Broughton breaks Glaxo record!
By Bryan Hanks, Kinston Free Press
Staats Battle and Raleigh Broughton used the 3-ball to their advantage in Thursday’s first game of the GlaxoSmithKline Holiday Invitational and finished fifth in the Shavlik Randolph Foundation portion of the GSK with a 79-66 victory against Knightdale. The fifth-place finish is the best for the Capitals since 2001, when Broughton was fourth.
“We have six seniors on this team and they’re the glue for this program,” Broughton coach Jeff Ferrell said. “I’m just very proud of what they’ve accomplished. It’s been a long time since Broughton has won two games in the Glaxo.”
Battle hit 7 of 8 3-pointers – one short of the individual Glaxo game record – to score a game-high 26 points. His effort helped Broughton tie the tournament record for 3-pointers in a game (11), which is held by Kinston (1994). The Capitals also broke the record for 3-pointers in a tournament with 24; the previous record was 23 by Santa Ana (Calif.) Valley, also in 1994.Staats Battle was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Broughton (10-2) had three other players score in double digits – Cyrus Stewart with 14, Conor Strickland with 13 and Devonte’ Graham with 12.
The Knights (7-7) were led by Deshaun Griffin’s 18 points, Jalen Jones’ 16 and Ahamad Abdullah’s 12 points and four assists.
“I have to give a lot of credit to Broughton for their shooting in their win,” Knightdale coach Battle Watkins said. “They were also really good at moving the ball around.”

Broughton wins 5th Place in Glaxo! Best since 2001.
Live Blog: Broughton pulls away in the fourth quarter to defeat Knightdale
By Chris Edwards (Reporter at High School OT)
Share FINAL: Broughton 79, Knightdale 66
Knightdale began the quarter trying to get back in the game and really playing hard, diving after loose balls and making it a game. But, as they've done all game, Broughton came storming back and built a 12 point lead with five and a half to play. The Knights then cut the lead to 11 and were on the verge of making a comeback, but a team tech was called on the Knights for having six players on the court following a missed free throw. But, to their credit, the Knights didn't let that get them down and they kept fighting and made it a nine point lead.
That was as close as they'd get as Broughton came storming back building a 12-point advantage with just over two minutes left.
Once again, Knightdale came storming back cutting the lead to eight with one minute to play. That's when the Knights tried to extend the game by fouling and Broughton made their free throws and put the game away.
Ahmad Abdullah led Knightdale in fourth quarter scoring with five points in the quarter. For the Capitals, Cyrus Stewart scored nine points in the fourth.
For the Caps this is their best finish in the Galxo since 2001. The Caps also set the tournament record for most team three-pointers during a tournament with 24.The Caps tied the tournament record for most team three-pointers in a game with 11.Staats Battle's 7 three-pointers in this game was one off the tournament record.

END 3Q: Broughton 51, Knightdale 44
Broughton began the second half on fire as the opened the third quarter on a 6-0 run in just 56 seconds and grew their lead to 41-29 prompting Knightdale head coach, Battle Watkins to call timeout.
After the timeout, it seemed wasn't able to get anything going to cut into the Brooughton lead. The Caps managed to have enough offense to keep around a 10 point lead for the majority of the third quarter.
Devonte Graham had six points in the third to lead Broughton. Late in the quarter, Staats Battle picked up his third personal foul which could present problems for the Caps later in the game.
With Battle out, Knightdale went on a mini scoring spree to pull to within seven heading to the fourth.
Leading the Knights was Deshaun Griffin with five points in the quarter.
HALFTIME: Broughton 35, Knightdale 29
After a red hot first quarter, Staats Battle and his Broughton teammates really cooled off, meanwhile, Knightdale found a way to get back in the game as Jalen Jones scored four points, as did Deshaun Griffin. Those four points moved Knightdale to within two points of the lead with 2:37 left in the half. But, Broughton did just enough to maintain their lead going to the locker room.
The Caps had a late surge to increase the lead as Staats Battle found his shot late in the quarter, hitting his sixth three-pointer of the game and scoring seven points in the second stanza.

