Cary Outlasts the Raleigh Revolt, 104-99
November 23, 2014 - Tobacco Road Basketball League (TRBL)
Fayetteville Crossover News Release
Cary, NC: On paper, the game looked to be every bit as good as it was. Three former Invasion players and five former TRBL All Stars suited up for the upstart Raleigh Revolt against the league powerhouse Cary Invasion, the same team that has lost only twice in Cary in its last 5 seasons. Through a whistle-heavy three quarters, neither team could muster a lead of more than a couple of baskets. Cary utilized dribble penetration from its lightning-fast back court to score its points. The Revolt put its strong post and swing players to work to keep pace.
Former Invasion player and Shaw University standout Daniel Jackson had a monster game, leading all scorers with 30 points and 15 rebounds for the Revolt, but the effort just came up short. The pivotal point in the game occurred late in the fourth quarter. Leading 95-90 with the ball with just 4 minutes left, the Revolt looked on the way to closing out the game. Another former Invasion player and TRBL All Star Freddie Little barely missed an open three-point shot that would have put the Revolt up by 8 points. Instead, the Invasion grabbed the rebound and went the length of the court for a quick score. A few quick turnovers by the Revolt put Cary in the driver's seat. The home team went on a 14-4 run to close out the game, capped off by an intentional foul in the closing seconds of the game. Cary wins 104-99. Guard Paul Wright (Mountain State) led the Invasion with 20 points.
Raleigh (0-1) hosts the All American Ballers (Fayetteville) on December 6th at 6 pm on the campus of Shaw University. Cary (2-0) next hosts the Wilmington Sea Dawgs (1-1) on the same day at 7 pm at the Herb Young Center.
