Flight JV Doubleheader Sweep

Connor scored 22, leading the Flight JV to victory Saturday in game one of their road/home doubleheader. Flight beat Mt. Vernon 53 - 47 at the Mustang's Sandy Springs campus. Charles scored three in the Middle School team's 4:30 game, followed by the Varsity Girls' 51 - 22 win. The JV won the nightcap in similar fashion, beating the American Heritage varsity 50 - 43. Joel hit for double figures for the first time in his JV career, and kevin garnered 15 rebounds.

The JV built a 26 point lead at the end of third quarter, then emptied the bench in the fourth. Flight only scored seven foul shots in the fourth quarter. Mt. Vernon cut into Flight's lead, as shots started falling that ealier in the game bounced off the rim...but the Mustangs ran out of time.

DJ added ten points in limited playing time. Will added a foul shot (and 4 hard fouls). Nine of Connor's 22 points came from three straight second quarter three-pointers. Joe added a layup and Jake two rebounds. Then most of the squad took off on foot, walking through the woods and across the street to Flight's home gym.

The Varsity Girls...
...cruised to a 51 - 22 win over American Heritage, despite missing starters Danielle and Kara, both sitting out due to concussions suffered in last Saturday's Crown game. This time it was the varsity playing the whole game with five players: Courtney, Kathleen, Katelyn, and the two Hannahs.

JV Boys Game Two

The JV played the American Heritage Varsity in the nightcap. It appeared Flight would win easily, even without DJ, CV, and the two JB's. Kevin had seven rebounds and Joel six points in the first quarter. The JV built and held a 12 - 13 point lead deep into the third quarter...even though poor Ethan took an inbounds pass from Isaac and promptly made a lay-up - in the opponent's basket!

But American Heritage didn't give up. Down 30 - 18 in the third, they outscored Flight 22 - 15, cutting the lead to four points by sinking threes, making steals, and passing inside for open lay-ups. But like Mt. Vernon, their best player fouled out, and the clock ran out on them.
