Garfield 118, Wilson 80 3A Boys

Can you imagine scoring 80 points in a game including going 61% from behind the arc going 13 for 21 and being concerned of falling behind by 40 kicking in the running clock? That is what the Wilson Rams had to avoid in our finale of the Regional round of the Hardwood Classic. The Garfield Bulldogs were simply an offensive machine think about scoring 118 points in just 32-minutes. The Bulldogs would launch 27 3-point attempts but hit on 10 but they would shoot a blistering 57% from the field hitting 41 of 71 shots.

Let’s just look at the math of that, 71 shots in 32 minutes that’s about taking 1 shot every 27 seconds and remember you still have to factor in defense. The Rams took 50 shots themselves and hit 52% going 26-50 for a total of 121 attempted shots. That’s nearly a shot every 15-seconds!

The scoring came quick and early for Garfield scoring rolling up 33 1st quarter points taking a 22 point lead. The Rams would knock down 26 in the 2nd quarter but still lose ground as Garfield cooled off with just 29 for a 62-37 halftime lead. The Rams would match the Bulldogs in the 3rd each with 26 but Garfield would again hit 30 in the 4th outscoring Wilson by 13 for the final margin.

The scoring was well spread out for Garfield with 8 different players scoring and 7 in double figures. Wilson also had in the scorebook and 5 in double figures. Leading the Bulldogs by ESN numbers were Terrell Brown and Alphonso Anderson each with 20 and Jaylen Nowell with 19. For the Rams David Jenkins had 19, Nate Fisher 17 and Anthony Stokes 16. The Bulldogs are off to the Tacoma Dome in search of their 3rd straight title while the Rams loss marked the end of quite a run for the Seniors led by David Jenkins and Montre Brown-Lofton.

Our Tommy Lowe of the Greene Realty Group Players of the Game were Terrell Brown for Garfield and David Jenkins for Wilson. Our ProActive Physical Therapy Play of the Game went to Garfield’s Daejon Davis who made an acrobatic save flinging the ball near mid-court to PJ Fuller who then passed it back to Davis who then drained a 3.

Scoring

Garfield: Anderson 20, Brown 20, Nowell 19, Brooks 14, Walker 13, Davis, 12, Agosto 11, Fuller 9

Wilson: Jenkins 19, Fisher 17, A Stokes 16, Brown-Lofton 11, Mathews 11, Kelly 2, Garrison 2, N Stokes 2
