from Eastern Guilford High School tonight, where the EG Wildcats knocked off the WS Atkins Camels, 76-67, in the boys game, and the last time these two teams met, it was Atkins over Eastern Guilford by 30 points…

**********The three-point shot was very advantageous for the EG Wildcats in this game…EG had eight(8) made three-pointers, and Atkins only connected on four(4) three-point shots…EG 24-12 over Atkins from three-point range…EG wins the game by nine points, and I can guarantee you, those EG-made three’s were a very large difference in this contest…And from where I was sitting, it sure looked like the EG Wildcats were out-hustling Atkins to the loose balls on Tuesday night, at EG…EG was grabbing the 50-50 balls, before Atkins could snap them up…EG got several second-chance shots, due to good offensive rebounding, and also due to sheer Wildcat hustle, and want-to…EG was attacking the rack/rim/basket all night long, with Burns, Dodd and Jones going to the hole hard, and they were having success to tune of 56 points between them…This trio of Burns, Dodd, and Jones had six of the eight EG made three-pointers, but their aggressive nature, when it came to going to basket, led to positive EG results, and they caught Atkins flat-footed, on more than one occasion…Very much success, and many good vibes, coming out of this ballgame for the Eastern Guilford boys basketball team, on Tuesday evening….**********

**********EG’s top scorer Taylor Branch was injured early in the Third Quarter, and she never returned to the game for the Lady Wildcats…She would have made the score closer, but on this night, there was no way Eastern Guilford was going to be able to beat the WS Atkins Camels…The Camels were well over the hump after the opening whistle of this game, and then they never looked back, until the final horn sounded to end the contest…The Camels kept the ball on their offensive end of the court way too long during this Tuesday night skirmish, at Eastern Guilford HS…It kind of reminded you of the old days, when the girls played six-on-six ball, and you had three girls on offense, and three girls on defense, and you had to stay on your side of the court, the entire game…Atkins was playing offensive ball, to get the win on Tuesday, at EG…***********
