Knights Fall To Guntersville
In 2nd Overtime

Arab, Jan 10, 2009 – Special
It took two overtimes but the Guntersville Wildcats final overtook the Arab Knights on the strength of two late free throws in a low scoring affair played at Arab Jr. High Saturday evening. The night’s scoring totals were the lowest of the season for each team, to some extent the result of solid defensive play. In the end, the Wildcats prevailed 31 – 29.

The game’s leading scorer was Arab’s Jared Myers who finished with 10 points. Myers was credited with four steals and six rebounds. Lake Graham finished with nine points, six rebounds, and two blocked shots for the Knights before fouling out late in the fourth quarter.

Tucker Bridges and Darrel Jackson each scored eight to lead Guntersville. Bridges also pulled down eight rebounds while Jackson collected seven. Mathew Bass was the game’s leading rebounder with 11, as the Wildcats out-rebounded the Knights 43 – 31.

The Arabian Knights will now regroup and prepare for an important Area 14 match-up with Madison County Tuesday night at Madison County.

The Wildcats will be at home Monday night against Albertville.

Thanks to Arab statisticians Dr. Andy Mann and Jake Maze for game data.
