TJ Rountree Hits 1,000 Points Leading a Win Over Redemption Christian 82-54
Senior Co-Captain TJ Rountree scored in the first minute of play off the jump ball to reach a 1000 points in his career.
He is now a member of the “Hornets’ Nest” and joins past players like Danny Oglesby, Casey Hughes, Harry Stanley, Mike Massey, and Walter Davis Jr. to name a few.
In the first half Hamden Hall quickly jumped out to a 7- 0 lead only to have their opponent race back and tie the score 10 all.
Redemption was led by their 6’10 center who had been a defensive issue for the Hornets, but with TJ Rountree scoring a “quick” 10 points along with Co-Captain Dan Draffan and Junior Vin Baker Jr. dropping in 8 points the score at half time put the Hornets up 10 points with the score 40-30.
Early in the second half Redemption’s 6’10 Center fouled out. That opened the door for the young Hornets. Hamden Hall increased their lead to a score of 52-34 with solid play from Senior Pasquale Villano who had a career high 11 points.
The Hornets shot a blistering 70 percent from the floor in the second half for their seventh win of the season.
