Southern Sports & Travel, By Darron Thomas
The Bowling Green Buccaneers scored the first nine points of the game and never trailed as they pounded Centreville 78-50 last night in Franklinton.
It only took two minutes for Bowling Green to jump out to a 9-0 lead in the opening quarter but Centreville got consecutive 3-pointers from Colby Lockwood and Brad Jelks to trim the deficit to 9-6 with 5:04 left. Bowling Green finished the quarter with a 14-2 run to go up 23-8.
With 4:37 remaining in the second quarter Colby Lockwood’s basket plus one narrowed the lead to 25-13 but the Tigers would get no closer as Bowling Green promptly answered with seven straight points to increase the lead to 32-13.
Back to back lay-ins from Bowling Green junior Kevin Perry with just over one minute left in the second quarter put the Bucs up 41-21. The first half, in which eight different Bowling Green players scored, ended at 43-23.
The Bowling Green transition game was on full display in the second half and Centreville didn’t have an answer. Dean King’s offensive rebound and put back half way through the third quarter pushed the advantage to 50-25.
Bowling Green center Shod Fortenberry helped spur the Bucs to a 64-40 lead after three quarters. The 6’6” senior poured in nine points in the period.
A good crowd was on hand in the refurbished Bowling Green gymnasium to see their 4th ranked Buccaneers take a 78-50 win over Centreville. With the win Bowling Green improved to 10-3 while the 10th ranked Tigers slipped to 7-4.
Bowling Green was led by Shod Fortenberry with 16 points, Kevin Perry added 14, Jaron Edwards had 11, Colton Owens 8, Dylan Varnado, Dean King and Buster Brown each had 6, Mac McElveen 5, Jason Milton 4 and Drake Adams 2.
