Girls basketball, 1/20/10: #5 HS 60, #6 M’Brook 51

What a difference a player can make.

Saddle with three fouls in the first half, Highland Springs’ Kyra Coleman returned to lead the Springers to a 60-51 victory over Meadowbrook Wednesday night in a nondistrict bout.

The sensational senior got off to a hot start, scoring nine points in a 24-11 first quarter in favor of Highland Springs. But with 5:13 left in the second period, Coleman picked up her third foul as Highland Springs led 27-16.

Meadowbrook, ranked sixth in the latest DigitalSports Top 10, would go on a 13-0 run as all Coleman could do was sit and watch.

That was until the third quarter, where she ripped off seven points in a 9-2 run No. 5 Highland Springs had to start the second half.

Coleman would finish with a game-high 20 points, Marquia Jones 12 and Qunisha Cannon 10 as the Springers would lead by two possessions or more the rest of the way.

“She’s the catalyst for the team,” Highland Springs coach Franklin Harris said of Coleman. “When you take a [Division I] prospect out and you really don’t have anybody at that moment that is really ready to step back up and play …

“She comes in in the third, it’s different. You’ve got all your firepower. You’ve got your stud out there. It’s more mental. We’re back, she’s back on the floor, let’s go play.”

It’s more physical for the Monarchs.

Coach Mike Knight has been pleading for more strong play from his Monarchs the entire season, especially in the paint. But Highland Springs was the aggressor, making almost three times as many free throws (18) as Meadowbrook took (7).

Torie Cunningham had 12 points on her terrific speed and knifes to the basket, and Ashley Pegram threw in 11 for Knight.

“We’ve got to show a little more toughness,” Knight said. “Whenever things start going bad for us we’ve got to start being more tough. The game was won on rebounds and free throws. All of the 50-50 balls they got, we didn’t get any hustle points.”

Meadowbrook 11 20 5 15 – 51
H. Springs 24 7 14 15 – 60
Meadowbrook (9-5): Howard 0, Pegram 11, Cunningham 12, Stone 0, Kiara Marks 8, Katrina Marks 6, Coleman 8, Arrington 6. Totals: 22 3-7 51. 3-point goals: Pegram 2, Coleman 2.
Highland Springs (12-3): Jones 12, Jeffries 5, Dabney 4, Dickerson 0, Jenkins 0, Coleman 20, Cannon 10, Tinsley 9. Totals: 19 18-25 3-point goals: Tinsley 2, Jones, Jeffries.

Lawson Jr. Classic, 1/15/10

Posted on 15 January 2010 by .

The William Lawson Jr. Midseason Classic is back for another run.

After a sellout crowd that turned away patrons in 2009, the five-game invitational returns again with heavy hitters and interesting matchups.

The nightcap is the biggie, Benedictine, the state private-school power, heads into Petersburg to face the Crimson Wave, ranked No. 1 in the DigitalSports Top 10 and the latest state Group AAA poll.

That game is set to begin at 8 p.m., but four more games precede it, all at Petersburg High.

Kestrel Heights out of Durham, N.C., faces Evangel Christian and terrific 6-8 junior Kion Brown to kick things off at noon.

Then Group AA power Greensville takes on the Central District, Group AAA member Matoaca.

At 4 p.m., another Group AA power, Brunswick, led by former NBA player and alum Bryant Stith will face Meadowbrook, a state tournament hopeful in Group AAA, ranked sixth in the DigitalSports Top 10.

The Monarchs will host Petersburg on Friday, the day before Marques Carter‘s event.

Then at 6 p.m., Wake Forest-bound Travis McKie will lead John Marshall, No. 5 in the DS Top 10, against KIMA of Washington, D.C., who boast George Mason recruit Jonathan Arledge.

Tickets for the Carter Creates Classic are $10. Go to www.williamlawsonclassic.com for more information.

“I’m extremely excited about the Classic this year,” Carter said. “I think this one will be better than last year’s event. I’m pretty excited about an overall great day of basketball.”
