A 94-42 win in the nightcap by the Clarkston Angoras completed a sweep of the Cross Keys Indians on Senior Night at Clarkston on Tuesday in non-region basketball action.
Clarkston (4-18) went on a 17-0 run in the final 4:01 of the first quarter as five different players scored for the Angoras, including two three-pointers by Perry Osakue and Jonathan McBride hit three of his 11 first quarter points, to take a 30-5 lead into the second quarter.
Six Angoras put points on the board in a 23-point second quarter including back-to-back offensive put backs by Meir Abojong and Lawrence Reeves in the final 17 seconds to extend the advantage to 52-16 at the break.
Christian Holmes had a pair of drives in the final 1:08 of the first half to help the Indians (4-18) to finish with the 16 points in half.
The offensive prowess continued in the third period for the Angoras as Reeves hit two threes and tallied 10 points in a 25-point period for the Angoras. A steal and pass up court from Na’Shaun Porter to Jonathan McBride with under 20 seconds left in the quarter made it 78-32 with one quarter remaining.
Cross Keys got hot from the three-point arc in the third quarter as Analdo Lanza hit two of the four threes in the quarter and added an old fashioned three-point play. Christian Holmes and Geronimo Edwards both added a three to the Indians’ cause.
The teams finished the final six minutes quietly as Abojong scored the 90th point for Clarkston on a layup with 1:09 to play.
McBride finished the night with 25 points to lead Clarkston and was joined in double figures by Lawrence Reeves with 16 points, Na’Shaun Porter with 13 points and 10 points each from Perry Osakue and Germayne Curry.
Analdo Lanzar collected 16 points to lead the Indians and Christian Holmes added 12.
