BOYS BASKETBALL ROUNDUP: Records fall as McNeil tops Stony Point

David Schmitt. “His size at the point guard position is really difficult to defend.” Donovan Armstrong of Round Rock draws a foul from Carrington Kearney. Round Rock lost to Hendrickson at home, 57-55, on January 15, 2016. Henry Huey for Round Rock Leader. Fueled by Bailey’s inspired performance, McNeil was able to gut out a pivotal victory that establish the Mavericks as the front-runner for the district crown. It wasn’t as much of a cakewalk as the final score suggests, however. The Mavericks built a 20-11 lead after the first quarter, weathered several Stony Point runs in the second and third quarters, then ended the game on an 28-18 run to seal the 12-point victory. The Mavericks shot 49 percent (27-of-55) from the field, and Bailey was even better, finishing at 65 percent (15-of-23). Bailey was also 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line. Bailey’s record-breaking performance wasn’t the only major accomplishment by a Mavericks player on the night. In the second quarter, Armoni Brooks scored the 1,000th point of his career, joining Abrams (2,259), Page (2,259), Robert Waters (1,206), Andrew Page (1,069), and Myron Hardy (1,010) as the only players in program history to breach the 1,000-point mark. Stony Point was led by 16 points by Kyle Banks. Blake Buckner contributed 15. McNeil continued its quest toward district perfection with a home game against Pflugerville on Jan. 19, and the Mavs travel to Round Rock on Jan. 22. Stony Point hosted Rouse on Jan. 19 before traveling to Pflugerville on Jan. 22. Cedar Ridge falls to Rouse by 15 Cedar Ridge (8-9, 1-4) followed its first district win of the year with ...

Year today, gone tomorrow

We’ve celebrated the mighty ABs keeping their mitts on Willie Webb Ellis’s trophy. Watched our rowers and Lisa Carrington send the rest of the world to the watery depths of also-rans. Shaken awe-struck heads at the birdie-making, million-dollar, world No.1-producing swing of Lydia Ko. Got dizzy from IndyCars champion Scott Dixon going round . . . and round . . . and round; and savoured our Kiwis gorging themselves on an Anzac test feast of barbecued medium-rare kangaroo. Now we can drench our senses in summer lovin’. Sink into, not perch nervously on the edge of the couch. Change gears from turbo to cruise mode. Now I can work on my swing. But before the divots fly at Watson Park; before Herald sports reporter John Hill adds extra hours to his grandkid-watching duties; before film-fanatic sports sub-editor John Gillies tries to fit three movies into one day; before chief photographer Paul Rickard devotes more time to combing his partner’s pedigree moggies — let’s take a look back at the Gisborne sporting year that was. What was originally intended to be a top 20 morphed into a tentacle-growing monster as achievement upon achievement was added to the list. We’ve cut it at 40 so apologies to those who were inadvertently overlooked. Problem is there is just so much great stuff that has gone on. Expect it to continue in 2016. Ricardo Christie — Championship Tour rookie Ricardo Christie failed to retain his place on world surfing’s ultimate stage but the cruisy, down-to-earth 27-year-old left his mark as an ambassador for the sport and his country. The Gisborne-based Mahia son was popular among fellow competitors, fans on the beach and in cyberspace, and World Surf League commentators alike. But as the saying goes, it’s one thing getting to the top, it’s another staying there. Competitive surfing is a cut-throat sport that can come down to tenths or hundredths of a point. Several times Christie brought the best out of his rivals, particularly in one-on-one combat. He did, however, notch a few mas... (Gisborne Herald)
