Royal Worm Creative Enterprises: January 2018

Scarborough's boys basketball team knocked off Wheatley, 62-50 at Delmar Fieldhouse on Saturday. The win gives the Spartans a 3-2 record in district play. I have not seen confirmation, but I think Scarborough is third in District 24-4A at the moment.

Here are a few thoughts on the game:

1. Great Free Throw Shooting is Crucial- The Spartans took the lead early and kept building on it. One of the keys to their success was their free throw shooting. They only made 1 of 4 free shots in the first quarter. After that, Scarborough made all 16 of their attempts.

2. Quinton Hudson- The senior guard was scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half, leading the team to a nine-point lead at the intermission. In the third quarter and early fourth quarter, Hudson helped the Spartans consistently break Wheatley's full court press. This allowed other players to score baskets after the press was broken.

3. Noah Smith- Smith was the primary beneficiary when Scarborough broke Wheatley's press. He has 19 points in the second half(27 for the game). Wheatley struggled to slow down the junior, who made his final seven free throws.

The Spartans have seven regular season games remaining.

Note: Information about a make up of the January 17 game Kashmere is yet to be announced.
