Central Park Christian Stops Hamden Hall 62 to 47
CPC was an experience for the Hornets, it was like playing a college team.
Their starting front line was 6”11, 6’9 and 6’6 and the shooting guard was 6’5. There were two players off the bench that were 6’6 and 6’7.
Even with all this Hamden Hall hung in there with a tight 2-1-2 zone that caused several turnovers that enabled the Hornets to stay close.
The first period ended with the score 8-5 CPC.

Hamden Hall managed only to score 2 baskets in the second period, but the zone and the double teaming the ball began to create problems for the taller opponent for the Hornets and the score at the half was 18 -13 CPC.
The second half both teams traded baskets and the lead at the end of the third period was 46 to 38 CPC.
The Hornets had trouble getting shots off inside and had to rely on their outside shooting. TJ. Rountree, who scored all of his 12 points (4 three’s) in the second half, and Vin Baker Jr. dropped in 8 points to help close the gap to 2 points and less than two minutes left in the game the score was now 44 to 42 CPC.
Baker fouled out and with Draffan on the bench with 4 fouls, CPC went on a 15-2 run as they controlled the backboards at both ends of the court.

I am really proud of the defensive effort the young Hornets made, creating turnovers, pressuring the ball, running the floor are part of the game. It is the only reason we kept ourselves in the game.
