Dublin Heat vs. Dublin Tarheels 11-12 Boys
Two Dublin teams recently met in what turned out to be a real barn burner. The Heat got off to a great start, taking an early 6-0 lead on drives to the basket by Trent Blankenship. The Tarheels slowly crept back into the game by pounding the ball down low to Miguel Garcia. The Heat ended up with a 21-11 lead at half, with Hunter Thomas getting easy transition points. The second half started off with a bang, with the Heat keeping a 10 pt lead most of the third quarter with good ball movement and points by Blankenship and the good shooting by Alex Akers. In the fourth quarter the Tarheels mounted a comeback by applying pressure defensively, along with the good shooting by Braeden Blevins and solid inside work by Austin Testerman. The Tarheels clawed their way back, and were only down 3 with 6 seconds to go in the game. After a timeout the Tarheels inbounded and tied the game with a last second 3 point bucket by Jaylin Nowlin, which left the score at 27-27 and took the contest into overtime. The Tarheels took the tip and scored quckly, and then turned up the pressure, with turnovers created by Thomas, Anderson, and Braeden Blevins. The Heat came out and kept it close with a good freethrow shooting but the Tarheels pressure and late scoring earned the 33-30 win for the Dublin Tarheels.
