JV Boys Roll on Friday, Too

JV BOYS – Isaac and newcomer CV led a second quarter 15 – 4 run, propelling the JV Boys to a much easier win than their previous one-point victory at Covenant. DJ led Flight scorers with 19 points, and Connor added sixteen.

The JV Boys game was delayed several minutes while Willis repaired the backboard padding. Contrary to some reports, he did use a chair. Flight trailed most of the first quarter, as Flight shot poorly. Connor nicely assisted Josh for a basket, and later Jonathan had an inbound assist to DJ, who made a long three. Late in the quarter DJ assisted Isaac, who made a running bucket. Flight trailed 14 – 12 at the quarter break.

CV entered the game as the second quarter began, and endeared his teammates by repeatedly passing and assisting on scores. His first two rebounds resulted in four points for DJ. After a DJ block, Jonathan B amused the crowd with a wild hook shot, in the same area code as the basket. DJ rebounded, then made a running bank shot. Isaac reentered the game, and stepped things up a notch. His first rebound led to a basket by Connor. CV grabbed two and scored a putback. Connor had a block, and drained a three. Isaac kicked out to CV, who made the jumper. CV assisted Isaac on the next two scored, then made a steal. Kevin made an inside shot, then Connor assisted on an Isaac basket. Flight had bolted ahead to a 35 – 27 lead.

Connor picked up his fourth foul just seconds into the third quarter, and he had to be spelled. CV and DJ passed back and fourth, with CV assisting a DJ layup. Josh rebounded, and passed to DJ for a layup. CV rebounded, and kicked out to DJ for three.. After Kevin’s rebound, DJ made a long three after the buzzer.

Up 49 – 32 against a hard-playing Covenant team, Coach Hoffer made sure everyone got plenty of fourth quarter minutes. The closest Covenant could cut the score was nine points. Kevin rebound, CV steal, Jonathan block, Joe rebound. Kevin made a steal, then Josh had a steal and two straight rebounds. Jonathan assisted Kevin on a give-and-go. Connor and Ethan each made two straight free throws. Joel made a big block inside. Jake grabbed two rebounds. Joe’s steal resulted in two foul shots by Connor, then Ethan forced two straight jump balls. Connor made two more foul shots and added a steal, before fouling out with 48 seconds remaining, up 11 points. Joe grabbed two rebounds.

The game ended similarly to the end of the championship game in “High School Musical – Senior Year”. As the seconds ticked down, BMOC DJ gave up a shot, passed ahead to Joe under the basket. Joe laid it in just before the buzzer sounded.

DJ…19, Connor…16, Isaac…9, CV…5, Kevin…5, Josh…3, Joe…2, Ethan…2, Jonathan…2 assists, Jake…2 RB, Will…2 RB, Joel…block, and Jonathan B played hard, with no stats.
