Welcome back everyone!!
It was a packed house this evening, as students, alumni, faculty, staff and parents gathered for the christening of the 2011-12 basketball season.
Maumee Valley used balanced scoring and second half pressure defense to go 1-0 on the young season tonight, pulling away from the Fayette Eagles in the fourth quarter.
The Hawks led by three at the half on the strength of Rick Deichert's 12 points. Jared Sturt encountered some early foul trouble and was forced to miss much of the second quarter.
His return in the second half was more than the Purple and Gold visitors could handle, as they fouled Jared three times in the first minute of the third. Jared's presence underneath combined with a stifling MV press was the difference maker, as the home team extended their lead to five at the end of the third, then wore the visitors down at the end to finish the game up 11.
Scoring was balanced for the Hawks this evening - Jared, with 10 in the second half led the way with 14, Rick - 12, Julius Turner - 10, Jonathan Krueger 8 and Dave Brown 6.
The JV's lost a 31-30 heartbreaker in the prelim., almost overcoming a 7 point deficit with under 1:30. JV scoring - Marcus Knabbs 7, Lucas Isaza 5, Solomon Collins, Rashaan Preston and Robbie Ariss 4 each, Nick Towns 3, and Truth Foreman 2.
Next up for the Hawks, a neighborhood road trip to Monclova Christian Tuesday December 6, 2011.
