Parkersburg, W.V. Less than a month ago, Parkersburg South made his way with St. Albans in a 59–42 victory.
Remach and more important matchup came to PSHS on Wednesday, a class AAA sector IV, Section 2 semi -finals – and did not play anything like a January meeting.
Red Dragons made 14 -25–25 field-goes attempts on the last three quarters and scored 18 points from the free-thro line, while protectively excelled and put a clamp on Patriots in 55–43 road winnings.
Ricky Steel, head coach of Red Dragon, said, “They kicked our butts first in a year, but in the same game, we went for 11-2 runs in a time.” “So there were glimpses to correct it and we wanted to do it all the time. We had to execute and go where we wanted to be. We took good good from that loss, here said that we need to do better, what we have done here and we need to do so. ,
The result enables St. Elbans (15–7) to play in Parkersburg on Friday in a sectional title game. Despite the result, the red dragon is assured of a spot in the co-final in an area, with a state at stake with a tournament.
St. Elbans on Thursday spit aggressively for most of the early quarter, although the strong defensive game allowed the red dragon to tease and faced 8–6 deficit entering the second period.
From that point, St. Elbans executed much better aggressively, and it began with a continuous range bucket from Shayla Montgomery.
Montgomery soon added four free throw over several attempts, and its third field goal of the frame left the visitors with a 19–12 lead before Haftime.
Parkersburg South (15-8) then put together his best stretch of outing, one of which had four straight points from Lucy Clin Triple and Gracie Shamblin, which was also to achieve patriots at 19.
Nunu Penalna, a point guard of Red Dragon, scored the last four points of the half to send his team on a halftime with a 23–19 lead.
PSHS head coach Ed Davis said, “We had many opportunities in the game from the turnover and I am working hard to think about one, where we used to play when the game was still there,” said PSHS head coach Ed Davis. “We did not take advantage of those opportunities. Give them credit. He was entitled to win. ,
Montgomery and Shamblin had expected 10 points in the break, while the Red Dragon benefited in large parts for making 8 -off -10 free throw in the first two quarters.
In the third, St. Elbans received two-three-pointers from Senior Lenny Binian, who raised his play after a scoreless in the first half. The latter triple came into a direct response to the Shamblin tray and allowed SHS to lead 32–25. Shortly thereafter, Pannell’s mid-range jumper and Montgomery’s basket were first done to make double-figure margin in the post.
“I can’t say enough about Leny Binian and Shayla Montgomery,” Steel said. “They are two senior. If he wanted this to be his last game, then there was a way to play for it to become his last game. But both of them wanted to continue. You are senior and we have to ride with you. This is your time to shine. This is what you will remember for your lifetime. ,
SHS moved to fourth position in front of 36–26, although after the profit increased to 13, Shamblin connected the long distance to bring the Patriots within eight and scored the clin from inside.
Binian again gave a reply and knocked on the third three of the night, and Patriots did not find more than nine in the last 4 minutes.
The Pannell helped seal the game by creating a 10 -off -16 free throw for the key for 28 from the charity strip.
Montgomery made 5-9 shots and 8-to-10 free throw to score a team-high 18 points. Purnail added 14 points, six rebounds and five aid, while Binian scored 10 points.
“We try to make memories and that’s why we have a family atmosphere which we have. This is a memory, “Steel said. “They will miss it when they are 35, 40 years old. This is special. It does not matter much for many people, but it matters a lot to us. This is why it is. ,
Shamblin led all the players with 21 points, although he tried 21 out of 48 fields of Patriots. No other PSHS player scored more than six points, as the home team was held for 15-for-48 shoots and lost the rebounding battle 31-24.
Davis said, “They became relaxed and the relaxed man gave us problems.” “Once he got the lead, we were not a real patient and when we were sick and got good shots, he hardly went in and we were struggling with the floor. Give them credit. It was a good game plan and they got stuck for it. ,
