The Clippers started fast in this
contest scoring 25 first quarter points enroute to an easy 63-51 triumph over Philadelphia's
Frankford Pioneers. Junior Marquis Collins got the scoring started with a
trey and would end the quarter with another for 6 of his game high 16 points.
Senior guard Keyonte Watkins also drained two opening quarter treys, added
a short jumper and was 1 of 2 from the line for 9 of his season high 11
points. Junior guard Khaleeq Campbell added a trey as Chester was feeling
it from deep with 5 treys in the 1st quarter. Sophomore forward Jamar
Sudan made his presence felt in the paints with 5 of his 15
points. Sudan finished the night with his second double-double of the
young season by hauling in 14 rebounds establishing himself a new career
high. In the second quarter, the Clippers focused their offense in
the paint where they scored 11 of their 16 second quarter point. Sophomore
Jordan Camper got the Clippers started scoring three the old fashioned way,
followed by a bucket by junior Juanir Moore. After a bucket from Campbell and
three free throws, two from Sudan and one by junior Jahmi Bailey; the Pioneers
found themselves on the short end of a Chester 10-0 run. A trey from Frankford
at the 4:40 mark made the score Chester 35, Frankford 20. The teams broke
at the intermission with Chester leading 41-28. The third period was a
march to the free throw line for both teams; Chester connected on 6 of 6
while Frankford knocked down 6 of 7. With one additional basket, the
Clippers pushed their margin back to 15 points for a 53-38 score
to end the quarter. Neither team could find their mark at the line in the
final period as the contest came to a close with a floater by junior Stanley
Davis and two free throws from Watkins.
Both Collins and Henry each collected 8 rebounds and Watkins added 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 rebounds to the stat sheet.
