From LBPOSTSports.com: After the Millikan Rams shocked many by defeating the Wilson Bruins last week, it looked as though they could be a surprising contender in the Moore League.
But the first-place Poly Jackrabbits were not surprised in the least, pressuring the Millikan guards from end to end and outrebounding the Rams by 20 in their 60-41 victory. But the true blueprint for victory won’t show up in the box score.
Two Poly guards, senior Michael Mayes and sophomore Alexis Moore, keyed the defensive attack with relentless end-to-end pressure that led to several Ram turnovers and easy Jackrabbit baskets. Moore led fast breaks en route to four assists while Mayes finished with four steals.
“I thought that was what changed the game,” Poly head coach Sharrief Metoyer said of his team’s disruptive defense. Center Julian Camper led the Jackrabbits with 22 points, but scored thirteen in the second half when the game was already out of reach. He also added eight rebounds as Poly won the war on the boards, 34-14.
