Corinth Holders @ Cleveland
Many students are coming off completing exams in Johnston County and the athletes were ready to take the floor. Tonight, the Corinth Holders Pirates (5-11, 3-2 in Two Rivers 3A) took the near 30-minute drive to visit a conference foe, the Cleveland Rams (5-14, 0-5 in Two Rivers 3A). Both schools opened up in 2010 so regardless of conference, it's a rivalry game in Johnston County. The Pirates outscored the Rams 26-14 in the fourth quarter to stun the Rams, 52-49. Cleveland and the rest of the "Ram Fam" in attendance thought Cleveland would pick up their first conference win over the Pirates after beginning the third quarter on a 17-5 run but Coach Chris Davis and the Pirates had other ideas. Trey Adams, the Pirates' starting center, led the Pirates with 15 points, including 9 of which came in the fourth quarter where the Pirates came back to seal the deal. Starting power forward Johnavan Neal and shooting guard DeMorris Lee helped Adams with the scoring as Neal had 10 and Lee finished with nine. As for the Rams, freshman Elisha Hayes led things scoring wise finishing with 13. Ole Miss baseball commit, Tyler Keenan and fellow senior Garrett Davenport both shot the 3 ball well combining to knock down a combined five triples. The Pirates and Rams both will take the floor once again in one week, Jan. 27. on the road. Corinth Holders will start "Round 2" of Conference play heading to Smithfield-Selma to face the Spartans, who the Pirates took down 61-45 in Wendell on January 3rd. The Rams on the other hand, travel to Two Rivers 3A Conference leader, the Triton Hawks next Friday in Erwin. The Hawks beat Cleveland by 10, 46-36 also on Jan. 3.
