Tuesday night

is basketball night and only a few local teams fared well in the region

matchups this past Tuesday.

Sandy Creek's

boys and girls took on North Clayton and both teams won. The boys won

69-65 and Coach Maurice Triche cited the exellent fourth quarter play

of Cornelius Brown as the key to the win. Brown had nine points and four

steals in the fourth quarter while playing solid defense. Other scorers

in double figures for the Patriots were Kevin Craig with 15 points, Kerry

Atkinson with 11 points and Charles Wiliford with 10 points.

The Lady Patriots

won 53-32. They bult a 21-11 lead by halftime and stretched out their

lead in the second half. Mary Fields scored 14 points, shooting six for

six from the foul line and three for three from the field, including two

three pointers. Jennifer Jarascz added 11 points and Tiffany Paschall

pulled in 13 rebounds and blocked six shots. Sandy Creek will play at

Woodward tonight and then will play at Chapel Hill on Saturday.

Starr's Mill

had the tough task of taking on Lovejoy on Tuesday night. The boys lost

77-57 and Mike Mock led the Panthers in scoring with 15 points. The Lady

Panthers lost 57-49 in double overtime. There were several lead changes

throughout regulation and Starr's Mill had a chance to win at the end

of regulation but made too many turnovers. The Lady Panthers pulled ahead

in the first overtime but got into foul trouble and headed into a second

overtime. Lovejoy controlled the second overtime and did not allow Starr's

Mill to score. Jenny Norman scored 16 points and Kelly Caulfield added

13. Starr's Mill will play at Riverdale tonight.
