Final Score
East 150
West 126
A very excited game with a bunch of points scored and very little defense at the Tampa Bay Basketball Coaches Association All Star Game. The West squad got off to a hot start with Marshall Holmes and Jack Taylor scoring the bulk of the West early points. The East started a little slow but George Brammeier and Gary Hector provided the spring board for the East side to get going.
Rashad Green showed a wide variety of ways to score the basketball and Keshawn Ingram scored a lot of points and scored them fast. Jack Taylor, Anton Crutcher and Marshall Holmes had their own dunk contest within the game. One after another, flying through the air with a sweet throw down. Bryce Nickels may have had the play of the game when he caught an alley over a contesting Anton Crutcher and one handed, rocked the rim. The dunk ignited a roar from the crowd and both benches.
Both All Star coaching staffs selected players to participate in the cross water All Star Game. Hillsborough County All Stars will play the Pinellas County All Stars on March 21st at Hillsborough Community College. Girls play at 6pm and then the Boys take the court. A few more players will be added to the roster, but the bolded players below were selected to the Hillsborough County roster.
