Tournament Weekend

After a devastating loss to Greenville Classical the night before we were ready to take on the Anderson Christian who defeated us in a comeback fashion on our last regular season game of the year. This time we were about to play against them in the consolation round of the season ending tournament. It took a while for either team to score but the game got going when David Rice blew by the big man from Anderson Christian for an easy layup. Early second quarter Will Whiteside was charged with his third foul causing him to go to the bench. This was a devastating loss......so we thought, but our backup Guard Samuel Black played spectactular offense and defense. Also, bench players Daniel Baxa and Jake Stribling scored in the first half on outstanding layups. We finished the half on about a 9-0 run capped off by a fadeaway jumper at the halftime buzzer by me. With seven seconds left Daniel inbounded it to Anthony and Anthony passed it to Jake, Jake made an outstanding bounce pass before I hit the shot. In the second half their all-around amazing center. They got within only seven points when Peter Howard drew an obvious charge. As the seconds ticked off the third quarter clock Mo fired up a three and it went right in. In the fourth quarter we introduced the newly found game called we scream you scream. When we shot free throws the whole game the Anderson Christian Lions would scream to try to distract us. Most of the game it worked but in the fourth quarter we decided to make a little fun out of it. They would scream at the beginning of the shot and if we we made it we would scream back. The last three free throws of the game we made which was enough to make them stop. We ended up with a very demading winning taking third place. Some other highlights from the game were Anthony's great (but funny) attempt to draw a charge. Will's excellent Jump shots and PC's amazing defense. We ended the season with the bang, and a little payback.
