Feb 3: Cane and Elks ... it's over

Tuesday, 03 February 2009

Clutch free throws late by Rollins and HEard help WIlmington to a 54-49 win over Centerville on a big night for the hurricane. WHS ranked NO. 3 in Div. II and Centerville ranked No. 15 in Div. I. This is huge for the WHS tournament draw coming up Sunday.

Now can WHS bounce back from this game, this atmosphere on Friday night against Kings. We'll have that one right here on OLR.

4:12 to play WHS up 7, 43-36.

WHS 37 Centerville 34 after three. Wollins and Williams with 4 each in the third. Ashworth had 7 for the Elks in the period.

WHS survived much of the quarter with Rollins on the bench with 3 fouls.

What a game. WHS 24 Centerville 21 at the break. WHS hit 4 three pointers in the second, the last of which was a bomb from the left wing by Osterbrock in the final seconds to give WHS a three point lead.

Kavanaugh has just thre. BLakeman has 5 and Williams 6 to lead WHS.

WHS 7, Centerville 5 after one period. The large crowd is really seeing a big time game. Teams a little sluggish early but not playingpoorly so we'll see how things develop as the game unfolds and the teams get more comfortable.

The officials are here and received a standing ovation ... Will it be the only one of the night for the men in stripes? We shall see. Tip time is set for 8:02 p.m.

The Wilmington Hurricane and the Centerville Elks are ready to get underway at the middle school gym. The officials are coming from Cincinnati and are running a bit late otherwise this game would have started by now. Probably looking at 8 pm tipoff. I'll keep you posted.
