SOUTH SHARES THE WEALTH, AND THE VICTORY OVER ARROWS
By KEVIN VAN BRIMMER, News-Sun Sports Writer
One basketball may just be enough for South after all.
On a team full of scorers and stars, everybody got their shots _ and their points _ as the Wildcats exploded for 100 points in their season opener Friday night at Tecumseh.
Four South players comfortably reached double digits, led by Nate Miller’s 27 points, in routing the Arrows 100-50.
“A lot of people looked at this team and thought we’d have to have two or three balls to keep everybody happy,” said South coach Larry Ham. “These kids find the open man.
Senior point guard Isiah Carson posted 19 points, 11 coming in a second-quarter run that opened up the game for the Wildcats. James Cooper, in his South debut, added 17 and Jabril Thomas finished with 15.
“We’re all unselfish,” Miller said. “We’re good at finding the hot hand. We get it to each other.”
Carson said he was never concerned with one or two players becoming selfish and taking the rest of the team out of the game offensively.
“We all grew up together, played basketball together,” he said. “We work well together. We scored 100, so you can’t ask for much more.”
