JCA Tourney - Consolation Game

New Life Storm 46 Friendship Christian Falcons 30

The NLC Storm added a trophy to the trophy case, bringing home the 3rd place trophy in the JCA Holiday Tournament with a convincing 46-30 win over Friendship Christian School of Raleigh. After a 6-6 tie at the end of the first quarter, the Storm turned up the heat in the 2nd quarter, holding the Falcons to only 3 points in the quarter and taking an 8-point halftime lead. In the second half, NLC led by double-figures most of the way, steadily extending the lead to as much as 19 midway through the 4th quarter. The Storm focused on working the ball inside in this game and also controlled the offensive boards, pulling down 25 offensive rebounds. Anna had a big game, leading the team with 17 points, while Ryan also reached double-figures with 10. Daryl led a strong team rebounding effort with 10, and Rebecca added 7 assists.

Congratulations to the girls on a good tournament. It was a fun weekend of basketball and a good preparation for the state and HSPN tournaments coming up in February and March.
