Adam Mills converted a school record 10 three point
shots, unofficially only missing two attempts, as the
Trojans broke open a close game in the late second and third quarters, registering
an area win over the
visiting Tallassee Tigers. Tallassee had an early 17-10 lead after
a Roderick Parker three pointer, but Mills
hit three threes in the last few minutes of the first quarter, the final
one giving the Trojans a 21-19 lead.
He added a three early in the second quarter, two in the third, and four
in a three minute period of the final
stanza to set the gymnasium and school records. Tallassee remained
close in the second quarter, trailing
only by 4, at 32-28, before two Chris Roberts and two Jordan Kirkland field
goals closed out the half for
St. James with an 8-0 run, and they never looked back. The game was
delayed nearly 15 minutes midway
through the fourth quarter when a player diving for a loose ball turned over
a huge cooler full of iced liquid
which poured onto a corner of the gym floor. It was just after this
delay when Mills hit three of his three
pointers in four Trojan possessions.

The Lady Trojans scored the first 23 points of the game, and scored the
last 23 points of the third quarter as well,
as they defeated the outmatched Lady Tigers. Canita Henderson's free
throw with 4:57 remaining in the half was
the first score for Tallassee. For the second consecutive game, all
10 Trojans scored, 9 of them in the first half as
the second team was on the floor for a lengthy duration. Four different
Trojans had 6 points in the first half, and
Hillary Barnes and Lisa Bright were the feature scorers in the second half.
Tallassee did knock down five threes of
their own, two by Latoya Henderson, but St. James just had too many weapons
this night for Tallassee to recover
from their deep early deficit.
