Memphis Championships Thursday, Feb 18th

RW's starters are back....

 

just before Halftime

-------------------------------

 

RW 33 -- WS 29

 

White Station is hanging much tougher, as I expected.... SO FAR.

 

WS has no absolutely answer for Tarik Black (13 pts), but Nino Johnson is playing well for WS.

 

Joe Jackson -- only 4pts.

[TraderB]

Halftime:

 

Ridgeway 35 -- White Station 29

 

oops......

 

RW fouls WS on a desperation 3pt shot @ buzzer, from beyond half-court!!

 

Wow.

------------------------------------------------

 

WS to shoot 3 foul shots w/no time remaining......Hollins made them all!

 

 

New halftime score:

 

Ridgeway 35 -- White Station 32

[TraderB]

Leading scorers @ half:

---------------------

 

Ridgeway:

 

Black -- 13 pts (10 off dunks)

Brewer -- 8

Brock -- 6

Golden -- 5

------------------------------

 

White Station:

 

Hollins -- 10 pts

M. Wms -- 6

N. Johnson -- 5

Burton -- 5

 

(Joe Jackson -- only 4 pts)

 

Ridgeway is covering Joe Jackson like a blanket, as usual. Fortunately for WS, Hollins has stepped up and is getting help (a bit surprisingly) from his two post players -- Johnson and Wms.

3rd Qtr -- 1:27 rmng. Time out.

------------------------

 

WS has come out and hit a couple of 3-pointers, to take lead and is hangin on..

 

Joe Jackson has FINALLY made another bucket -- layup, but Hollins is doing major damage for WS!

 

WS 50 -- RW 44

 

Andre Hollins has picked up his 3rd foul, but remains in game....and is on FIRE (appx 17 pts).

[TraderB]

End of 3rd Qtr:

 

White Station 56 ---- Ridgeway 46

 

Unlike its two earlier blow-out losses to Ridgeway, White Station is getting offensive production from all of its role players, for this 3rd-game rematch vs Ridgeway. Joe Jackson has managed to score about 8 pts total.
