[player_tooltip player_id='1131830' first='Luke' last='Flynn'] led all scorers with 28 and he's playing like one of the best guards in the state right now. Sophomore [player_tooltip player_id='1688187' first='Caesar' last='Burrows'] had a big, 14-point third quarter that shifted the momentum in Walton's favor and ultimately changed the game. Jermaine Freeman and Joshua Miles each had 19 points for South Cobb.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3>Westside Macon (76) vs Shiloh (73)</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westside Macon grinded out a big win over Shiloh in a 2OT thriller. Tyrell Cordy had the hot hand, scoring 28 points on 6 three-pointers. [player_tooltip player_id='1131536' first='Daveon' last='Henderson'] hit the game-winning layup, a tough finish with 5 seconds left in 2OT to win the game for Westside. Shiloh's backcourt duo, Nazir Griffin and [player_tooltip player_id='1444759' first='Emmanuel' last='Okogie'], did some nice things but Westside did a good job of containing [player_tooltip player_id='1383029' first='Tylis' last='Jordan'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3>Greenforest (54) vs Gaston Christian (52)</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Through the first month of the season, this may have been the best game I've seen so far. Caleb Kawela hit the game-winning layup to beat the buzzer and he looked really good throughout the game. He's a strong-bodied forward that showcased a nice shooting touch as well on Saturday. [player_tooltip player_id='820301' first='DK' last='Manyiel'] finished with 18 and hit some important shots in big moments. Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='1672429' first='Cameron' last='Newman'] was extremely impressive for Gaston Christian, scoring the ball in some creative ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3>Westlake (63) vs Riverwood (53)</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Westlake ended up getting the win in a hard-fought afternoon game. Riverwood tried to push the pace early on and were able to get out in transition but Westlake's physical forwards proved to be too much. [player_tooltip player_id='1231784' first='Rodrecus' last='Rouse'] was tough inside for Westlake and finished with 23 points. [player_tooltip player_id='1145563' first='Karris' last='Bilal'] and JR Leonard provided good scoring for Riverwood as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3>Knoxville Catholic (71) vs Mt. Pisgah (46)</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This one didn't turn out to be much of a game as [player_tooltip player_id='1383019' first='Micah' last='Tucker'], Pisgah's centerpiece, went down early with an injury. Knoxville Catholic was exciting nonetheless. They've got an interesting mix of sharpshooters and bucket-getters that make them a lethal offensive team. [player_tooltip player_id='1273551' first='Deondrea' last='Lindsey'] impressed me with his combination of size, skill &amp; athleticism. He finished with 14 to lead Knoxville Catholic. Freshman Cade Murphy also showcased some great shotmaking ability and plays year beyond his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
