PHS Basketball, Team FYN Sports

Last night, the PHS Dragons varsity basketball team hosted the Bruins of Northwest Whitfield. After falling in heartbreaking fashion to Heritage, Pickens looked to get a big region win.

 

Early on in the ball game, the Dragons grabbed early momentum thanks to a thundering Tyler Garner breakaway dunk. The Bruins offense however kicked in thanks to a handful of threes. Northwest Whitfield took a 32-11 lead into the 2nd. In the 2nd, both teams kept trading buckets. The Bruins outscored Pickens 22-20, to take a 54-31 lead into the half.

 

In the 3rd quarter, Northwest Whitfield used a 20-10 run to stretch out their lead. Going to the 4th, it would be 74-41. The Bruins closed things out and came away with the win, 85-47.

 

Leading the way for the Dragons were:

Holden Roop: 16 points, & 2 rebounds

Tyler Garner: 8 points, 1 assist, 5 rebounds, & 2 blocks

Trent Rizoti: 6 points, 7 rebounds, & 2 steals

Avery Luke: 6 points, 1 assist, 2 rebounds, & 1 steal

Sam Davis: 3 points, 3 rebounds, & 1 steal

 

The Dragons will look to get back on track as they take to the road this Friday night battling the Southeast Whitfield Raiders in a crucial region game. The Raiders are ahead of the Dragons in the standings, but Pickens has a win over Southeast and a sweep will go a long way in determining seeding. Tip off scheduled for 8:30 p.m.
