The Greenville Parks Commission kicked off the second week of youth basketball on Monday night. The Greenville Warriors 5-6 boys and girls came out on top as they outscored the Greenville Lakers 12-7. The Warriors did not lead until late in the second half.
The Greenville Lakers led in the first half with leading scorer Ahmad Hawkins coasting the court sinking in 7 points alone. For much of the first half Hawkins’ game was unanswered.
Immediately after halftime, the Warriors’ defense came alive causing the Lakers to remain scoreless in the third quarter. This shifted the momentum of the game.
The Warriors went on to score numerous times, including a big time three pointer from Rodney Quinn, Jr. following two backboard baskets from teammate Draylen Wilson in the last quarter to put the game away. The 5-6 youth co-ed league will run through January
and end late February. Games are played nightly beginning at 5:30 pm at the recreation gymnasiums.
