Darren Lucas-White Posts 25 in Augusta's Peach Belt Conference Schedule Opening Win Over Georgia College

Left to Right: Tyree Myers, Miguel Arnold and Darren Lucas-White

Darren Lucas-White scored 25 points to lead Augusta to a 69-63 Peach Belt Conference schedule opening win at home over Georgia College Saturday. Lucas-White led a short-handed Jaguar bunch that suited up only eight players as Augusta made its way without the services of starters Miguel Arnold (20 ppg) and Troy Cracknell, among others. The Jaguars, ranked #11 in the most recent National Association of Basketball Coaches poll, improved to 3-0 overall in their first game since defeating Emmanuel College on December 12.


Lucas-White, a junior who is averaging 22 points through three games, also tallied 4 steals, 4 assists and 4 rebounds in addition to making probably the most important shot of the game, a three pointer with 1:27 remaining that gave Augusta breathing room in the form of a 65-60 lead.

“You have to be confident with it," Lucas-White said about the shot in the post game interview above. "As soon as I let it go I knew it was in."

The play of fellow junior Tyree Myers was also indispensable as the point guard scored 15 points, dished out 8 assists and nabbed 3 steals in 39 minutes of action. Lucas-White played all 40 minutes in the contest. While many of Tyree’s contributions were recorded in the stat sheet, like the assist he made to Darren to put Augusta ahead by 5 late in the second half, several of the game’s biggest plays were of the kind that aren't recorded. After the game, Augusta head coach Dip Metress talked extensively about the difficulty of playing without key players, and specifically about the leadership shown by his starting guards.

“The two guys (Lucas-White and Myers) over there that you interviewed," Metress started. "We just hopped on their back and said we'll ride it."

Tyree Myers - Augusta

About the play Myers made with 2:30 remaining in the game when he dove on the floor to retrieve a loose ball to allow Augusta to retain possession, Metress shared a saying of his. And he described the value of such an action by Myers, as well as other such plays by Lucas-White, Lee Flenor and others.

"First to the floor gets the ball man. They're always the first to the floor." Metress explained. "There were a couple other ones. We ran loose balls down and saved them back in. Lee saved one and threw it back, and Darren was there to pick it up. Games like this... these are possession games.."

7-1 Center Tyshaun Crawford defends Georgia College's Austin Sloan.

While foul trouble allowed for only 18 minutes of playing time for 7-1 center Tyshaun Crawford, who entered Saturday’s game averaging 20 points and 9 rebounds, Augusta received valuable contributions, especially during the second half, from sophomore forward Lee Flenor, who scored 9 of his 11 points after halftime and hauled in 7 rebounds during the game, and freshman John Whitehead, who scored 7 of his 9 in the second half, and also snagged 6 boards in the first college start for the former Glenn Hills High School star.

Whitehead and Flenor scored all 10 points for Augusta during a second half stretch in which the Jaguars outscored the Bobcats 10-4 right after Georgia College took a 52-49 lead, its largest of the game, on a Christian Koneman jumper with 9:59 remaining. The spurt by the pair of forwards began when Whitehead scored on a feed from Crawford, but failed to convert the three point play at the free throw line, cutting the deficit to 52-51 with 9:47 left. Then Wesley Simpson, who along with Kohl Roberts led Georgia College with 14 points, scored on the opposite end to put the Bobcats ahead by three. Whitehead answered by draining a three pointer from the top of the key to tie the game at 54 with 8:11 remaining.

“It looked good," Metress said of Whitehead's game tying three. "It's a footwork thing with John. He spends a lot of time at it."

Darren Lucas-White (left) and John Whitehead III

Flenor followed Whitehead’s pair of buckets with two of his own, the first a nifty catch and finish on a high-low feed from Crawford, and the second a three point play on a physical post move that gave Augusta a 59-56 lead with 5:59 left and brought Augusta’s bench to their feet as they screamed with approval.

The final minutes were “ugly,” to use Metress's words. But in addition to Lucas-White’s game sealing three pointer, another thing that was as pretty as can be for Augusta’s fans was the 18 footer Myers drained to give the Jaguars a 61-60 lead with 3:47 remaining, which answered two consecutive Georgia College field goals by Austin Sloan and Simpson that put the Bobcats back on top by a point after Flenor and Whitehead’s run.

Metress emphasized the fact that the shot by Myers came on a play that Augusta would usually run for one of its "shooters" who were unavailable Saturday, stressing the versatility and value of a leader like Tyree.

"The things we run for our two-guards, who are usually shooters... that's not their game," Metress said about Myers and Lucas-White. "Tyree made that one off the screen that he usually doesn't even shoot. His footwork was great."

After Myers put the Jaguars ahead, Lucas-White’s bomb from the right corner was the only other field goal Augusta scored in the remaining 4 minutes. I asked Darren in our post game interview what he screamed when he ran back down court after he made the game sealing three pointer.

