PANTHERS-48    TERRAPINS-34    2/28/02

With the unrelenting support of his teammates behind him, Joel Davidson led the Panthers to victory in the Middle League Championship game.   Davidson powered the Panthers with his 25 pts. and dominance under the boards in this hard fought contest.   The score remained tied at halftime, but the Panthers were again able to put together a strong second half of play by dominating on the boards and buckling down on defense.   Besides Davidson, other scorers for the Panthers were Jared Carter and David Anglin (1 pt.), Ben Weaver (8 pts.), Kyle Hutchinson (2 pts.), Matt Hopkins (5 pts.) and Luke Alexander (4 pts.).   Weaver did a great job following his shot and Carter played outstanding defense and helped contain Prica.   Luke Alexander played his best game of the season and Dan LaLumiere and Chris Poore hustled all game long.

The Terrapins kept the game close with outstanding defense and some excellent passing.   They were led by the aggessive play of Josh Prica (11 pts.) and some good outside shooting by Danny McCaslin (8 pts.). Justin McLauren added 7 pts. to the effort.   Other scorers for the Terps were A.J. Witcher (4 pts.) and Zach Parker and Kyle Howard, each with 2 pts. The Panthers were successful in controlling the key and keeping drives by Prica, McCaslin and McLaurin to a minimum.
Congratulations to the Terps, the most improved team in the Middle League, for being great competitors and to the Panthers for playing tough, team ball all season long!

PANTHERS-42    CAVALIERS-34
The Panthers eeked out a victory over a Cavs team that refused to be rattled by their opponent's defensive effort. The Cavs remained unflappable and steady throughout the game, mostly due to an inpenatrable low post defense and good team play. They held the lead throughout most of the first half of play and it wasn't until a 3rd quarter surge by the Panthers that the lead changed hands by a slim 2 pts. Again, it was the tenacious play of Joel Davidson that tipped this game in favor of the Panthers. Davidson (18 pts.) had his hands full with Karlos Llanos (6pts.), but nonetheless made his presence known in the paint. Kyle Hutchinson (5 pts.) had perhaps his best game to date, playing outstanding defense and always managing to be at the right place at the right time. Five other Panthers were in the scoring column; Jared Carter (5 pts.), Ben Weaver, Luke Alexander and Dan LaLumiere (2 pts.) and Matt Hopkins (8 pts.). Alexander played his best defense to date, never giving up. David Anglin and Chris Poore supported their team with great hustle and solid defense. C.J. Sapong led the Cavs with 10 pts. and some athletic offensive play. Also scoring for the Cavs were Tim Guiden (6 pts.), Marcus Wiggins (2 pts.), Allen Windsor (7 pts.) and Jacob Norman (3 pts.). Both teams are commended for their outstanding team play; all together, 13 players put points on the board.

PANTHERS-56    HOKIES-46    2/25/02
In this very exciting game that extended into overtime, both Ishmael Sesay and Joel Davidson stepped up for their respective teams, scoring 31 and 28 pts. respectively. Despite an emphasis on strong defensive play, the Panthers were unable to contain the very determined Sesay, who went hard to the basket on many occasions. Sesay also made an outstanding effort under the boards, grabbing several rebounds, many off his own shots. Once again, however, it was the Panthers' 'Mr. Clutch', Matt Hopkins, who saved the day. After a costly foul late in the game that allowed Roger Leinenbach to put the Hokies a point ahead with only seconds to play, Hopkins (12 pts.) came back a few seconds later to draw a foul and make a free throw to tie the game and send it into overtime. To the Panthers fortune, Sesay fouled out in O.T., allowing the Panthers to pull ahead for the victory. Additional scorers for the Panthers were Jared Carter (5 pts.), Ben Weaver and Dan LaLumiere (4 pts.), Luke Alexander (2 pts.) and Chris Poore (1 pt.). Kyle Hutchinson again showed excellent court presence and David Anglin proved that he was willing to sacrifice his body for his team by setting some great picks. For the Hokies, both Leinenbach brothers played an great game. Roger (14 pts.) was very impressive on the foul line and under the boards with his assertive play. Despite being held scoreless, Brian contributed a great deal to his team's effort. His defense was outstanding and he provoked several turnovers by the Panthers with his relentless hustle. Mike Clarke scored a point for the Hokies. Special congratulations to Davidson and Sesay for their excellent offensive play and to Matt Hopkins for remaining calm under pressure and breathing life into his team. This was a great game!

The Panthers put forth their best team effort to date in this very exciting game against a formidable Cavs team.

The Cavs proved to be very explosive and C. J. Sapong led all scorers with 16 pts. Sapong had an outstanding game and almost single-handedly brought his team back in the 4th quarter, scoring half of his pts. in the final minutes.

Keying the Cavaliers' attack early in the game was Pope Panich who scored his season-high of 10 points.This was clearly Pope's best game of the year, and it came when the Cavaliers were struggling after losing their last game.
