HALF: 28, 27 | whacky second quarter where AP shot lights out | different makeup for AP basketball, speedy and athletic with perimeter shooting has not been the M.O of AP basketball but that second quarter showed a lot of offensive creativity #518Hoops /AzCkzXQMat Outscoring Columbia 18-8 in the second half, the Warriors were able to take a one point lead into the halftime and it really looked as if Averill Park had taken all of the momentum Columbia had gained away. Sapienza scored all five of his points in the quarter and Ian Fisher-Layton added five of his own while Heeps scored four to help the Devils take the early lead.ĮND Q1: 19, 10 | Columbia PG Justin Sapienza has 5 and AP PG Galuski has 6 in Q1 | Columbia is forcing AP out of their rhythm and are controlling the tempo | Devils look really good through first #518Hoops /w5tn8H6j0rĪverill Park wasn’t going to go away quietly. Tonight, we were in better position.”Ĭolumbia took a 19-10 lead out of the first quarter and looked to really have gotten control of things quickly thanks to the defense and rebounding of the forwards.
We were leading at one point at halftime against Shaker and they came out in the second half and they played a much better second half. “We have been through that with Shaker, we didn’t play well defensively against Shaker and that’s what happened. “The Shaker game gave us a little bit of an edge coming in because it was our second real game, that was their first real game,” said Sankey.
The Devils bounced back from their opening night loss with poise and resilience. We are trying to build on that.”Ĭolumbia played a well rounded game and controlled the tempo and forced Averill Park to turn the ball over in the first half. “For being down 16 early and coming back, staying within what we do, and going into the locker room up on, I couldn’t be more pleased. We have nobody returning essentially, except Galuski who played a little, on our roster,” said Averill Park Head Coach Dave Pugliese.
