THIRD-PLACE GAME
HENRICO 65,
ST. CHRISTOPHER’S 53

The Warriors jumped out to a 32-8 lead before taking the third-place contest.

Jamar Cooper was a monster on the offensive glass, scoring 10 of his 14 points first-half points on putbacks. He stayed at that point total for the contest, however, as St. Christopher’s started to concentrate on keeping him off the glass and limiting their turnovers.

The Saints had 11 of them in the first quarter, ending up with 20.

St. Chris ended the second quarter on a 13-2 run, sparked by reserve Luke Erickson (10 points). He put in eight points in the run, six on two 3-point bombs.

Teddy Mitchell was also tough in the second quarter, scoring nine of his game-high 21 points.

Mitchell’s free throws at 5:44 of the fourth quarter sliced the lead to eight, then Charlie McCann (12 points, all in second half) sliced the lead to seven three minutes later.

But the Saints would get no closer as Trey Davis (13 points) and Jarrett Wansley (12 points, all in the second half) knocked in free throws to take third place in their tournament for the first time after winning the first three annual events.
