Green ices New Boston
Published 12:00 am Thursday, February 3, 2005
NEW BOSTON - Just call coach Kevin Sheridan Mr. Freeze.
After Michael Day made a foul shot with one second to play that got New Boston within 58-57, Sheridan called a time out to "ice" the shooter.
After the time out, Day missed the shot and the Green Bobcats came away with a one-point Southern Ohio Conference win.
Green took a 58-56 lead when John Dawson sank a foul shot.
The Bobcats were 8 of 14 from the foul line in the fourth quarter including Derek Lewis who was 3 of 4.
Despite the win, Sheridan was not totally happy.
"We played passive and back on our heels the whole game. We just didn't have the intensity and offensively we were out of sync the whole night," Sheridan said.
"But give credit to New Boston. They did a good job of keeping us out of our offense."
Lewis led the Bobcats with 19 points and five assists. Brian Ramey added 11 points and John Dawson had 10 points and five rebounds.
John Moore scored 17 points and Day 16 to lead New Boston.
Green (10-6, 8-3 SOC) led 16-9 after the first quarter as Dawson scored 6 points. Nathan Patten scored all 5 of his points to make it 29-24 at the half.
Ramey scored 4 points in the third quarter as the Bobcats managed just 6 points and saw East go up 36-35.
But Lewis had 10 points in the fourth quarter as Green rallied for the win.
"Derek hit some big shots for us, and John Bowen came off the bench and hit two big shots," Sheridan said.
