Game Report on New Garden Friends-Comenius of Fort Mill, South Carolina

New Garden Friends School Bears’ rally falls short against Comenius of Fort Mill, South Carolina:

The Comenius Knights of Ft Mill South Carolina came to Greensboro and went away with a hard fought 65-58 win over the New Garden Friends Bears Friday night. The Bears were trying to win their fifth straight but an error filled third quarter put them into a hole they couldn’t climb out of. The Bears rallied in the fourth but their hopes ended when they suffered a turnover with only 30 seconds remaining and trailing by just three points. The Knights closed out the game by converting on free throws as the Bears had to foul in desperation.

The Bears Osi Smart put up his 10th double double of the season with 15 points and 14 rebounds in another strong performance. E.J. Bartlett turned in a solid performance with 12 points off of 4 three pointers and dished out 7 assists while grabbing 4 rebounds.
