Kings vs. Sycamore Freshman. By Jackson Schueler The first quarter started with Nathan Pucke winning the tipoff and scoring quickly off the tip. After that, Brent Mathias received the ball and made a jump shot and drew a foul. Then Brent got a steal leading to another Nathan Pucke bucket and the foul. He made the foul shot bringing the score to 8-0, Kings with the lead. Max Lerer scored and drew a foul. Number twenty on Sycamore made a jumper in which Max responded with his own jumper which ended the quarter with a score of 14 to 4, with a large lead by Kings. David Hare started in the second quarter and sunk a quick shot. Michael King got a high rebound and put the shot back up for two points. Max Lerer drained another jumper in the second. Austin, much like Michael, got a rebound and the shot. The half ended with the score 22 to 7. Ryan Anthony started the third quarter with a rebound and the shot. Austin Copeland was fouled and made 1 of the 2 shots. Austin drove in through the defense and made the layup. Back on defense, Austin got a steal and passed to Max for the shot and the made foul shot. Nick Wolf dropped back on defense and got a charge which gave Kings the ball back. Number thirty two was called for the charge, causing him to foul out and receive a technical. Michael King shot the foul shots for the technical and made 1 of 2. This ended the quarter with the score 34 to 9. The fourth quarter started with a Drew Schueler pass to Michael King for a foul shot. He made 1 of the 2 shots. Michael went up for the rebound and put the shot back up for two points. Michael then passed to Nick Jenkins for a jump shot. Drew stole the ball from Sycamore’s point guard and drove in for a layup. The final score of this Kings great win was 41 to 22. After the game I talked with Coach McClung and he said “We came out hot with a lot of steals and easy buckets in transition. I like the way our defense played, but on offense we were struggling and need to improve. A great defensive effort carried us through this game.” McClung also said that Kings needs to improve on foul shots after going 7 of 17 from the free throw line. Kings’ record is now 4 and 2 and will change on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 as Kings plays Wilmington. Stats: Drew Schueler, David Hare and Nick Jenkins scored 2 points each. Brent Mathias and Ryan Anthony each scored 4 points, Nathan Pucke had 5 points, while Michael King scored 6 points, Austin Copeland had 7 points, and Max Lerer had 9 points.
