It was nice to get back home to Brinkley Gym last night. We have been on the road for the past two of the last three games and suffered losses in each of those game. Last night we played our sixth game. I'm sure most fans were nervous seeing three of our best players not even dressed out (Phillip Williams - tonsil infection; Justin Glover - knee injury; Kimani Hunt - ankle sprain), but the coaches and player knew everyone had to elevate their level of play. Once the game tipped off, the Storm was off and running. Last season's leading scorer Roderick Geter got hot early, making five out of seven threes in the first half. His shooting helped the Storm build a considerable lead that they never relinquished. The Storm built up a lead of 30 points by the second half. Eric Potts played exceptional on both ends of the courts. He finished with a double-double (11 points, 14 rebounds). Our bench provided excellent energy both on the sideline and when they entered the game. Everyone on the team got to play in last night's victory! The final score: Storm 94, Crusaders 75.
Leading Scorers: Roderick Geter (24), AJ Finney (12), Bryan Roberts (12), Eric Potts (11)
Leading Rebounders: Eric Potts (14), Zack Williams (6), Bryan Roberts (5)
Assist Leader: Derrick Mayo (7), AJ Finney (6)
Final thoughts: We still need to continue improving on many aspects of the game. We need to continue working on crisp passing, taking care of the basketball, free throw shooting and other various fundamentals. We will continue to work diligently on and improve these aspects of the game.
The Storm is now 3-3. We head to Tidewater Community College this weekend to play in a tournament. We will be playing Tidewater CC and CCBC - Dundalk. Until then...
GO STORM!!
