ASHFORD --- Successful 3-point shooting sparked Providence Christian to a first-half lead. Standout Pearce Boone then made sure the advantage held up in the second half.
Behind the 3-point shooting and a career varsity first triple-double by Boone, the Eagles defeated Ashford 61-50 on the Yellow Jackets floor Friday night to close out Class 3A, Area 3 play for both teams.
“We really struggled against them the last time,” Wright said. “They are a really good team that can get going and get hot, so we needed to come over here and at least prove that we could compete. We needed to prove that to ourselves, at least. I was proud of the way we responded.” “He is a special player,” Wright said. “In a couple of timeouts , I remember telling the guys, ‘We have got to get him the ball. We have to find him, get him the ball and let him go work.’ It’s not just his scoring ability, but he does such a good job of creating for his teammates. If he draws the double or triple team, he knows where the open man is.
Early on, Providence came out hot in 3-point shooting, knocking 4-of-6 treys in the opening quarter to build an 19-12 advantage by the period’s conclusion with four different players hitting one each – Hamp Sanders, Charlie Leger, Cas Boone and Eb Anderson. “We have overall struggled shooting from the 3-point line this year, but I know we have guys that can shoot it and they know they can shoot it,” Wright said. “Hopefully this is a big catalyst for us to get things going from the 3-point line.”
