Girard 77 Reynolds 48

I arrived at the Hammermill Center to find the first game of tonights double header underway. Reynolds must have come out shooting as the first quarter was about half way over and they were up six nothing. Girard kicked it into gear and end the first quarter up 13 - 8. Reynolds would never regain the lead.

Reynolds started with the ball the second quarter but came up empty. #31 Droll for Girard opened the scoring by hitting a trey. Reynolds answered quickly with a three pointer of thier own. After exchanging 2 point baskets, Girard's #23Ferrick fed #15 Rickard an awesome back door pass. The Girard fans loved it. Reynolds called a timeout with the clock reading 4:11, the score was Girard 24, Reynolds 13. Reynolds called another timeout at 1:33 with Girard up 30 - 13. The half time score was Girard 33, Reynolds 13.

Reynolds came out in the third and started with a nice alley oop. However the Raiders called time with the clock at 3:07 as the Yellowjackets had outscored them by 10 points. Score 50 -20. Three pointers were plentiful from a host of Yellowjackets in the third quarter. Score at the end of three saw the Jackets on top 57-29.

Reynolds did not throw in the towel and their #23 Laverty had several long three pointers in the second half. A timeout was called at 6:28 in the 4th quarter with the score 59 - 35. Girard was forced to call timeout at 2:33 as they couldn't get the ball in bounds. The last minutes of the quarter saw several players come in off both benchs. The final score was Girard 77 and Reynolds 48.

I was unable to get a picture of the book so unfortunately I don't have the high scorer information. I am sure Reynold's #23 Laverty was right up there, he barely missed from beyond the 3 point line. The Raiders center, #20 Conley added a few 3 pointers of his own.

I really enjoy watching Girard's #23 Ferrick. He is definatley a force to be reckoned with. He's a rebounder, sets the pick to make the roll happen and just all out hustles. His presence is felt when he is on the court. Girard is playing well together as a team and has a great group of fans supporting them. Good luck!
