Friday, December 4, 2015 at the 3RD ANNUAL FRED PICKETT CLASSIC in
the Chester High School Fred Pickett Gym where the Clippers basketball
team had a very exciting game with Sanford of Delaware. Usually, Chester dominates Sanford but Sanford
came to play and play hard they did. I sat next to a Sanford parent who was
cheering on her son, Mikey. I said, your guys have been practicing. Sanford
dominated the Clippers in the first half of the game shutting them out at the
top of the game to score 10 points before the Clippers came on board with a 3
pointer. By the end of the first quarter the score was 13 to 20 Sanford. Chester
crept up on Sanford in the second quarter with free throws but Sanford maintained
the lead to end 28 to 31. At the top of third quarter, the Clippers made a
comeback starting out with a 3 pointer to tie the game before taking the lead
as Sanford showed signs of fatigue making errors. My Sanford parent got worried at this point in
the game and I got a little confident. So this is what happens when you come
out too hard at the start of the game, you get tired at the end. Chester now
leads 47 to 40. Chester led with 5 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. They
did not capitalized on the lead so Sanford came back to tied the game up 51 to
51; a bit of a tug of war with the scores with Chester leading by 1 point then
Sanford by 3 points before tying again 55 to 55 with about 3 and a half minutes
to go in the game. Sanford took the lead 55-57 with under 3 minutes and took a
hold of the ball and let the clock run down tossing the ball from player to
player. Oh, my God. This was not alright. With under a minute left, Chester
regained the ball bringing the score 57-58 (DE). 32 seconds then 12 seconds to
go Sanford made the final shots ending the game 57 to 59. Chester lost their
game opener to Sanford.