END 1Q: Broughton 22, Knightdale 18
The opening eight minutes was full of outside shooting as Broughton and Kinghtdale combined to hit nine three-pointers. For Broughton, Staats Battle hit five of the three's to pace the Caps in scoring in the opening quarter. The Knights got five points from Brian Okoye.Ahamad Abdullah.
However the effort by Battle allowed the Capitals to pull away late in the quarter and lead by four going to the second stanza
PREGAME
Both Knightdale and Broughton have had ups and downs in the Glaxo this week, but they should both be excited about how well they have competed this week. Each squad still has some questions as they face-off today. It should be a battle of two very explosive offenses that are capable of quick strikes. However, the winner of the might be the one who plays the best defense.

Broughton blasts Kinston in Glaxo, 65-45.
Live Blog: Caps blast Kinston at the Glaxo
By Chris Edwards (Reporter from High School OT)
FINAL: Broughton 65, Kinston 45
Early in the final quarter, Kinston went on a quick 3-1 run to pull to within 15 points and that seemed to swing the momentum toward the Vikings, however Jalen Holley hit a three-pointer to moved the lead back to 18 at 48-30 with six and a half minutes to play.
After a Kinston bucket made it 48-32, the Cap's Andrew Ocampo hit a fast break lay-up and on the play, Kinston was called for an intentional foul. That really put the dagger into Vikings comeback efforts as Broughton's lead grew back to 20 points with four and a half to play.
Kinston kept fighting and to their credit refused to quit, but Broughton increased the lead to as many as 27 points with three minutes left.
The Caps will move on to the final day of the Glaxo when they will meet Knightdale at 11AM tomorrow (Thursday, Dec. 30).

END 3Q: Broughton 44, Kinston 27
Broughton was outscored 4-3 over the first thee plus minutes of the third quarter, but they built such a big halftime lead and Kinston still struggled on offense that the poor shooting by the Caps really did not matter. The only field goal for Broughton during that stretch was a Conor Strickland three pointer with 6:40 to play in the quarter. For the Vikings, their only field goal during that time was by Rashad Fields with 5:02 left in the period.
Kinston did put together a late charge to cut the lead to under 20 points with 13.5 seconds left.
For the third quarter, the two teams combined to score just 15 points in the quarter.
HALFTIME: Broughton 39, Kinston 15
The second quarter began as a carbon copy of the first quarter as Broughton began on a 7-0 run to make it a 27-10 lead over the defending 2-A State Champions. For the Caps, the big shot during the spurt was a three pointer by Devonte Graham.
Kinston finally got on the board thanks to a Mike Tyson free throw which made it 27-11 with 6:06 to play in the half. The Vikings just did not get anything going on offense during the second stanza as they looked very out of confused on the offensive end. Broughton, however had no issues finding their offensive stride as Cyrus Stewart hit a big three to increase the Capitals lead to 32-12 with 3:57 left in the half.
After Broughton went up by 20, they did not score for almost two minutes, but neither did Kinston which helped the Capitals maintain the lead until Connor Strickland scored five quick points to give Broughton a 39-15 halftime lead.

END 1Q: Broughton 21, Kinston 10
Broughton got out to a very quick start as they opened the game on a 7-0 run using a Devonte Graham bucket and a Staats Battle three to help extend the lead. With the Caps up by seven, Kinston head coach, Wells Gulledge called for a timeout with his team having yet to score at the 6:06 mark of the quarter.
Following the timeout, the Vikings clawed their way back into the contest thanks to a balanced scoring effort as four different players aided the cause for Kinston. With a little over two minutes left in the quarter, the Capitals led by four, that's when Battle hit his third three of the quarter to open the game up. Parrish Crowder added four late points to give the Capitals a 11 point lead after one.
PREGAME
Broughton is the host school at the Glaxo and on their home court on Monday night, they gave undefeated Middle Creek all they could handle. For the Caps on Monday, they took the game to overtime before the Mustangs pulled out a two point win. Broughton had yesterday off and they return to the Glaxo and Holliday Gym to take on a Kniston team that won the state championship last year.
Kinson played probably their worst game of the young season yesterday afternoon as Riverside took advantage of the Vikings sloppy play. However, Kinston made a run late in the game, down 51-36 with just over six minutes left in the game, the Vikings found their touch from the outside as Josh Dawson caught fire and scored a many of his 21 points in the final stanza.
Both teams can get up and down the court so it should be fun to watch in our third game of the day.

