Of course, OC’s starters, Dylan Pulliam,
Clay Ogle, Quen Laguines, Jay Fleming and team captain Xavier Eberhart lead the
way for the Patriots. Along with OC’s
regular starters, Nick Mathews, Derk Jones, Jared Culver and Leonard Collins saw
considerable playing time.
The game was close from the get-go with
OC leading at the end of the first quarter by one 12-11. Laguines was the man for OC putting in eight
of OC’s 12 points. He had help from
Pulliam and Ogle.
By halftime OC was behind by four,
26-22. Ogle took over from Laguines
putting in five of OC’s ten second quarter points. Culver had a three pointer and Fleming, who
fought all night under the basket had two.
The Patriots put ten more on the board
in the third with Laguines again leading the way with five followed by Ogle
with a three pointer and Fleming with another two. OC was behind by only one at the start of the
fourth 33-32.
OC and Banks fought for each and every point
right to the final buzzer. Eberhart
finally got started and put five of OC’s seven fourth quarter points on the
board. Ogle had the final two. OC got the ball with only 2.5 seconds go to
but Eberhart’s long half court heave was just short resulting in OC’s one
basket loss to the Leopards.
Besides the scoring Fleming, Laguines
and Pulliam all had four rebounds each.
Laguines had a couple of steals, too.
OC faces Taliaferro Co (0-4) Friday
night at home Friday night at 7:30pm.
