W [59-39] @ Watkinson
A rushed afternoon led to a dominant victory on Tuesday as the TMS Lions defeated Watkinson 59-39 behind Player of the Game Eli Armstrong's 24 points!
Master's locked it down from the opening minute, swarming Watkinson on a defense and turning those posessions into quick baskets. Eli's shot was falling, with the Lions guard scoring 9 in the first quarter, but quick ball movement remained the team's strongest weapon as five Lions (Eli Armstrong, Ben Frey (13 pts), Cam Peters (4 pts), Isaac Earnest (8 pts), and Patty Marcolesco (4 pts) got on the board in the first. Patty (2 steals, 2 blocks) was Masters' defensive anchor in the first, clogging up passing lanes and stifling players at the rim.
A big second quarter (16 pts) from the home team closed the gap at halftime, but the Lions still held on to a sizeable lead. Masters had scored all but one first half basket at the rim, often finding acrobatic ways to lay it in over Watkinson's big man.
Watkinson adjusted their defense in the second half, clogging the paint, but Masters responded by pouring in four 3s to open the half and make their victory all but a certainty, leading 49-33 by the end of the third.
Despite Eli's huge offensive output, this victory really was a team effort. LunaKai Decker played aggressive defense, while Evan Ellrod also chased his mark with commendable determination. JD Beebe (2 pts, 2 steals) and Noah Piela (4 pts) contributed mightily off the bench. Reagan Luchina played all eight minutes of the final quarter, opening up the lane for Masters with his excellent footwork and playing his role to perfection as a part of the Lions' offense.
Great game boys!
