Player of the Week Tulsa World - Brock Morton

Holland Hall's 6'5" senior, combo guard Brock Morton added to his growing list of achievements this week when he was named the Tulsa World Player of the Week. It came on the heels of the Dutch's Friday night / Saturday afternoon S.P.C. conference double-header with Fort Worth's All Saints Episcopal and then Arlington Oakridge. Morton notched 39 points against All Saints incuding 18 of 20 free throws.

The Dutch raised their record to 19-2 on the season, and 7-0 in the SPC conference. But Arlington Oakridge gave them all they could handle. The Texas squad employed a slowdown game, often forcing Holland Hall to play defense for over 40 seconds per possession. They held an 18-12 advantage at halftime. But the Dutch came out with a newfound energy in the 3rd quarter as Morton drained a 3 pt shot from the corner and then zipped into a passing lane for a steal and the Dutch were on their way back. They tied the game going into the 4th quarter, and Morton and Kwami Sexton keyed the comeback victory. Morton scored 11 points in both the 3rd and 4th quarter and the ultra athletic Sexton dazzled the crowd on both ends of the court. Click here to see the Box Score.

SPC CONFERENCE SHOWDOWN
The Dutch jumped out to a 15-0 lead on Trinity Valley on January 17th, 2009 at the Dutch gym. Trinity entered the game with a 17-6 record in Texas, and Holland Hall hit them hard. But Trinity was not ready to head back to Texas with their head held down, and actually fought back to tie the game at 51-51. But Morton again came through in the clutch for the Dutch, and nailed 4 straight free throws to seal the victory and keep Holland Hall undefeated in conference play.

Holland Hall 61 - Cascia Hall 60
The mighty Cascia Hall Commando's came into the Holland Hall's gymnasium a prohibive favorite. The Tulsa World focused in on the girls game, but did give some paragraphs to the boys battle too. Good thing they did, as the Cascia girls won easily, while the boys game went down to the last seconds as Holland Hall knocked off the highly ranked Commandos 61-60, led by Brock Morton's 28 points. Bailey Miles drilled three straight trifecta's in the 3rd quarter to spark the Dutch.

Tourney of Champs- Jenks wins again!

Marshall Morris had a breakout game for Jenks as he notched 18 points to lead the Trojans to the Championship of the Tourney of Champs at the Fairgrounds Pavilion in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Trojans had a seemingly safe 8 pt lead with 1:45 left but Booker T Washington's Brian Harris long range bombs and free throw shooting cut the margin to 1 point, 59-58, with 10.8 seconds left. Jenks Brian Brookey went to the line with 5 seconds left and made 1 of 2, setting up Harris with a last second shot that missed, which would have stolen the game from Jenks.

T.J. Smith, Harris, Ian Ponds, Nick Harris and Tharone Chilton led the Hornets.

Jenks was led by Morris, the steady rebounder and defender seemed due to break out after a first round game where his short shots were just a fraction off. Point guard Doug McKnight had a strong scoring second half to finish with 11 points, while TU signee, 6'5" Bryson Pope finished with 17 points despite having a severe challenge at the free throw stripe where he missed 4 of 5 in the 1rst half, and his first 3 of the 2nd half, before calming himself and connecting on his final 4 attempts.
