On Thursday morning the Westside Rams, the defending champions of the Lowe's Classic, opened up the 2018 Lowe's Classic with an impressive 91-57 victory over the Crest Chargers. Westside didn't waste time getting to work on Thursday morning as they jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first ninety seconds of the game. The Rams used a fast moving defense and efficient offense to help them capture a 19-11 first quarter lead. Westside kept the pressure on Crest in the second quarter as they outscored the Chargers 28-16 in the second quarter to hold a 47-27 halftime lead. The Chargers were able to get the score within eight points late in the second quarter but a technical foul and the ensuing possession allowed the Rams to put the score at 35-23 with just under three minutes to go before halftime. Westside turned up the pressure on their defense to another level in the last two minutes of the game as they forced Crest into turnovers and one shot possessions to end the half allowing the Rams to go on an 8-0 run to end the half. In the third quarter Westside got a really good quarter from senior Ty Danzy as he scored eight points of his game total fifteen points in the quarter to help extend the Rams lead to 69-37 at the end of the third quarter but it was another great defensive performance by the Rams in the quarter as they held the Chargers to only ten third quarter points. The Chargers had their best quarter of the day in the fourth as they were able to score twenty points against a very stingy Westside defense. The Rams were led on Thursday morning by senior Odarius Cade who scored sixteen points to lead Westside while freshman Mari Adams led Crest with fourteen points. Westside will continue on in the winner's bracket and play at 5:30 PM on Friday while Crest will play at 2:30 PM on Friday. Other Scores Girl's Bracket
