Continue ReadingPratt started the game off hot by hitting the first five points to get the chargers going. He continued to make hustle plays throughout the first half and although he only had an additional three-pointer to end the first half his movement without the basketball allowed his teammates to get opportunities offensively. Throughout the game, Pratt would score in bunches at a time and it seemed like it always came at the perfect time when a memorial was needed. He ended the game being the leading scorer for the memorial chargers.
In the first half of the game lived around the rim and was able to take advantage of penetration from a few different guards on his team. In the second half, he didn’t get as many opportunities to score but he made up for it by playing hard noise defense and making an extra effort to box out and keep hale off the glass. Throughout the game, Memorial ran a 2 – 3 match-up zone and Radford did a great job of clogging up the middle and making it tough for hale to get opportunities in there.
Highlights
In the first half of the game, Ingram impacted the game more on the offensive side of the ball than he did with scoring. His hustle plays allowed his team to consistently get second-chance opportunities on the offensive end while limiting the chances that have got on the defensive side of the basketball. In the second half, he used his athleticism to rise over the top of guys and score consistently.
Highlights
Lewis started the game being consistent with his scoring and by half time he had already amassed double figures. Although his shot wasn’t falling he still found ways to get into the teeth of the defense and score. With him not hitting his usual three-point shot and none of his teammates being able to get it going memorial never really had to come out of the 2 – 3 zone.
Across the board, Hale High School was never really able to get into a good rhythm. Although they started great in the first half they couldn’t continue that same pace throughout the game which lead to memorial winning big. At the end of the game, you could see that hale take the lose personal and I think this will make them a much better team for the next game.
