Brevard Blue Ducks News Release
Easton, PA â A day after netting 23 points against Brevard, Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs guard Willie Chandler scorched the Blue Ducks for 24 to go along with fellow guard Tim Winn's 30, helping Pennsylvania hand Brevard their second straight defeat at Lehigh Arena, 110-95.
The Ducks played harder and with more energy than in their lopsided loss the night before, but the Dawg's guards were too much for them as Pennsylvania moved to 5-2 for the season and ahead of Brevard in the standings.
Down only seven at 6:00 in the fourth quarter, the Ducks wilted again down the stretch.
"Their guard play was incredible," remarked Blue Ducks coach, Derek Howard. "They were a notch above us the whole series. We're going to have our hands full next week with them back in Brevard."
The lone bright spot for Brevard was the renewed play of their starting point guard, Earl "Pep" Tyson, who finished with 24 points. Forwards Darryl Hardy and Ike Spencer finished with 18 and 15 points, respectively. Rookies Adam Hall and Myron Allen were held in check for the second straight game.
"Our rookies are certainly getting an education as to what life is like on the road in the pro's," said team owner, Mike Richman. "This experience will only make them better. Hopefully, that will happen pretty quickly."
Duck Notes: It will be another long night for Brevard. After a shower and a quick bite, the team will drive the 250 miles to Adirondack for their game tomorrow night against the Wildcats. The Ducks will then return home Monday.
Hoping to take full benefit of their home court advantage, the Blue Ducks will be hosting several area schools at the Clemente Center during their games Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, offering two-for-one tickets. Wednesday's (7th) and Friday's (9th) contests are against the Adirondack Wildcats and start at 7:00 PM. Saturday's (10th) game against the Pennsylvania ValleyDawgs marks the return of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins to Brevard.
Sunday's Mother's Day contest will be promoted as "Bring Your Mom Chocolate for Mother's Day." All moms will be given free admission to see Brevard take on Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins' Pennsylvania ValleyDawg team in the second of their back-to-back games. Sunday's game will start at 5:00 PM.
