NORTHWEST GUILFORD 67
R.J. REYNOLDS 64
GAME NOTES:
–Northwest Guilford and R.J. Reynolds played a high level high school basketball game in the second round of the State 4A playoffs. The Demons used hot shooting and aggressive offensive rebounding to control the game throughout the 1st half on their way to a 13 point halftime lead. The 2nd half proved to be another story as the Vikings put together a number of defensive stops to cut their deficit to a mere three points going into the 4th quarter. The final stanza was played at a back and forth pace in a raucous environment as the fan bases for both teams provided tremendous support to their squads. In the end, the Vikings came all the way back and forced overtime with a 60-60 score. Northwest refused to let their season end and controlled the extra frame to secure a 67-64 victory. Reynolds’ staff and players should be commended for a heck of a season and a great effort in a 2nd round game.
–Tre Turner led Northwest with 29 points and 4 steals. Thomas Hennigan once again provided a huge spark off the bench as he contributed 14 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals for the Vikings. Northwest Senior, Jaylen Gore, finished with 7 points, 7 assists, and 5 steals while Jalen Spicer had 7 points, 8 assists, and 3 steals. Reggie Davis also chipped in with 7 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists for Northwest.
–Chris Freeman and Akia Pruitt scored 16 and 15 points respectively for Reynolds while Tim Henry added 13 points.
