Durham Flight (Homeschool) 40

Sterling Holland playing his final game for the Bears delighted a large partisan crowd on Pleasant Ridge Road Tuesday night by outscoring the entire Durham Flight team. Sterling stroked 11 three pointers on his way to a career high 44 points . Sterling hit six of his threes in the second quarter as the Bears opened up a 20 point half time lead.

Josh Wilkerson, the Bears’ only other senior and team co-captain finished a fine career with a double double scoring 10 points and pulling down an equal number of rebounds. Josh led a spirited New Garden defense which harassed Durham all evening and the Bears also dominated the glass by a margin of 50-30.

The two seniors were introduced along with their families before the game and left the game together in the final quarter to a standing ovation from an appreciative crowd.
