North East 49 Girard 32
I arrived just at the end of the 2nd quarter as Girard was under their hoop trying to score. I looked up to see the score was 16 -17 Girard. Wow. Close, low scoring game.
I found a seat in a packed McComb and waited for the second half to begin.
Girard started the half with the ball and turned it over. North East took a shot, but missed, Girard board, North East steal finished with a foul and 2 shots from the line - both made. Girard took the ball down and had a nice drive but was unable to come up with the points to finish it off. North East's next possession was a long 3 point attempt. Girard attempted thier own three only to see the ball go in and out. North East scored their first points from the floor as #00 Szwejbka hit for two inside. Girard called time with the clock reading 6:19. North East's #00 Szwejbka was called on a blocking foul. Girard's #54 McDonald put up another 3 only to see it go in and out. The Pickers were unable to score on their next two possessions, however, Girard hauled down both boards an thier #31 Droll finally connected from three point land and #23 Ferrick was called on a charge. This was Ferrick's 3rd foul, he came out with 3:43 left to play in the 3rd. The Jackets #15 Rickard hit for 2 points, which would be the last they were to score of the quarter. The Pickers answered with two of their own and then #00 Szwejbka hit a loooong 3. Timeout was called with 2:16 to play, score North East 25, Girard 22. The Jackets went to #15 Rickard for a 3 point attempt. The Pickers answered with 2. Girard then turned the ball over on a 5 second call on the inbounds. Girard timeout called at 1:15 North East 29, Girard 22. The Pickers next possession saw #3 Meehl hitting a trey. As the final seconds were ticking down the Pickers #10 Triana made an awesome heads up play. He stole the ball and as he was going out of bounds lobbed the ball forward to his own player who was breaking down the court to add the last 2 points of the quarter. North East outscored Girard by 8 in the 3rd and never looked back. Score at the end of three North East 29, Girard 22.
Girard's #23 Ferrick checked back in to start the 4th quarter. North East came out and made quick work of adding 4 more to their lead. Girard time out at 7:13. Score 38-22. #23 Ferrick at the line hit both shots. North East hit 2 points inside. The Pickers #00 Szwejbka was called on a foul away from the ball. North East timout at 6:05, score 40-26.

North East's # 3 Meehl hit yet another 3 pointer and the Picker fans went wild. Ferrick then committed his 4th foul and came at with 2:46 left to play. He came back in with just over 2 minutes left in the game. Girard's #15 Rickard hit a long 3 and Girard called time with 1:52 left on the clock, score 43-31. Girard's #23 Ferrick fouled out to a standing "O" from his fans with the clock reading 1:28. The last minute saw both teams letting their benches finish up the game. Final Score Northeast 49, Girard 32.
This was obviously a hard fought game in the first half. I don't know what the diffence was between the halfs as I missed the first but North East came out on top. I know Ferrick was in foul trouble in the middle of the 3rd quarter and they just couldn't get anything to fall. I love watching both of the teams play and have watched them so much I don't even need a program anymore!
I don't typically chose a player of the game, but tonight I would give the BigSkinny player of the game honors to The Pickers #10 Triana for that awesome steal and lob pass as he was going out of bounds. Wow! The Pickers whole team can be commended for their phenominal passing abilities. They really are fun to watch.
Good Luck!
