ROCKLAND - The Rockland boys' basketball team suffered a cold-shooting night from the perimeter and allowed Clark County to pull away for a 46-41 win Friday at Rockland.

Despite the Bulldogs' shooting woes, the teams were tied 25-25 at halftime and 40-40 with 1:20 left in the game. Once Clark County took the lead in the final minute, though, Rockland could not respond against the Bobcats' zone defense.

"We couldn't buy an outside basket," Rockland coach Dan Ralphs said. "We were colder than ice. It didn't matter who was shooting."

Matt Nelson led Rockland with 19 points and 10 rebounds.

Rockland (5-7, 3-3) plays its final home game of the season on Wednesday against North Gem.
