7/2 Game 1 Recap

Gunnas out-gun Dream Chasers for first win of season.

Transition offense, second chance points prove too much for Dream Chasers to handle.

The Gunnas came out firing Monday night against the Dream Chasers, and this time didn’t let up.  With a final score of 102-92, the Gunnas picked up their first win on the season.

It seemed every time the Dream Chasers got the lead down to single digits, the Gunnas came up with a bucket, whether by means of transition offense, three pointers, or second chance opportunities.  The lack of rebounding by the Dream Chasers certainly didn’t hurt the Gunnas. This defensive flaw was instrumental in the victory.

The Dream Chasers got as close as 7 points in the third quarter, but their momentum was quickly halted by an alley-oop from Wes Jackson to Deandre Preaster. The closest they got the rest of the game was again 7 points with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter. This time, Jackson took matters into his own hands, getting to the paint and drawing a foul while finishing at the basket. From there the game was mainly controlled by the Gunnas, keeping a lead of 10-12 points.

Preaster finished the game with a double-double, recording 21 points and 15 rebounds. Jackson was the leading scorer for the Gunnas, finishing with 23 points. Brian Zapisek led the Dream Chasers with 26 points.

The Gunnas look to continue their success against the Bless Ballers Wednesday, July 11^th at 6:45 P.M. at Notre Dame High School. The Dream Chasers search for their first win Monday, July 9^th at 6:45 P.M. against Greater Grace. The game will also be played at Notre Dame High School
