About this Article

With 21 turnovers as a testament, the Carmel boys basketball team had big trouble with Wauconda’s full-court pressure Wednesday night. But the host Bulldogs had even bigger trouble with Carmel’s bigs. The tall tandem of 6-foot-9 center Jack George and 6-foot-6 forward Cullen Barr teamed up to dominate the paint and push their way around for more than half of Carmel’s points in the Corsairs’ 50-40 nonconference victory over Wauconda. George pumped in a game-high 16 points while Barr added 15 points to help Carmel improve to 6-9.
