National Post Grad Showcase Day 2

RS Phoenix vs Trent School 2:

The best game of the night was next, as the fans were packed in like sardines; The Robinson School of Irvington, New Jersey took on Trent Prep 2, of Houston, Texas. It was a battle, like Sam Houston leading his Texas Troops to victory, Raford Alston marched his team up and down the court and shot basket for basket with Vince Robinson’s home team. It was a dunk fest, as feet were flying everywhere, and the fans were going crazy! It was all out taking no prisoners war, as the battle began early as 6’9 Ramon Johnson came to play. Signing with North Carolina Central earlier in the week, Ramon was a monster tonight on the boards with 14 rebounds, assisting Jhamir White, and Dawan Lighty who again shot well for a combine 34 points. White and Lighty can play, they don’t back down, and seem to excel when competition is in the gym. Game after game they deliver outstanding performances, but the team over all has to get tougher, as Trent is tough, and contests every shot, and go for every rebound. The Robinson School and Trent battled shot for shot, with no clear leader in sight. Trent’s Elgin Cook again was unstoppable, with 26 points. Did someone say Memphis, as this kids reminds you of Derrick Rose, but Calipari’s at Kentucky now, he best take a look at this kid, because if Rafer ever gives him a green light this kid can put up 50 a game without sweating. Now, let’s not forget PJ Hartwick who hit for 19. PJ can play the point, and also shoot the shot. I think the Miami native needs to play for Miami, and heat the Big East up with his talent. Trent played like it was a war. Trent, was again a spoiler having a small lead of 5 with time running out in regulation, but Robinson school would not lay down and die, and with an unbelievable hustle in the last 30 seconds, stole the game, and was up by 3 with 3.5 seconds to go on the clock. But, Trent Bang Bang 3 pointer at end of the regulation put the game into OT. The Robinson School Home Crowd thought it was over, but no one fouled Trent’s shooter, and OT Baby! Trent then took over in OT driving in some easy layups, and it was over Trent 83, Robinson 75.
