With a total of 25 baskets, Josh Bonney of Lamar High School led the Redskins to victory on Friday night against the Taylor Lions, 48-44.  As Bonney fought early on in the 1st quarter sinking most of Lamar’s baskets, he clearly stood out as a threat to the Lions from the beginning.

With his consistent efforts, he ended up contributing more than half of the team’s total points and gave the game that edge that kept fans on their feet.

Although he was the energy that jumpstarted his team for the ultimate win, it did not at all come easy, for there was another very powerful source that charged the Lions as well. 
 The junior guard Denzelle Stevenson, from Taylor High, was the secret weapon for his team. He was also the star, which was obvious from the wave of fans that stood up in anticipation and swooped down in unison with each 3-point swish that was made.

His team was very connected and read each other perfectly through most of the first half.  The wise passes and quick decisions that almost seemed choreographed are really what made this game so close for them.  In the first half it really looked as if they had the game in the bag, but the 3-point shooting star began to dim as passes were broken and balls stolen. 

The second half was when it really started looking like anyone’s ball game as the Redskins could not stop their fouling streak and handed the Lions numerous free throw shots.
