All eight Knights score in 86-30 win
All eight players scored at least two points as the Greenfield School varsity boys basketball team launched North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association 1-A Coastal Plain Independents Conference play by overwhelming visiting Pope John Paul of Greenville, 86-30, Wednesday night.
The second win in three nights vaulted the Knights’ overall record to 11-10. Greenfield breaks from conference play to welcome Crossroad Christian at 6 p.m. Thursday.
The Knight stretched a 27-6 margin after one quarter to 50-16 at halftime. The margin reached 40 points early in the second half — resulting in the officials instructing the clock keeper to run the clock continuously.
“We did a good job on the defensive end, and we have really been emphasizing that,” assessed Greenfield head coach Rob Salter. “We knew we overmatched them, but I was pleased we made some hustle plays that got us the ball back.
Five of the eight Knights scored in double figures. Senior Jake Taylor turned in a sparkling all-around performance with 15 points, six rebounds and six assists.
Junior Dorieon Suggs led the Greenfield scoring with 18 points. Sophomore Coby White bucketed 14, senior Luke Taylor 13 and sophoore D.J. Rawlinson 10.
The Knights also connected on 7 of 16 shots from 3-point range.
The top scorer was Pope John Paul’s Shyquan Jones with 23 points.
