Caps Fall to Garner in Athens Final
A frigid shooting start to open the game proved to be too much to overcome as the Caps fell to the Trojans 77-69. The Caps fell behind 23-0 in the 1st, and managed to go into the half down 43-22.
The Caps made a rally in the third, cutting the lead to 8 with 1:45 remaining in the quarter, but that's as close as it would get until the final score.
Caps return to CAP-8 conference action next week v. Enloe

Caps JV Cagers Advance to Final
The Caps Boys JV advanced to the finals of the Athens tourney with a 49-34 victory of the host Jags. Defense was again the theme of the night, with the Caps full court pressure leading to some easy scores. Vonshae Lewis chipped in two three pointers for a 12-6 1st quarter lead.
The 2nd featured more of the same as Athens played a 2-3 zone in an effort to slow the potent Caps attack. Kyle Johnston drew 2 charges, and the defensive pressure applied by the Caps insured that Athens got no closer than the 27-20 halftime score. The Caps will play Garner tomorrow night for the title.
Scoring: Lewis 11, Johnston 8, Robinson 6, Mohamed 5, Minton 5, Griffin 4, Holmes 3, Thomas 3, Palmer 2, Spenser 2.

Broughton JV Boys Top Cary Academy in Athens Tourney
The Caps came out strong in 1st qtr, with a swarming defense and controlling the boards in opening game v. Cary Academy. Luke Sasser corraled 4 rebs and Brooks Palmer added two 3 pointers during the quarter which ended with the Caps in control 30-11.
Jaishon Spenser, Yoel Griffin and Vonshae Lewis kept the pedal to the metal in the 2nd quarter with a virtual endless stream of fast break buckets. At the half the Caps lead was 50-24.
Little changed after intermission. Coach White substituted liberally, and the Caps' depth and talent was too much for the Chargers. Unselfish play, pinpoint passing and a defense that forced over 30 turnovers left only the final score in doubt.
The final: Caps 75 Chargers 39.
Scoring: Lewis 16, Spenser 12, Griffin 10, Palmer 8, Thomas 7, Mohamed 6, Holmes 6, Minton 5, Johnson 4, Robinson 2
Caps advance to face host Jaguars WED at 7 pm

JV Boys Basketball
Rally Falls Short at Wake Forest-Rolesville!
The JV Boys Basketball team travelled to Wake Forest on Thursday night to play the Wake Forest-Rolesville Cougars.
The Caps put themselves in a big hole as Wake Forest pulled out to a 24-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Broughton's defense improved and the offense was more effective in the second quarter as the Caps fought back to trail by 11 at halftime 36-25.
Broughton's defense strengthened even more in the 3rd quarter allowing the Cougars just 4 points, and we were down by just three as the teams began the fourth quarter with the Cougars leading 40 - 37.
But the Caps could not close that gap and the game ended with a score of Wake Forest 57 - Broughton 52.
Nine players scored for Broughton with Vonshae Lewis leading the away with 11 points, and Kyle Johnston and Jaishon Spencer with 8 points each.
Broughton's record now stands at 4-2 with the next game scheduled at home on Monday the 19th, against Gibbons.

Varsity Men's Basketball Victorious over the Pride
It was a game riddled with turnovers and failed free throws - BUT - the Caps were able to pull out the WIN against Leesville.
In the 2nd quarter Leesville made a run for the lead, but Jamie Rucker gave us a show with 2 perfect 3 pointers and brought the Caps to a 7 point lead (28 -21).
At the end of the 3rd the Pride scored a 3-pointer at the buzzer! This gave them a glimmer of hope since the Broughton lead 'was only' 10.......
The 4th quarter was pretty intense with each team making errors, but it would be the Caps who would be victorious through good defensive play. Varsity walked away with a 10 point victory over Leesville Road HS. Final 64 to 54
Caps travel to Cary High tonight at 7:00.

Varsity Women's Basketball Team Plays Hard and Scares Millbrook in a Tough Game
Broughton Varsity Girls played a tough game tonight against Millbrook. It was Broughton 29 Millbrook 30 at halftime. The girls played great defense and eventually were able to cause Briana Day (UNC Recruit) and another starter for Millbrook to foul out because we drove to the basket. In the third quarter, with 27.4 seconds to go, the score was Broughton 41 Millbrook 42.
The Lady Caps led by Justice Byrd, Adrienne Simmons, sisters Kaila and Nadine Ealey and guard Megan Sullivan matched Millbrook head to head. Kimberly Spruill and Jamella Foster also contributed with strong play. The Lady Caps pushed the Millbrook girls and created a turnover with a technical called on their team. Then Millbrook changed their strategy and played a zone defense which caused some turnovers for Broughton.
The final score was Broughton 53 Millbrook 62. This does not reflect how great our girls played and how hard they fought to win this game. All of the other girls on the team showed great support: Catherine Becton, Emily Newton, Maddie Massarelli, Ellis Wall, Laura Robertson (injured) and Nicole Bellamy (injured). Coach Dayna Jordan coached a great game. Congratulations Lady Caps!!!
