In the 15th Annual All Star Basketball game sponsored by the Northern Neck Shriners Club, the Northern Neck ladies were easy winners over the Tidewater all stars, 57-36. But the guys from Tidewater broke a five year strangle hold of the Northern Neck by handing them a close fought 63-60 loss.
It was defensive pressure by the Northern Neck gals that gave them an early 15-8 first quarter lead.
Coached by Lancaster’s Joanne Webb-Fary and assisted by Marcus Ferguson, the Northern Neck all stars used their speed, ball handling ability and height to keep the Tidewater girls pretty controlled for most of the action.
Northumberland’s Nia Jones was up to old tricks, frequently stealing the ball. Lancaster’s Aleyah Davenport and Colonial Beach’s Karley Inscoe controlled the back boards and the Lancaster duo of Arkasia Sutton and Shamerah Taylor providing the ball handling.
The Tidewater girls made a short run mid way the second quarter, but could get no further than dent in the Neck’s lead. By halftime it was 30-17 and although the third stanza was played pretty evenly, it was all over but the shouting.
