Landrum used a balanced attack to down Chesnee 70-62 on Friday night to collect their ninth region win of the season.
Cole Hoskyns made the opening basket of the game for the Eagles and after the teams traded baskets the Cardinals went on a 14-4 run to close out the quarter sparked by seven points from Mason Raines. The run propelled the Cardinals to an 18-10 lead after the first quarter of play. As he did in the team's earlier matchup, Isaiah Washington made his presence felt in the second quarter as he scored seven points in the quarter. Four of those points bookended a 12-0 run by the Cardinals. Washington also completed a three point play with five seconds to go in the half to give Landrum a 35-22 halftime lead. The Eagles came out strong to open the third quarter as KJ Valentine and Brady Poole scored back to back baskets to spark an 8-0 run to pull Chesnee to within five. Landrum quickly expanded the lead back to nine with back to back baskets from Marco Gonzalez and Isaiah Washington. Another Brady Poole basket pulled the Eagles within four but an 8-2 run by the Cardinals gave them a ten point cushion heading into the fourth quarter. A big play in the game was when Landrum’s Mason Raines hit a shot from just inside the half court stripe as the clock hit zero heading into the final quarter. Chesnee came out strong once again as they pulled to within six points after a bucket from Nyquille O'Fair but the Cardinals once again responded with another run this time an 11-2 run to extend their lead to 64-49. The Eagles were able to cut the lead to under double digits with less than a minute to go but couldn't get any closer. Landrum's Mason Raines led all scorers with 19 points while Isaiah Washington and Cooper Gentry joined Raines in double figures for the Cardinals. Washington scored 14 points and Gentry added 13 points of his own. Brady Poole and KJ Valentine led the Eagles with 13 points apiece while Nyquille O'Fair joined them in double-figures with 10 points on Friday night. The Eagles will travel to Crescent on Tuesday for a 6pm tipoff. Comments are closed.