Share FINAL (OT): Middle Creek 63, Broughton 61
Broughton began the overtime one quick 5-0 run thanks to a pair of Chris Corshiani free throws and a Cyrus Stewart three pointer as they took a 61-56 lead with 1:53 left in overtime.
Middle Creek came storming back just like they did in the fourth quarter to claw back and force overtime. Nate Fleming hit the first bucket for the Mustangs to pull to within three points with 95 second to play.
The Mustangs picked up another bucket this time from Brandon Hooks to make it a one-points 61-60 Broughton lead with one minute to play. On the ensuing possession, the Capitals called timeout to set up the offense. But, the Mustangs had other ideas as Quinton Ray picked off a Broughton pass and fed a cutting Donta Davis for the basket and a one-point Middle Creek lead, one they would not relinquish.
Both teams called timeouts over the last 60 seconds and with 9.9 seconds to play, Middle Creek's Jon Moore hit one of two from the line to make it a 63-61 lead. The Capitals had one shot to win it following a timeout with 8.3 seconds left. However, the shot by Chris Corchiani rimed off and Middle Creek remains perfect with a 63-61 come from behind overtime win over Broughton.
For the Mustangs, this will be their first ever trip to the semi-finals in this their third trip to the Glaxo.
Broughton will play in the consolation bracket and will play the loser of the Kinston vs. Riverside game at 12:40 pm on Wednesday ,Dec. 29.at Broughton.

Late in the period, both Leon Hargrove (Middle Creek) and Staats Battle (Broughton) both fouled out after leading their respective teams.
Middle Creek had a shot to win with 10.7 seconds left in regulation, but Donta Davis missed a shot to win it for the Mustangs.
END 3Q: Broughton 46, Middle Creek 36
In the third quarter, both teams turned up the defensive pressure, which allowed Middle Creek to get back into the game and pull to within one point at 36-35 with 2:31 to play in the quarter.
However, over the final two minutes of the quarter, Broughton went inside as Andrew Ocampo scored six points on medium range jump shots. The Caps also converted on the defensive end as Parrish Crowder stole a Mustang pass and converted for an old fashioned three-point play.
Marvin Wilson and Leon Hargrove kept Middle Creek in the game.
HALFTIME: Broughton 25, Middle Creek 21
Trailing by four going into the second period, Broughton went on a 10-4 scoring sprint to pull back to within one at 16-15 with 4:16 left in the half. Eventually, the Caps took the lead for the first time since the four minute mark of the opening quarter.
Sparking the run was great free throw shooting by the Capitals as they went 5/8 from the line in the second quarter. Also, in the second, Devonte' Graham hit two big three-point shots to give Broughton a four point, 20-16 lead with 1:22 to play in the half.
At the end of the half, Marvin WIlson hit a big three to pull the Mustangs to within four at 25-21 at the break.

Middle Creek was led by Leon Hargrove who had four points in the quarter, Marvin Wilson also chipped in three.
For Broughton, four players had two points.
PREGAME
The second game of day one of the GlaxoSmithKline Holiday Invitational will feature two teams who have had very successful starts to the season. The Middle Creek Mustangs out of the Tri-9 conference, undefeated on the season and the host, Broughton Capitals of the Cap-Eight conference, who only have one loss.
Both teams like to get up and down the court so look for this to be a up-tempo game of the offensive side of the ball. On the defensive side of the ball, both squads like to get in your face and force turnovers.
Another big key will the the play of the guards, Middle Creek is very guard heavy but will be without Garrett Leatham, who is playing in a football all-star game.

