EAGLES GO 0-FOR-VERO
Southwest
scored only 16 points in the second half in a 48-40 loss to Lake City Columbia
on the final day of the Vero Beach Holiday Hoopla tournament. The Tigers (5-7)
hit two 3-pointers in the final 15 seconds of the first quarter to take a 19-12
lead. The Eagles (5-7) pulled within one, at 25-24, at halftime due to a strong
defensive effort that held Columbia scoreless for the first 5:54 of the quarter.
The Tigers outscored Southwest 10-8 in the third period to go up by three. Trailing
39-35 with 1:45 remaining and without the ball, the Eagles had to start fouling
and Columbia made 9 of 12 free throws to cinch the win. Southwest missed shots
with 39, then 25, then 15 seconds left before Daniel Rams hit a 3-pointer with
0:07 on the clock.
