on Feb. 17.
