<p>Tyrone earned an offer from former NBA-player Kenny Anderson early March and then almost immediately committed to Coach Anderson's Fisk University. Robertson is a muscular combo guard for the Whites Creek Cobras. He was great in the second quarter against Douglass, though he and his team fell off in the third quarter.</p>

<p>The scrappy Demario Johnson caused a travel on the pursuing Cobras in the semifinal game. Demario darted around the floor causing chaos.</p>

<p><strong>Terrence Holly | '24 PF | Douglass</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A senior playing big in a big game is not unusual and yet Terrence Holly did it at the less glamorous end, the defensive end. Holly can defend four positions at the 2A level. He closed gaps and shut off the baseline on countless occasions. </p>

<p>Douglass stifled Whites Creek in the second half of the semifinal. By the end Douglass High won 67-39, allowing just 21 points in the entire second half. Douglass, with the bouncy Brittman, won the fourth quarter 25-8 despite entering with a lead.</p>
