Motor City Roundball Classic: De La Salle cruises past Pershing

<p>Led by a great performance from Nino Carter, the De La Salle Pilots destroyed the Pershing Doughboys 77-49.

Now, let’s take a look at the notable performances</p> <p><strong>Top 3 Points</strong></p> <table style="width: 65.791%; height: 229px;"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 39px;"> <td style="height: 39px; width: 57.5868%;">De La Salle</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.3346%;"> </td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 29.4333%;">Pershing</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.366%;"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 39px;"> <td style="height: 39px; width: 57.5868%;">Nino Carter</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.3346%;">20 </td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 29.4333%;">#2</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.366%;">16</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 39px;"> <td style="height: 39px; width: 57.5868%;">Phoenix Glassnor</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.3346%;">13</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 29.4333%;">[player_tooltip player_id="1067862" first="Jeremiah" last="Henderson"]</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.366%;">10 </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 39px;"> <td style="height: 39px; width: 57.5868%;">[player_tooltip player_id="983510" first="Tamario" last="Adley"]</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.3346%;">12</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 29.4333%;">[player_tooltip player_id="863929" first="Tharren" last="Hill"]</td> <td style="height: 39px; width: 11.366%;">9 </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Nino Carter</strong></p> <p>The MVP for today’s Roundball Classic, Carter was unstoppable. He had a pair of early 3’s with plenty of assists and playmaking to go along with that. Truly a great performance that should give him confidence heading into league play.</p> <p><strong>Pheonix Glassnor</strong></p> <p>Glassnor quietly had a great game coming off the bench. Pheonix is tall and lengthy and guess what - Pheonix is only a freshman. With plenty of playing time now, with a ton of offseason work, Pheonix is looking at an insanely bright basketball future.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="983510" first="Tamario" last="Adley"] </strong></p> <p>Adley got it done tonight with a great point total and plenty of rebounds. He’s a big body that can do a little bit of everything, but was mostly great in the paint.</p> <p><strong>Pershing #2</strong></p> <p>The venue did not offer rosters, and I cannot find any online information, so my apologies. Going into this game the obvious name to watch for the Doughboys was Hill, but #2 got in done from deep and went to the line twice hitting 2/4 FT’s. He really held the team up at some points and was crucial in a second-half run they went on.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1067862" first="Jeremiah" last="Henderson"]</strong></p> <p>Henderson was another guy that was lethal from deep, hitting 2 three-pointers while scoring a few layups. The defensive pressure for Henderson was also there.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863929" first="Tharren" last="Hill"]</strong></p> <p>Surely the most athletic on the court for the Doughboys, Hill did a good job slashing and getting to the line, but wasn’t able to get going early. It was obvious that it was a bit of an off night for him, but again, you could tell he has some talent. </p>
