Wilson Holds Off Jefferson
Bv E ric N oon
When your team is on the wrong
end o f a 15-3 late forth quarter run,
on the road, you better find a way to
stop the momentum.
The Wilson Trojans (15-1) found
just the answers just in time to hold
of I the late charging Jefferson Demo
crats 88-80 last Friday in Portland
interscholastic League hoys basket
ball action.
W ilson’s dynamic duo of David
Ja c k so n and T y ro n e M anlove
dropped in 23 apiece and thwarted
the Democrat comeback late on the
forth quarter
The Trojans (15-1) outscored the
hosting Democrats (12-4) 46-36 in
the second and third quarters and
built a 16 point lead with six minutes
remaining in the contest.
Then the three-ball started falling
for the Democrats as they went on a
15-3 tear with six minutes remaining
and Wilson could only muster three
free-throws in that pi votai four minute
stretch. Jefferson connected on four
from downtown and dwindled the
lead to three with two minutes re
maining and had the top-ranked Tro-
jans scrabbling for composure.
The Democrats pressured the Tro
jans in to a number of turnovers with
their full court traps and solid inte
rior defense. The Democrats seem at
their best when their lightning quick
guards are taking chances and press
ing the ballhandler to fuel the run
ning fast-break offense verse a set
half-court attack.
It was Jackson and Manlove who
spoiled the comeback for last years
state runner-ups with key buckets
and rebounds in the closing minutes
to put another win in the books for
the talent laded Trojans.
The Trojans, who are tied with
Benson at 15-1 atop the PIL, had
another balanced night in scoring as
Je rm a in e T h o m p so n , M ichael
M arion and the versatile Basil
Duncantell all scored in double fig
ures.
Jefferson was led in scoring by a
monster game by Tyrone “T-Bone”
Hammick who finished with 31
points, 12 rebounds and a bundle of
enthusiasm that fueled the rowdy
jefferson bleachers.
Hammick, who was one of the key
players of Jefferson's run al state last
year, had really come into his own
this year and carried the Democrats
to a near upset over the top-ranked
Trojans.
At 6 foot 6 and mobile in the
middle, Hammack looks to be a Di
vision I player in college if he can
keep his nose out of trouble and keep
the poise off the court that he has
developed on the court.
Dcmetries Hardin finished with
14 points, six under his average, as
Wilson denied him the outside shot
most of the night.
P Supports Portland Parks
Tosco Refining and marketing
company, parent company of the
Portland area BPstations, has teamed
with the Portland Trail Blazers to
support Portland Parks and Recre
ation. Ihe two organizations have
developed “Points for Parks,“ afund-
raising mission to assist in the con
struction and/or restoration of inner-
city basketball courts in Portland-
area parks.
Tosco’s funding will enable courts
to be refurbished that were not going
to receive public funds because of
the high cost of construction.
BP will donate $200 for each three-
point shot the Blazers make during
all televised games for the remainder
of the season, as well as all televised
playoff games. The program, which
debuts during the next televised game
on Thursday, January 18, when the
Blazers travel to Sacramento to take
on the Kings, is expected to raise
over $15,(XX).
“ U ltim ately “B P 's Points for
Parks” is scoring points for Portland’s
youth by supporting quality recre
ation facilities. We at Tosco are
pleased to provide private funds for
Hammick took the opportunity
with Hardin struggling for his shot to
step up and put the Demos on his
back and put a care in W ilson’s PIL
title hopes.
The Trojans have the best starting
five in state and should make a solid
run for the championship if they can
play together.
But it’s teams like Jefferson, who
with a couple key players and enough
calculated risks on defense, who
could exploit W ilson’s inability to
play together at times and spoil the
dynamic duo’s run at the state title.
a public program that needs support,
especially when those funds benefit
children,” said Bob Lavinia, CEO
for Tosco. The company is commit
ted to charitable giving programs
focusing on kids and education in the
communities in which it operates.
