Celtics square off against each other....

Ex-Celtics C.J. Sidorakis, sophomore at Jenks, went head to head versus Broken Arrow's Corey Shannon and his Tiger teammates tonight in a 6A shootout at the BA gym. Great game that went back and forth until the Tigers forged a seemingly comfortable lead with less than a minute remaining. But Jenks battled back and forced an overtime when Bryson Pope drilled a 3 pointer with 2 seconds left in regulation. Pope had a terrible offensive performance as his shots repeatedly did everything but go through the hoop throughout almost the entire game, but the athletic junior provided the game tying shot, and Jenks took two overtimes to finally dispel the home Tigers.

It was an exciting game that saw Vince Boncaldo, 6'7" Jenks center sustain a cut on his eye that required a butterfly bandaid and a change of bloody jersey. Boncaldo's presence was felt as he played solidly in the overtimes. Sidorakis had a nice driving layup just before halftime and hit a big 3 pointer in the 2nd overtime to help Jenks take finally take control of the game. Pt guard Doug McKnight had a huge 3rd quarter with 4 strong drives and a 3 pointer to notch 11 points in the 8 minute frame.

Both teams substituted freely and Shannon played a typical Corey game as he had some key rebounds, a big layup in the fourth quarter and swished in a long 3 pt attempt in the first overtime to help Broken Arrow advance to the 2nd overtime. At times, he was matched up with Sidorakis, while Bryson Pope covered Corey on the BA offensive end during several stints.

Tulsa Jammer Anthony Harris started and played a solid game in limited action for Jenks Coach Martin.
