TUESDAY'S FEATURE GAME
San Antonio Churchill comes into this game riding a wave.  They are recent winners of the Lone Star Invitational, while Converse Judson have come back from the coast with hardware after winning the South Padre Island Invitational.  This one could have deep playoff implications as Churchill has all the pieces to make a run, while after a slow start, Judson is now picking up steam.  That's the trademark of a Mike Wacker squad, much like Austin Bowie's C. C. Collier, their teams get BETTER as the year progresses.

For those of you old enough to remember Houston Oilers Coach Bum Phillips, I harken back to his description of Dolphis great Don Shula.  "He can take his and beat yours, OR take yours & beat his".  That's the impact that Wacker has. Prediction: Judson in a close one where they control the pace.
=========================================================================
The first half was a tale of two quarters. Churchill grabbed an early 20-10 lead behind 2012 G Scott Mammel's hot shooting, while in the 2nd quarter Churchill shot Judson right back in it.  2011 W Cameron Griffin of Judson was far and away the best player on the floor in the first half.

Judson continued to get high energy from Griffin as he filled up the stat sheet with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists to lead all scorers.  Senior Raynell Ishman also gave him offensive support in the 2nd half where he scored all 14 of his points. Senior Trent Matthews had 14 points & 5 rebounds, and 2012 G E.J. Hubbard had 12 & 6 boards for the Rockets.

Judson did not shoot a perimeter shot for the last third of the game, showing great discipline and running clock.  Churchill did hit a couple of three pointers in the 4th but it's tough to come back on a structured, veteran squad that hits it's free throws down the stretch.
2011 G Cameron Griffin of Judson was rockin' the old school flat top.  He gave Churchill the business tonight as he had 24 points and 12 rebounds, including 7/8 from the charity stripe to close the game out for the Rockets.
