<NOW NBC5 SPORTS DESK….SPONSORED BY NEW ENGLAN FORD DEALERS!> (áááSP MONááá) HEY HEY HEY ITS THE NBC5 SPORTS DESK FRIDAY NIGHT! JACK MAIN… ERIC KERR IN THE SOUTH BURLINGTON STUDIOS… GETTING BACK TO OUR ROOTS WITH SOME HIGH SCHOOL HOOPS! THAT’S RIGHT JACK — THEY HAD TO BRING THE QUINNIPIAC BOYS – – AT LEAST PART OF THE BAND BACK TOGETHER — I’M EXCITED TO GET TO DO THIS — PHYSICALLY — IN THE SAME ROOM WITH YOU. WE’RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND START WITH THE CLASSIC RIVALRY! BURLINGTON… TAKING THE TRIP DOWN MAIN STREET… TO CLASH WITH THEIR SOURTHERN FOE… SOUTH BURLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL WOLVES PULLING OUT IN A WHI-SKI- OUT… THATS AN INTERESTING COMBO… IN THE SECOND ROUND RIVALRY. 1. (1Q) Ethan Sandberg DUNK (8 points) 2. 2. Musa Kasanga 3- pt (14 pts) pt (14 pts) 3. Tayshawn Metz 3- pts and the Celly! SOUTH BURLINGTON GETS THE WIN… DESPITE THIS NICE STEP THROUGH BY KASANGA… THEY SWEEP THE SESAON SERIES AND IN HINESBURG TONIGHT… THE REDHAWKS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AGAIN… PUSHING THEIR RECORD TO 11 AND 2… DEFEATING THE COUGARS 51-31. SAM SWEENEY… WHO IS EMERGING AS THE LIKLEY CANIDATE FOR PLAYER OF THE YEAR… GAVE A GAME HIGH 12 POINTS FOR THE REDHAWKS… ADDING TO HIS IMPRESSIVE SCORING SEASON…. THOUGH HIS HEAD COACH SAYS ITS THE OTHER THINGS HE DOES WELL.. THAT MIGHT WIN HIM SOME HARDWARE. <MICHAEL OSBORNE, HEAD COACH, “WE’LL ITS SORT OF EASY TO PICK OUT THE SHOOTING, IN A LOT OF WAYS ITS THE FIRST THING YOU SEE BUT WHAT I’VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY WITH IS HIS FLOOR GAME. HE’S ADDING FOUR OR FIVE REBOUNDS… FOUR OR FIVE ASSISTS… COUPLE STEALS. HE’S TAKING ON MORE OF A LEADERSHIP AND SOME OTHER SCORES — AROUND THE STATE — IN BOYS’ HOOPS — ST. J — ABLE TO PICK UP A ROAD WIN OVER ESSEX — WITH A NEAR 20 POINT VICTORY. AND BLUE MOUNTAIN — PICKING UP ITS FIFTH STRAIGHT WIN — OVER OXBOW. AND IN GIRLS HOOPS — FAIR HAVEN UNION — CONTINUING A STRONG START TO ITS SEASON — AFTER PICKING UP ITS 13TH VICTORY — AGAINST MOUNT ANTHONY — AND BURR AND BURTON — SQUEAKING OUT A WIN AGAINST SPRINGFIELD — FOR ITS 11TH DUB OF THE YEAR. PLAYING FOR MORE THAT A GAME… TONIGHT IN WINOOSKI… THE ANNUAL COACHES VS CANCER GAME… HELPING RAISE AWARENESS TO THOSE FIGHTING THE DEADLY ILLNESS. FANS WHO ATTENDED TONIGHTS GAME IN WINOOSKI… WE’RE ENCOURAGED TO WEAR PINK… SHOWING SUPPORT FOR THE CAUSE. BOTH THE BOYS AND THE GIRLS WELCOMED IN THE RAIDERS FROM STOWE HIGH SCHOOL… WHO COLLABORATED IN THE EFFORT BY WEARING PINK WARM UP SHIRTS. BOTH SCHOOLS CAME AWAY WITH VICTORIES… STOWE IN THE GIRLS GAME… WHILE THE WINOOSKI BOYS STAY UNDEFEATED AT 10-0… BUT THE MESSAGE ABOUT GETTING SCREANED… AND SUPPORTING YOUR COMMUNITY… IS BIGGER THAN ANY NUMBER ON THE SCOREBOARD. <SAM JACKSON, WINOOSKI ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, “IT’S GOOD TO BRING AWARENESS RIGHT AND REALLY TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT THIS IMPACTS MANY DIFFERENT COMMUNIRTIES AND CAN HAPPED TO US AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THE EARLIER WE SCREEN AND THE EARLIER THAT WE DO THINGS LIKE THAT, THE BETTER THE CHANCE OF OUR SURVIVAL. ITS GOOD TO HAVE BOTH SCHOOLS INVOLVED, AND CELEBRATING ONE THEME AND THAT IS YOU KNOW ONE COMMNITY AND ONE FAMILY.”> ALL RIGHT — STRAIGHT TO BREAK WE GO — BUT STAY ROWDY — WE GOT MORE HOOPS
