The
St.
Christopher
Cyclones got
the ball
down low and
to the
basket in
their 41-20
victory over
the SCITS
Blue Bombers
Tuesday
afternoon at
SCITS.
The Cyclones
moved the
ball around
and fed it
down low to
their big
men under
the room,
who put the
ball off the
glass and
back of the
rim for an
easy two
points. The
Cyclones
used this
system for
much of the
game, with
Sam Ellenor
getting his
fair share
of chances
down low in
the paint.
St.
Christopher's
also battled
hard on the
boards,
getting
their own
rebounds and
putting them
back up for
two, while
also coming
down with
SCITS
misses, and
start a fast
break,
The Cyclones
took a 13-6
lead in the
first
quarter.
Jadon
Harrison got
in on the
down low
play of the
Cyclones,
while Cary
Brown hit a
three
pointer to
help give
the Cyclones
an opening
lead. More
of the same
happened in
the second
quarter, as
Josh Elsley
hit a three
pointer, and
fed Cyclones
in the paint
to pick up
assists.
SCITS would
get some
offence from
C. Sodew,
but the
Cyclones
would
continue
their
pressure,
adding
another
three
pointer from
Richael
O'Neill for
a 26-9 lead
at the half.
SCITS would
work the
ball low
themselves
in the
second hald,
as K. Smith
would get
low and put
in two. V.
Liang would
add two plus
an extra on
the foul to
start to cut
the lead the
Cyclones had
created. But
SCITS would
turn the
ball over,
and the
Cyclones
would
continue to
put in
points to
keep their
lead.
By the
fourth,
MacIntyre
Font would
get in on
the in the
paint play,
as the small
shooting
guard got
inside the
Blue
Bomberdefenders
and put up
six points
in the
fourth
quarter.
Waltham and
Rand would
get points
for the
Bombers, but
they would
not be able
to crawl
back as the
Cyclones
take it
41-20.
The Cyclones
managed to
cause many
turnovers,
as they
would put
pressure on
the ball
carrier as
soon as he
crossed the
half court
line, often
causing the
carrier to
stop
dribbling
and be
double
teamed,
which would
result in
blind passes
that the
Cyclones
picked up.
St.
Christopher's
next takes
on Northern
at home on
Thursday,
while SCITS
travels out
to Petrolia
to take on
LCCVI.
