St. E's - Smyrna

[J12]

Smyrna up 14-6 end of 1st.

Nwankwo w/ 4 blocks in the 1st quarter but picked up 2 his second foul w/ 3:20 left before heading to the bench.

 

[J12]

Smyrna leads 29-20 at the half after Matthews buries his 3rd 3 of the game just before the buzzer. Turnovers were killing St. E's early. Purnell is doing a good job on Money so far being physical & holding him to 1 field goal that came on a layup in transition. Nwankwo never returned & could be a huge difference in the second half. Money will have to step up for St. E's to have a chance in this one because it doesn't look like he has much help.

I'm not sure if Smyrna's starting point guard Richardson is hurt or what, he is dressed but didn't play the entire first half & they could have used him when St. E's press forced three straight turnovers late in the first half.

Thanks for the updates j12, keep them coming

 

[J12]

Smyrna up 43-35 after 3. St. E's will stay in the game if Smyrna keep being soft w/ the ball turning it over. Money may scored about 10 in the 3rd.

 

[J12]

45-40 Smyrna 5:12 left but they continue to turn the ball over & still starting point guard Richardson still on bench. I'm assuming he is being disciplined at this point but Smyrna VERY vulnerable against pressure w/o him.

I like St E chances 5 down with 5 to go, how's Smyrna like at the line, free throws

 

[J12]

They have been OK at the free throw line but have blown at least 10-15 layups.

50-42 2:54 left.

You haven't mentioned Garnett, how's his game look

 

[84rider]

Appreciate your feedback

Garnett has played solid outside of a few bad turnovers. He consistently gives Smyrna a double-double & did the same tonight...if I had to guess I'd say he has about 18-20.

Smyrna wins 65-49.
