JV Basketball vs. VIC Championship Game vs. Eastern Mennonite
May 27, 2011
A very evenly matched game was played Saturday at Lynchburg College. The much bigger flames seemed to own every contested rebound in a game in which neither team ever had a lead of more than 4 points. The flames had a chance to win in regulation but missed their last two shots. Hargrave scored the opening basket in OT on a drive by Josh Rudolph whom the flames seemed unable to keep out of the lane all afternoon, and scored the final basket of the game to finish with 20. We had the ball with a 2 point lead under their basket with 6 seconds left and they put every player up to try to steal the ball. We managed to get the ball in and scored a break away basket to seal the win. The JV team finished the year undefeated at 19-0. They won their second consecutive VIC crown. Nick Barr playing on a severly sprained ankle the whole second half finished with 12 points. Andrew Sigmon had 9, Keiland Harris 7, Brenden Courrier 4, Steven Williams 3, and Jarrod Patterson 1. Though not the most talented individuals I ever coached, they were the best TEAM. Go Tigers!
