Smith Free Throws
Nail Bucks 65-61
The Hoke High Bucks blew a
12-point lead going into the fourth
quarter Friday night, and E.E.
Smith took advantage of free
throw opportunities to down the
home team 65-61.
Doing a "better job" at the free
throw line made the difference in
the loss, head basketball Coach
Greg Killingsworth said.
"We led up until the fourth
quarter. We fouled a lot and they
made their shots," Killingsworth
said.
"I think their free throw
shooting was the big difference in
the turn out of the game," he add
ed.
Although the Bucks were
defeated, they lead E.E. Smith by
12 points going into fourth quarter
action.
During the last period, the Smith
team outscored the Bucks 26 to 10
and shot 12 for 13 at the free throw
line.
"The team that hits the most
free throws usually ends up taking
the victory. That is how it happen
ed this time," the coach said.
"I think we played a real good
ballgame," he added.
Tony McRae lead the Bucks
with 19 points. Barrett Easterling
followed closely behind with 14
while James Graham provided 12
points during the game.
Marco Pickett scored six points
during the game, while Harry
Southerland and Ronnie Melvin
added four points each to the final
score.
"We have had two good
quarters in some ballgames and
even three good quarters. Maybe
by conference time we can come
out with four good quarters," Kill
ingsworth said.
The Buck team is 7-9 on the
season and 2-6 in the conference.
