Spurs and Mavs highlight action at Hanes Hosiery BY RORY DAVIS SPECIAL TC^THE CHRONICLE The action was intense at the Hanes Hosiery last week. A lot of the action was provided by the players in the 10 12 year old Division. The Spurs and Mavericks highlighted the action with two exciting victories. Spurs 38, Heat 36 (OT): Jarred Chandler hit two free throws in overtime, helping the Spurs defeat the Heat 38 36. Overcoming a rocky start, the Spurs rallied down the stretch to shave a 10-point margin during the final two min utes of regulation. Celeste Burgess (13 points) and Cory Allen (12 points) were spectacular down the stretch, hitting enough clutch shots to force the game into overtime. The Heat pulled out to a commanding lead behind Infinity Penn and Jermaine Gay. Penn (8 points) controlled the boards, putting back several missed shots. Gay (10 points) showed off his strong perimeter game, hitting a number of tough shots. However, the Spurs responded, forcing turnovers and converting enough fast-breaks to force the all-important overtime period. Mavs 51, Suns 44: Rakie Badger hit 7 three-pointers on his way to a game-high 39 points for the Mavs. Badger went toe to toe with Jared Smith of the Suns and the two future stars didn't disappoint. Smith hit 6 three pointers and scored 32 points as he seemingly matched Badger shot for shot throughout the game. The Mavs pulled out to a 7-point halftime lead, but the Suns battled back, tying the game up several minutes into the second half. Kayla Blevins then scored 4 of her 8 points to spur an 8-0 run that put the Mavs up for good. Ray-Ray Blue chipped in with 8 points for the Suns.
