MATOACA – Darien Brothers of Benedictine poured in 28 points to lead the North to a 113-99 victory in the sixth annual 804 All-Star Game Saturday night at Matoaca High School.

The North took a 30-29 lead on Josh Brinkley‘s third slam of the game. The Douglas Freeman star had four slams on the contest on his way to 19 points.
The Delaware-bound 6-5 forward was tremendous in the paint.
Petersburg’s Cadarian Raines caught two alley-oops to give the South leads, one from slam dunk champion Evans (67-66) and another from Matoaca’s Brandon Coleman (86-83).
But right after, Freeman’s Jake Eastman buried a 3-pointer as the East trailed by one going into the fourth quarter – which was all North.

A worthy cause has been added to the 804 All-Star Basketball Game on Saturday, April 4.
A Hopewell student, Kionna Jones, who has been paralyzed for two years after being shot in the neck by a male trying to take her sunglasses.
Petersburg native and 804’s Organizer Antywone Wilson found out about her tough situation and the Kionna Jones Fund is started.
“After taking a week to think of how I can help, I eventually went back to Hopewell to tell Ms. [Natalie] White [Wilson’s former teacher, now assistant principal at Hopewell] how it would be a great opportunity to raise money for Kionna at the 804 all-star game,” Wilson wrote in an email. “An event where we could ask a lot of people to donate a small amount to the Kionna Jones Fund.
“My goal is to get every person at the all-star game to donate $1. Every single dollar raised will go towards purchasing some of the things she needs and wants that her struggling family can not afford.”
A letter written by Jones’ mother can be read by scrolling to the bottom of this article.
Several local companies and well-known figures, like Terry Sisiski, have stepped forward to make a difference already.
There will also be an auction of tickets to events and other
memoribilia, proceeds of which will all go to the Kionna Jones Fund.
As for the game, the festivities will begin at 7 p.m. at Matoaca High School at 17700 Longhouse Lane, Chesterfield, VA 23838.
A 3-point contest will be first, followed by a dunk contest and ending with the game.
Dunk participants are: Chris Evans of Petersburg, Maurice Johnson of John Marshall, Douglas Freeman’s Josh Brinkley, Bird’s J’Quan Martin and Brandon Coleman of Matoaca.
3-point contest participants are: Doug Brewer of Meadowbrook, Drejon Scott of Petersburg and Huguenot’s David Brown, Douglas Freeman’s Jake Eastman, John Marshall’s Randall Ward and Benedictine’s Darien Brothers.
Tickets are $10 in advance at Richmond-area DTLR locations. Tickets at the door will be $12.
If you have any questions about the event, email Wilson at 804allstargame@gmail.com or visit www.804allstargame.com.
Check out six of the players on iPower 92 FM tonight around 9 p.m. to talk about the game.
