DeMatha – 69
John Marshall – 65
Nationally-ranked DeMatha Catholic from Maryland and John Marshall
from the Colonial District played in the game of the night.
The Stags
topped the Justices in a game that featured Texas A&M commit
Naji Hibbert (No. 88 in the class of ’09 by Rivals) and a slew of other
nationally-ranked underclassmen from DeMatha.
The Justices did more
than hold their own. Travis McKie of JM led the team in scoring with 21
points, pulled down 12 rebounds and added a highlight alley-oop from
teammate Randall Ward in the first half.
Maurice Johnson had 12 points
and Tahir Little chipped in 11 for JM in the Varina transfer’s first game for the Justices.
It was more than a valiant
effort from the Justices but, in the end, the depth of talent for
DeMatha proved to be too much for JM.
Henrico – 53
Norfolk Christian – 49
In a game that featured arguably the top two sophomores in the state of Virginia, the Capital District’s own Henrico topped the visitors from the 757 53-49.
James McAdoo (the No. 4 rated player in the nation in the class of 2011 by Rivals.com) and Trey Davis did battle in front of Clemson head coach Oliver Purnell and other coaches from Virginia and Duke, respectively.
McAdoo dropped in 21 points, but Davis (12 points, 11 rebounds) got what really mattered, the win. Kris Walden led the Warriors with 15 points in the game.
Atlantic Shores – 85
Deep Run – 62
The Seahawks of Atlantic Shores proved to be too much of a challenge for the Wildcats of Deep Run.
In a game that featured Oklahoma commit Steven Pledger (No. 136 in the class of ’09 by Rivals) and Duke commit Andre Dawkins (#34 in the class of ’10 by Rivals) from Atlantic Shores, their teammate Brandon Britt stole the show.
Britt hit 10 of 14 shots from deep and finished the game with 35 points. Deep Run kept the game close and was only down by 10 at the half, but the phenomenal shooting from the Seahawks was just too much.
Antone Exum led Deep Run with 31 points and Michael Dosh added 11 for the proverbial home team.
Benedictine – 63
Courtland – 54
Darien Brothers poured in 26 points as the Cadets knocked off Courtland, only the Group AA school’s second loss of the season.
Erik Moody added 17 points for Benedictine.
