Jensen Davis’ half court heave at the end of the first quarter broke up a tight game and North Harrison managed to pull away to a 53-18 win over Tina-Avalon Monday.
The Shamrock lead was 8-6 in the closing seconds of the first quarter when Landon Johnson drove and hit a tough jumper with 10 seconds left to make it 10-6. Following a Dragon turnover, North Harrison got the ball with four seconds left and Ryker Fortner threw a pass to Jensen Davis, who threw up a half-court heave to make it 13-6 at the end of one.
Davis’ heave gave North Harrison the momentum, and they cut down on their mistakes and began to pull away. Gage Fortner drove through the Dragon trap and got to the line. Then, Ryker Fortner knocked an errant ball to the mid-court line, beat everyone to the ball, and threw a wild pass to Gage Fortner, who corralled it and scored to make it 16-6. Gage Fortner added a triple to make it 19-6.
Porter Crowe’s free throws cut the Dragon deficit to 19-8, but then Wyatt Maize drove and drew a foul, making one of two. Maize added a putback and then Jensen Davis got a tip and Wyatt Maize got a steal. He fed Davis for the finish. Gage Fortner grabbed an offensive board in traffic and scored, and Ryker Fortner hit two free throws to put the Shamrocks in front 28-8 at the half.
Tina-Avalon began a comeback bid to start the third quarter as they started controlling the boards. Landon Harper started with a free throw, and then Max Harkins beat the Shamrock press. Gaven Sturgeon converted a fourth-chance putback, and Miles Brockmeier hit an NBA 3-pointer to bring the Dragons back to within 29-16 at the 4:30 mark of the third quarter.
But just as it looked like the Dragons would make things interesting, Andrew Craig got a putback to kill the rally. Landon Johnson drove and drew a foul, hitting two free throws, and then Gage Fortner drove and scored after Wyatt Maize pushed one ahead. Jensen Davis got a steal and fed Wyatt Maize to make it 37-16. Landon Harper drove and finished a tough shot to make it 37-18, but North Harrison would hold the Dragons scoreless the rest of the way.
Andrew Craig once again started the rally by running the floor and getting behind the Dragon defense after Harper’s score, and Wyatt Maize aired it out to him for two. That play seemed to be the backbreaker as the Shamrocks quickly followed up with three more tallies. Wyatt Maize drove the high post in traffic and finished, Jensen Davis got a steal and drive, and Davis scored from 30 feet away with time winding down in the third quarter to make it 46-18 and prompting the Dragons to throw in the towel.
Jensen Davis scored off a Wyatt Maize steal to start the fourth and then Ryker Fortner hit a 3-pointer before North Harrison started clearing the bench. Jacoby Ballard grabbed an offensive board, drove down the right side, and flung one up and in down the stretch.
The game started off ragged for the Shamrocks at first, as they committed two turnovers and gave up three offensive boards in the first few minutes of the game and trailed 4-2 at one point. Wyatt Maize scored off a Gage Fortner steal, Andrew Craig scored from inside, and Jensen Davis went coast to coast after Andrew Craig blocked a shot to make it 8-4 before Tina-Avalon got behind the Shamrock defense to cut it to 8-6.
