What could be more fun than a game that is neck and neck till the
end? Being the winning team of that game!
What a great night of basketball at Siegel High School last night!
The Siegel Stars and the LaVergne Wolverines battled all night for the
top side of the score...final 67 - 65.
The game started with a free throw point of 1 for John A. Simpson
on this Senior Night. At the end of the first quarter, Siegel trailed
18-11. At the end of the second quarter, Siegel trailed 37-29. Before the
end of the third quarter, Ryan "Lilman" Jones put the Stars ahead by
one 42-41, and the end of the third quarter saw the Stars maintaining the lead
with a 49-46 score.
The fourth quarter was a battle. With a minute left in the
game, a shot by Dominique Gooch at the charity stripe put the Stars back to
their earlier 3-point lead.
This is where the win was secured by the Stars. It's
interesting to note: Gooch, Charles "Bird" Clark, Aden Burton,
and Damien Clark all shot and made their foul shots in that last minute.
LaVergne had an opportunity to do the same and did not make their shots.
The Stars held on to win by just two points. Free Throw Shots can
win or lose a game.
What a pleasure it was to watch so many Stars make their shots at
that line. It's like extra credit in the classroom: it's a bonus
that can change your score on a test or in a game. It's always nice to be
on the upside of the bonus.
