Salem HS at Heritage HS
January 19 at Curtis Bell Gymnasium in Conyers, GA
girls - 74
boys - 75
After the Heritage girls built a lead as large as 16 points & hung on for a 40-35 victory, Michael Green took over the nightcap.
The Salem guard scored a career-high 36 points on 13-of-19 shooting and the Seminoles won a thriller, 63-62 in overtime.
Green is an unsigned senior, but he'll find a collegiate home and Tuesday he put on a show for any potential scouts in attendance. Green scored all 13 of Salem's first-quarter points and 16 of its 19 in the opening half, nailing his first four 3-pointers.
He added 17 more in the second half, then drained a huge three with 1:20 left in the extra session (he finished 7-of-8 from behind the arc) to get Salem to within 62-61. Green's back court mate, Devonate Hedgespeth, hit the eventual winning free throws with five seconds to play. It was the Seminoles' fourth consecutive win and it pulled them even with their cross town rivals at 7-3 in Region 8-AAAAA.
Since starting the year 15-1, Heritage has dropped four straight.
