Varsity Basketball - OC vs Social Circle


Varsity Girls - The OC varsity girls came away with a close win from Social Circle Tuesday night at home 48-45. 

OC was pretty consistent throughout the game scoring between 12 and 14 point per quarter except for the 3rd in which they scored nine.  After the halftime break Social Circle made their greatest gain on the Patriots by scoring 14 3rd quarter points, thus going into the 4th quarter with a two point lead 36-34. 

        However, OC reversed the situation by allowing only nine Redskin 4th quarter points while scoring 14 of their own. 

        Perhaps the key play of the game was with 45 seconds left and only a two point difference, Jessica Pulliam stole the ball under the Redskin basket.  OC then moved the ball down to their end of the court where Latoria Royal was fouled with only 10 seconds left.  She made 1 for two from the foul line giving OC a three point lead.  SC had a bad throw-in resulting in Pulliam getting fouled.  Pulliam missed both free throws but they weren’t needed as time ran out giving OC a well-deserved win.

        On the night Royal had 19 points followed by Trenetta Smith with 17.  Pulliam had 8 points with three rebounds.  Jennah McElheney had two points with four rebounds.  Tanisha Eberheart and Morgan Dunsford both had three rebounds.  Smith also had six steals on the night three of which resulted in points. 

        OC improves to 3-9 overall and will face Union Co (5-4 – Max Preps) on Friday, January 11 at 7pm.

Varsity Boys – The varsity boys had a stellar night against Social Circle Tuesday night defeating the Redskins 61-25. 

        The Patriots came out of the blocks on a run scoring a season high 23 first quarter points to SC’s five.  OC slowed down some in the second quarter scoring only nine but held SC to just another five points.  OC went into the halftime break ahead 32-10. 

        OC’s players seemed to show more confidence in this game starting in the first quarter when Clay Ogle scored two, three-pointers.  Dylan Pulliam followed with a three-pointer of his own.  Tay Watkins, Quen Laguines, Nick Mathews and Xavier Eberhart all had a basket.  Jim Beatty had a first quarter basket as well as four for four from the free throw line.  In fact, on the night OC was 12 for 13 from the foul line, which is not something they normally do. 

        OC came out in the third quarter allowing Social Circle only five more points while scoring 21 of their own.  The fourth quarter saw OC put only 8 more points on the board while the Redskins got ten points. 

        Coach Derricotte put everyone in the ballgame Tuesday and the points were spread out over nine players.  Clay Ogle was once again high scorer for OC with 14; he was followed by Jim Beatty with 10.  Xavier Eberhart had nine, Quen Laguines was close behind with 8.  Dylan Pulliam put in 7 points ad did Jay Fleming who was also OC’s top rebounder for the night.  Tay Watkins, Nick Mathews and Nathan Mallonee had two.  Lenard Collins, Tanner Bowman, Jarrett McElheney and Matt Beyatt found court time last night in OC’s win.