“The only thing I said was..." Darren laughed. "'I need that'. That's all I said."

Augusta "needed" everything Darren and his seven other available teammates had to give Saturday. And they certainly delivered.

Greenbrier Tops Clarke Central 58-49; Fifth Straight Win Sets Up Friday's First Place Duel with Walnut Grove

Davin Driskell and Sean Edewor - Greenbrier

Davin Driskell scored 15 points and Cyrus Wilder added 12 to lead Greenbrier to a 58-49 win at home over Clarke Central Wednesday. The win was Greenbrier's fifth straight, putting the Wolfpack (6-5) above .500 for the first time this season. More importantly, second year coach Dee Howard's squad improved to 3-1 in class 5A, region 8 action ahead of a busy weekend that will begin Friday with a game on the road against league leader Walnut Grove (5-0).

Head Coach Dee Howard and Greenbrier now look ahead to Walnut Grove

Wilder played a central role in expanding Greenbrier's 29-17 halftime leading when the senior guard scored or assisted on the first 11 points of the third quarter. Wilder scored 7 of his 12 points during this stretch, and when his touch pass found Khaleel Pratt (9 points) for a striding layup with 4:33 left in the quarter, the Wolfpack took a 40-24 lead that would not be seriously threatened again.

The run was the second major spurt of the game for the home team. Late in the first quarter, Sean Edewor sparked an 11-0 Wolfpack sprint that began when Edewor beautifully led Justice Lawson with a full court chest pass that Lawson reeled in and finished to cut Clarke Central's early lead to 10-8. Immediately afterwards, Edewor retrieved the ball on the defensive end and trotted down court while the clocked ticked near zero. Howard implored Edewor to hurry before the quarter ended, and his senior sharp shooter obliged by sinking a 28 footer to give Greenbrier its first lead, which expanded to 17-10 soon after the second quarter began. The Wolfpack wouldn't trail again.

Grovetown 92, Augusta Christian 57: Game story, Box Score, Full game Highlights and more included here


Zach Bell skies high for Grovetown Monday.


Grovetown left Augusta Christian Monday with a 92-57 win after starting the game with a 39-16 run, and ending it with a 40-8 spurt, the latter propelled by senior guard Julius Brown’s 18 fourth quarter points, part of his game high 31.

Led by freshman Elijah Crawford’s team high 25 points, Augusta Christian made a run of its own, cutting Grovetown’s once 23 point lead to 52-49 with less than 1 minute remaining in the third quarter after Jeremiah Tolbert knocked down a baseline jumper. But Brown scored 21 points in the remaining 8 minutes and change, and the Warriors suffocated the home team’s offense, holding the Lions to only 5 points in the final quarter.

Brown began the final quarter with a three pointer only 8 seconds into the fourth that put Grovetown ahead 61-52. The lead stretched to 20 with 5:11 left on another three pointer by Brown, a shot that was set up by a beautiful dribble move, shown in the first clip below, when Brown went hard left, stopped on a dime, and whipped the ball behind his back, freezing the defender and rising up for the trifecta in one seamless motion.



Senior Zach Bell, who scored 21 points two days after dropping 30 to lead the Warriors to a 71-67 win over Walnut Grove at Archer High, left his unique stamp all over Monday’s game. A two-handed finish of a first quarter alley-oop (shown in freeze frame at the top of the screen) set the tone for an evening of wonder from the area’s most exciting player.

“This (Bell’s finish) was insane in person! Lob was super high!!” That’s what Grovetown head coach Darren Douglas tweeted after the game after seeing on Twitter (directly below) what he witnessed in person from the sidelines.



Later in the first period Bell topped his earlier dunk with a fully extended, one-handed windmill before pointing at the camera to make sure it was captured on film.


Bell’s third attempt to do something we won't see anywhere else within driving distance of here came in the fourth quarter when, after picking the freshman Crawford clean near the three point line, Bell attempted his second windmill of the night… only this time he threw it between his legs as he rose into the air! Bell’s attempt came up short, as if he were only trying to prove he is human after all. After AC retrieved Bell’s miss, Crawford knocked down a jumper on the other end to momentarily halt Grovetown’s momentum.



Coach Douglas was impressed by Crawford after seeing him play in person for the first time:

“I really think Crawford is a player,” Grovetown’s second year head coach said in a text after the game. “Some freshman habits, but there’s a lot of good in his game.”

Douglas was even more pleased with the teamwork displayed by his Warriors:

“I was really pleased with our ball movement tonight,” Douglas said of a trend that picked up steam in Saturday’s win over Walnut Grove. “We passed it really well. We’re very hard to defend if we move it and make shots.”

Grovetown improved to 4-1 for the season while Augusta Christian fell to 2-7. Both teams are back in action Saturday. Grovetown will head for Marietta to face Collins Hill in the first round of the Lemon Street Classic. Augusta Christian travels to Greenbrier.
