4B Friday, December 21,2018 The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com SPORTS AUSTIN STEELE I The Times Chestatee’s Cameron Gwyn lays the ball up while Cherokee Bluff’s Jason Evrett, right, and Corey Thomas attempt to block during Thursday’s game in Gainesville. BLUFF ■ Continued from 1B season. With a chance to go up against his past teammates on the line, Neville played some of his best basketball. He led the way for the Bears (7-4), scoring 22 points on the night, including 10 of 13 in a 13-1 Chero kee Bluff run to start the third quarter. Corey Thomas added 13 for the Bears, including a couple of key put-back baskets early in the game. Cameron Gwyn scored 16, sinking four 3-pointers for Ches- tatee (10-4) in the loss. After the game, Neville said preparation was the key to Chero kee Bluff’s dominant effort. “We did what we’ve been prac ticing to do,” he said. “Coach Wood has prepared us. He’s been prepar ing us for this.” The Bears were clearly more ready than their opponents to start the game. Thomas got the scoring started on a put-back make about 30 sec onds in. Steals from Bosko Norman and Jaylon Justice on the following two Chestatee possessions led to two more quick baskets. Cherokee Bluff dominated defensively and on the offensive glass, scoring the first 12 points of the game before a Brenton Nich olson 3-pointer nearly halfway through the opening frame got Chestatee on the board. “I was really proud of the kids,” Wood said. “They came out and started strong.” The Bears pushed their first- half lead all the way to 17 points early in the second quarter before Chestatee started to respond. After Neville was assessed a technical for kicking the ball after a play, the War Eagles stole some of the momentum back, finishing the half on a 12-4 run that cut the deficit to seven points at halftime. But Neville came out of the break hot, stealing the opening inbound of the third quarter to score five seconds into the half and not slowing down throughout the frame, scoring eight of the next 11 Cherokee Bluff points. “We just knew we had to play defense, and my teammates were looking for me,” Neville said. “They were looking to get me the ball.” The Bears held Chestatee to three made shots from the field in the third quarter, and kept the defensive pressure up in the fourth as well. A 13-0 Cherokee Bluff run in the middle of the final frame — led by seven points from Norman — was too much for the War Eagles to overcome. “We try to pride ourselves on playing defense,” Wood said of his team’s lockdown performance in the second half. “We’re getting there. We’re a young school, first- year school, but I’m really proud of our kids. We really did a good job tonight.” CHEROKEE BLUFF GIRLS 78, JOHNSON 32: Freshman Timber Gaither poured in 19 points with six steals for Cherokee Bluff, and center Madi Phillips scored 13 as the Lady Bears (6-5) coasted. “I think it was good for us,” Cherokee Bluff coach Lindsay Jus tice said. “It was a good game to get everybody in and get everybody some minutes.” The Lady Bears were dominant from the beginning of the game, scoring the first 13 points of the opening quarter while forcing sev eral turnovers. A 12-3 run to end the period gave Cherokee Bluff an 18-point advantage after just eight minutes of play. The team didn’t slow down before the half. Gaither put in nine of her 19 points in the second quarter, including a pair of steals and breakaway layups on back-to- back Johnson possessions. Then, the Lady Bears outscored their opponents 25-5 in the third frame as they ran away with the blowout win. With the victory, Cherokee Bluff earns a matchup against top seed Flowery Branch in next week’s Lanierland tournament. “It’s very exciting,” Justice said. “The history of Lanierland is so rich. It’s a good environment. There’s nothing quite like the envi ronment of Lanierland. We’re really excited to earn the right to play in it.” ^NorthGeorgia Lml HomeHubesj Brought to you by: (the Sttnes gainesvilletimes.com To advertise contact Debra Cates at 770-535-6332 dcates@gainesvilletimes.com $338,000 $337,900 Gainesville 3396 Sweet Plum Trace Gainesville 3577 Cresswind Parkway 2 bed I 2 full bath 11852 sqft I Single Family Detached.Sought after ASHFORD floorplan in Cresswind at Lake Lanier w/ Finished Loft & level fenced yardiThis home features light & bright Kitchen w/ upgraded backsplash, granite counters, deep stainless sink, stainless appliances+refrigerator, pantry & breakfast bar.
