Overton vs Ridgeway Report - February 3, 2010

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the theme of this game. Both teams started the game very out of character like. Which was not a bad thing for Overton, but it may hurt Ridgeway if they don't get it together.



Overton came out on fire and Ridgeway looked crazy. Overton actually started the game on track offensively, especially around the arch. Both sophomore, Cornelia Fondren and senior, Lakeria Crowder, dropped off 3s. On the contrary, I did not recognize Ridgeway. Throwing the ball away over and over and over again. Taking crazy shots. In the words of former Bad Boy artist Black Rob, it was like WHOA. Magically, Ridgeway was only down by 5 after 1 and down 2 at the half.

I must say this was the most aggressive I have seen Ridgeway's Hasina Muhammad. She normally does her damage quietly. But tonight she seemed determined. Taking more outside shots and was on it with several steals. But Overton was too much.

Overton looked good. I mean really good. They were on both defensively and offensivly. Senior Karisma Tyson came off the bench more composed and hit 2 key three pointers. Jasmine Robinson was of course Jasmine Robinson. But sophomore Cornelia Fondren was all over the place. Finishing with 15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks. It was truly a balanced effort for Overton winning 62-44.

Overton (62) -- Lakeria Crowder 3, Cornelia Fondren 15, Cortrice Golden 5, Jackeya Mitchell 1, Jasmine Robinson 19, Karisma Tyson 10, Orlandria Williams 9.

Ridgeway (44) -- Chasity Hamilton 9, Hasina Muhammad 23, Odegua Oigbokie 7, Adrian Sanders 2, Tequila Stanton 3.
