Shelby Valley 71 - Poinciana, FL 59
#30
Justice took 2, maybe 3, shots, at max... and one was left handed. Big win despite the fact that Justice got hit in the shoulder again in the fourth and grimaced hard, but kept playing. He DID play in the second half but not a whole lot.

Poinciana had a horrible record last year and this years team was very small with no post players. They had no match for Valley inside, but they could shoot the ball pretty well. Poinciana was up 29-27 at halftime because of their good first half shooting. They had a phenomenal player named McElroy who was blowing by every defender, even Justice, and was probably the strongest player on the court. However, in the third he went up HIGH and blocked a Tyler Newsome lay-up in, and came down awkward on his ankle, rolling it verrrrrry bad. He came out of the game, took his shoe off, went back with the trainer, and came back out in the fourth quarter with Valley having a six point leader now, taking advantage with their best player down. Game was close, but Tyler Newsome hit a huge three to end the third quarter and but valley up 6 for good (albeit rolled around the rim and took a big bounce before falling through).

McElroy played sparingly in the fourth because he could barely walk on his ankle. Not sure why they kept playing him, they are guaranteed more games but I doubt he will be able to play any more now, and he is their only hope for stealing a victory in this tourney. Judging by the fact that he couldn't even walk to the car after the game, I bet he is feeling the effect of going back into the game today.

Good win by Valley, now lets see how they do against Boynton and American Heritage... should be interesting. Congrats.
