Lake Norman scored 0 points in the Fourth Quarter, and Lake Norman was only able to score 3 total points, vs. the Super Aggresive and Tough Smith Golden Eagles Defense…A defense that is hard to attack and penetrate…Hard to succeed vs. an Unbreakable “D”…Also can continue to see teams having troubles matching up with Smith’s strong post player, Amani Williams…She is extremely tough to tame in the paint, and tonight she stepped outside the paint, and dialed up two shots from long distance, as Williams nailed two/too sweet 3s….
Smith Scoring:Amani Williams with 20 points, Kalecia DeBerry with 16 points, Essence McEachin with 12 points on four perfectly made 3’s…Maffet 7, Daye 6, Haith 5 with maybe 6-7 assists, Underwood 2…

Smith Scoring:Jai Dawkins led the way with his 26 points, giving him game-honors…Kendrick Johnson with 15 points on five dead-eye 3s…His 3s were smooth as silk…He nailed all but one of his three-pointers, 5-6…Kenny Miller Jr. 12 points, Tysere Payne 11 points, Micah Cowan 8, Gavin Palmore 6, Tayshawn Mann 4, Kaden Turner-Scott 2, Kenny Faizon 1…
Carson Scoring:CP Perry 17 points, Jonah Drye 17 points, Jacob Mills 10, Walters 9, Neve 7, Martin 4, Hales 3…
Smith was too tough for Carson on the inside, and when you look at Smith’s offensive game on the outside, Kendrick Johnson was near perfect from Three-Point Land…He would set up in the left or right corner, or even out front, Smith would feed him the ball, and he would Score, Score, Score, Score, Score…Five 3s on the night for Johnson, and he got all the help he needed from Jai Dawkins, who scored 26 pts. for the Golden Eagles, and Carson had no answer for Johnson, Dawkins, and the Cougars could also not contain Kenny Miller Jr. and Tysere Payne in the lane, and around the basket…Smith is very, very deep, but all their players got in on the act and contributed to this Round One Playoff victory, at the Bob McAdoo Gymnasium, on the Ben L. Smith High School campus….
Smith boys now at (24-3) on the season…#11 Smith boys at #6 AC Reynolds(19-8) in Asheville on Friday night….