Soccer: Caps eliminated from State Tourney
The game started with Jordan's quickness dominating play. The Caps were able to deny early shots and opportunities, but looked to be a little frantic early. Fifteen minutes into the match, Jordan's Monbo Bokar put a nice shot into goal from the right wing.
Bokar's goal brought the Caps' midfield and forwards to life. The Caps mounted several dangerous attacks over the next 10 minutes, but none were able to find the back of the net.
With eleven minutes remaining in the half, Jordan was awarded a free kick from about 20 yards out on the left wing. The kick was struck well, saved by Caps keeper Everett McCord, but fell at the feet of a waiting Falcon who gave Jordan a 2-0 lead, which they held until the half ended.
In the second half, Jordan seemed to let up on the accelerator. Although they had fewer opportunities in the second half, they still did a good job of controlling a great deal of the play. Also like the first half, the Caps had some scoring opportunities that were not finished.
As the game clock wound down, the Caps pushed more players forward trying to break through the Falcons' solid defense. A nice pass ahead by Jordan allowed them to get an easy goal with a 1:10 remaining in the match, givng Jordan the 3-0 final margin. Caps' keeper McCord and the defense, played a much better game than the score indicates. McCord made some great saves tonight, including a PK attempt in the second half. Jordan has a very potent scoring offense when they play well.

Soccer: Capitals Win Big in Playoffs
Broughton Seniors Celebrate Cap 8 Tourney Championship won last week by defeating Leesville 3-1 in the finals. |
Nine minutes into the match, Tikvart fed Tollison who put the ball in the far post side netting to give the Caps a 3-0 lead. Five minutes later, Iiames sent a nice cross from the left wing to the cutting Lasso in the penalty box, who shot the 4th goal of the night. Less than a minute later, Iiames blasted the keeper with a strong shot that was blocked back at Iiames feet and he put his second attempt in the goal past the keeper giving the Caps a 5-0 lead fifteen minutes into the match.
Richmond County did not come from Rockingham to give up. With 9 minutes left in the half, they crossed a nice ball from the right wing that was headed into the upper left corner of the net. Three minutes later, Richmond County had a breakaway and managed their second goal. The first half ended with the Caps leading 5-2.
The second half was very similar to the first half. The Caps were able to control play and give most of their team significant playing time. The scoring continued eleven minutes into the half when Taylor Birdsall attacked from his defensive position to blast a goal past the keeper. Five minutes later, Brian Haines struck a beautiful volley into the back of the net to end the scoring for the night.
The game was a great playoff victory and has set-up a rematch with #2 Jordan later this week (Saturday, 6pm at Jordan High). Jordan did beat the Caps 2-1 in the Caps' third match of the season. The Caps have really picked up their game this past month and when given the chance, the Capitals have avenged every loss they have suffered this season. The Jordan rematch should me another great contest.

Soccer: Caps Win Cap8 Tournament!
The game was played on a very wet, and in spots, a very sloppy field. Puddles were spread across the field which would stop the ball immediately upon contact. The first five minutes of the game, it appeared both teams were learning how they were going to play the game around and over the water.
Leesvillle started the scoring 10 minutes into the match when they found an opening in the defense, leaving Caps' keeper, Everett McCord, little chance for the save. The Caps answered a minute later, when a ball served from the right wing was deflected in the box by Forrest Lasso and finished by AJ Iiames to tie the score.
Most of the remaining half, Broughton controlled the ball. With 35 seconds remaining in the half, a foul was called on Leesville from 45 yards out. With 10 seconds remaining in the half, Lassiter Tollison served a perfect ball to the far post, just out of reach of the keeper where Forrest Lasso headed it cleanly into the net, for the winning goal with 6 seconds remaining in the half.
There was no let down for the Caps in the second half. The team played with the intensity they rediscovered two weeks ago which began this winning streak, and it served them well the second half. The Caps controlled the ball and had many nice scoring opportunities. Leesville had a few good scoring opportunities as well, but all were snuffed out by a stingy defense and Caps' keeper McCord. McCord played his fourth great game in a row, subbing for the injured starter Matt Franciosi.
The Caps' frustration at the net was finally ended with 5:00 minutes remaining in the game. An outlet pass to the left wing following a Leesville corner was carried by Tollison across midfield. He played the ball to a streaking CJ Tikvart on the left wing, who then sent a perfect pass to John Pace rushing the middle. Pace ripped the ball into the net for the final score. The victory celebration began!
This was a great victory for a team that struggled mid-season, but for the past two weeks looks like a team ready to win the state. The Caps are playing with the skill and speed they had early season, but with a new found intensity. Their first game in the state tournament will be early next week at Broughton.
