basketball academy match report 18/11/09

Worthing college V Sussex downs Eastbourne
 
always a tough match up Eastbourne have a big line up & a disciplined game plan! also their home-court is extra long & an icebox
we won the opening tip, scored the first basket & didn't look back! the 1st quarter was good for us as we scored freely & our zone defense held Eastbourne at bay! we led after the first 10 minutes 19-13
the second quarter was a different story. Eastbourne found their feet & knocked down some shots! we kept fighting & rotations from our bench helped us stay level. at the half the scores were tied at 33! we had been outscored in the 2nd 20-14!
at the half we spoke about raising our intensity & pressure on the defensive end! we had to step up..
the 3rd quarter started & we went on a run! 3 buckets from louis harris & 2 from ian marshall gave us a little cushion! our defense kicked in & we held Eastbourne to 9 points. scoring 19 points ourselves we lead 52-42 heading into the final stanza
the final 10 minutes was a tough test as Eastbourne tried everything to get back to level terms. we couldn't break away further & both teams traded scores. a big 3-pointer from louis harris (man of the match) sealed the game for us down the stretch! we were actually outscored in the 4th quarter 13-12 but came out on top with a good win! 64-55 Worthing!
