Jamestown, NC – –

This evening the Ragsdale Tigers played their home opener against the Storm of Southern Guilford High School. The Storm were coming off a close, hard fought game against Page while the Tigers picked up their first victory of the young season last Friday night on the road at SE Guilford. Both teams would look to make a mark early to gain the upper hand.

The opening period was full of action, with the home-standing Tigers gaining an early ten point advantage. However, late in the first quarter, the Storm hit several 3-point baskets and were able to pull even at 19 a piece. In the second quarter, the Storm would forge a slim one possession lead going into the halftime break. In the third period, Ragsdale’s defense would stiffen and hold Southern to only 8 points, while the Tigers would go on a 10-0 run to gain an advantage they would never again relinquish. In the final quarter, the Storm would never get as close as six points, with the Tigers winning by a final score of 67-59.

Ragsdale was led by Juniors Greyson Collins (20 points, 4 rebounds) and Kyle Watkins (19 points, 5 rebounds) and Brian Free (9 points). Xzavier Walker led the Storm with 18 points. Garren Dearman scored 12 points, while Chris Denning chipped in 10.
