3rd Round of Gateway Conference Tournament

First Coast displayed the heart of a champion last night against Lee High School. We dominated the paint, controlled the tempo of the game, limited their second chance shots and most of all we played outstanding defense. Eric Beverly and Ambrose Mosley led the charge defensively to keep Lee's guards in check all night, while Tavaris Barnes scored a game high of 24 points. The effort by the rest of the Buccaneers was electric I mean everyone was up cheering and rooting their teammates on. Once again defense proved to be the difference in such a close game. The game was tied with 12 seconds left on the clock as Lee tried to inbound the ball under our basket. Everyone was covered so they tried to pass the ball in at half-court and out of nowhere came Danny Alston who showed his wide receiver skills by out jumping Lee's player for the ball. Danny then passed it off to David Williams for the fast break, which he eventually missed but was followed up by a tip from Ambrose Mosley to put the Bucs up by 2 points for good. Final score First Coast 59 and Lee 57. As I stated earlier these young men never gave up and found a way to win and we are proud to say congratulations and good luck tomorrow as we play the Ribault Trojans for the Gateway Conference Championship.
