B-BALL REPORT

The latest report from Greg Garcia:

On Tuesday night, Pocono Mountain East fell short to Harrisburg 68-51 in the Harrisburg Slamfest tournament. The game was the second matchup of the night within the tournament.



The Cardinals got in big trouble early in the game when the Cougars began a full court press, which led to turnovers. 6-foot-6 senior Bryan Taylor was a huge difference maker down low for the Cougars. Many Cardinal players were forced to alter their shot in mid air because of his presence. The Cardinals used all their options to try and stop him, but Taylor still was too much of a force.



In the second quarter, the Cardinals were outscored 15-5 and their top two scorers Kyheim Hall and Lamont Tillery sat out most of the remaining half in foul trouble.



Sophomore David Garcia led all Cardinal scorers with 15 points off the bench. Garcia provided a nice spark for Coach Heaton.



The Cardinals looked extremely vulnerable to full court pressure and stopping a legit foward down low.
