Phoenix Dominate Defenders


CHAMBERSBURG, Pa.- The Wilson men's hoops team took on the Defenders of Clarks Summit University this afternoon in a CSAC matchup. The Phoenix (10-10, 6-2 CSAC) rolled to a 40-point victory over the Defenders (0-19, 0-7 CSAC) in a game where Zachary Powell (Manassas, Va., Osbourn) had 17 points to pace the Phoenix. 

How It Happened: Things were close in the first five minutes of the contest before Wilson erupted on a 20-6 run to take a 31-13 lead. The Phoenix took control of the contest after that 18-point margin quickly turned into a 25-point advantage after a 12-0 run by Wilson. Ian Hess (Orlando, Fla., Lyman) started the Phoenix spurt with a three and after a few free throws, Christian White (Woodbridge, Va., Gar-Field SHS) hit a fast break jumper off of a pass from Daeshaun Johnson (Waldorf, Md., St. Charles HS). The Defenders took some momentum into halftime by finishing the half scoring nine straight points, however they still trailed 46-28 at the break. 

Clarks Summit came out in the second half and immediately scored, unfortunately for the visiting Defenders, their next bucket wouldn't come for another five minutes. After allowing a score to open the half, the Phoenix took off on an 18-0 run to take a 68-30 lead. Zachary Powell had 12 of his 17 points during the 18-0 run including 2 three-pointers. Wilson continued to control the game on both ends of the floor and with just over five minutes to play they held a 39-point lead. The Phoenix poured on 52 points in the half and went on to win the game 98-58 over the Defenders. 

Inside the Box Score: Offensively, Wilson shot 40% from the field and knocked down 15 three-pointers in the game to shoot 44%. Powell led the Phoenix with 17 points including 4 three-pointers.
