The Innovative Staffing Solutions first and second grade boys' basketball team defeated United Way 54-12 on Saturday, December 13, 2008. Everyone for Innovative got into the scoring column as the team clicked on all cylinders.
Isaac Ray got things started off quickly for the victors as he pilfered a steal just seconds into play, driving coast-to-coast for the first bucket of the game. Isaac ended up with 2 points on 1 for 5 shooting. He had 4 steals and 2 rebounds while only turning the ball over twice. Isaac did a really good job on defense, shutting down his opponents. But where Isaac did best was in his constant setting of excellent picks for his teammates, creating several scoring opportunities for his team.
Donovan Ferguson had 16 points in a balanced attack on 8 for 20 shooting from the field. It took him a while to warm up, but once he did there was hardly any stopping him. Donovan played very good defense as well as he garnered 7 steals while pulling down 10 boards, giving him a double-double for the contest. Donovan also had 1 assist to his partner, Jackson Nichols, who led all scorers with 22 points. Donovan committed only 2 turnovers.
It was really good to see the players pass up open shots down the stretch in order to work the ball to their teammates. It was this unselfish style of play which made it possible for all players to score as Landon Kasey had a basket in the final period of play.
The victory gives Innovative a 4-2 record for the season. It also assures them of a winning mark for the season as they have one more game left to play.
