And we are fully under way in the 09-10 basketball season. And Pleasant Hope’s Matt Brown has already marked himself as a player to watch scoring 82 points in the teams first two games. Last night Brown went for 40 as the Pirates won 85-33 over College Heights in the first round of the Dennis Cornish Invitational in Lockwood.
On the girls side, Everton’s Jessica Holland opened her season with a triple double in the Lady Tigers 64-21 win over Niangua in the Everton Invitational. Holland had 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 11 steals to help Everton secure the victory. Teammate Linsey Denney also scored 23 knocking down four 3 pointers.
