How It Happened |
Second Half
Thomas opened with a
three-pointer to take a 39-
34 lead early before Blue
hit a responding three
nearly two minutes late to
pull the Barons back to a
two-point difference. After
a jumper from the Night
Hawks at the 17:04 mark,
Blue hit treys at the 16:46
mark and the 15:30 mark
to advance Brewton-Parker
forward to a 43-41 advan
tage.
The Night Hawks
swiftly responded with a
quick trip down the floor
and a trey to shift the lead
in their favor. Brewton-
Parker found a bucket from
Johnson Jr. at the 14:41
mark to give the Barons a
one-point edge, but that
was the last lead for BPC.
Thomas answered with
a 9-1 run over the next
couple of minutes to move
to a 53-46 lead before Blue
was able to knock another
trey down for a BPC re
sponse. Nearly three min
utes of scoreless action
moved past before the
Night Hawks put in a five-
point addition to the tally
by taking care of miscues
from the Barons, leading
58-49 with 9:37 to play.
Dre Burroughs hit two
deep balls to help spark
some life into the Barons as
part of an 8-2 swing to pull
BPC to just a 60-57 deficit
with less than seven min
utes remaining. Brewton-
Parker was unable to con
tinue the momentum shift
as Thomas netted seven
unanswered points within
a minute to move to a dou
ble-figure advantage.
Brewton-Parker tried to
battle through late in the
game, but Thomas held
onto a 10-7 scoring stretch
to secure a win in Mount
Vernon. The Night Hawks
finished the half scoring 41
points for a 77-64 final
score.
