Lanierland Day 2 Recap

North Hall 46, Gainesville 43
Recap: Kenny and I arrived late in the 4th qtr but we were there for the best part of the game as NH & GHS battled for a W. Honestly, the game seems like forever ago and it hard to remember exactly what happened. Anyway, it was a victory for NH and they will take on #1 seed East Hall on Friday at Chestatee.

Lakeview 93, Johnson 85
Recap: In what was the best game of the tournament, Lakeview battled back from 16 down at one point to pull out an overtime win. This game took forever thanks in part to lots of turnovers, fouls, & some exciting overtime play. Johnson was in full control going into halftime but thanks in part to an inspring halftime speech by Coach Vining, Lakeview rallied to close the deficit to be only down 67-61 going into the 4th qtr. Lakeview had a shot at winning leading 77-76 with 10 seconds left they turned the ball over. After a questionable foul, # 33 for Johnson hit 1 of 2 free throws to tie the game. Lakeview would actually turn the ball over again with 1.3 seconds but a desparation shot by JHS wouldn't fall. Lakeview would score first in overtime and JHS couldn't get anything going on offense. Lakeview would hit their free throws down the stretch to pull off one the biggest wins in school history.

East Hall 60, West Hall 37
Recap: West Hall battled in the 1st qtr and actually led 2 minutes into the 2nd but EH finally got on track as WH turned the ball over numerous times and EH pounded the ball inside for numerous easy baskets. It seemed like no one wanted to shoot for WH as they simply passed the ball around until they would turn the ball over. EH's inside game was the difference in this one. They now move on to take on North Hall on Friday.

East Hall 87, Flowery Branch 61
Recap: EH started the game on a 16-3 run but FB would battle back to close within 8 points at one point in the 2nd qtr before Walter Hill took over the game. He had 2 thunderous dunks in the 1st half in which they would stretch the lead to 44-32 at the half. In the 3rd qtr, the Vikings would pull away for a blowout win. They will face Lakeview on Friday.

Coming soon: I've got some great pics from yesterday's action......
