FIRST ROUND TIGERS VERSE TIGERS AT MOON HIGH SCHOOL MCKEESPORT WINS 56-50

The Mckeesport Tigers went into Moon with a player that was looking to get his 1000 career point put on the scoreboard and that they were able to do it by playing very tough defense causing Moon to turn it over way to many times as the young Moon team who only started one senior got out in front of themselves against a more experienced starting senior squad for Mckeesport. It was a very good exciting game with moon getting out to a ten to five lead early, after a great live national anthem. The Mckeesport Tigers didn’t waste no time going to the hoop and pressing the ball up the court at a rapid pace which drew the Moon Tigers in to it which they were able to keep up but were turning the ball over a little to much ,which part of that was from a very good quick Mckeesport Tigers team. And  the half the score was Mckeesport 22 Moon 16 still anybody’s game. The third quarter the Mckeesport team started to pull away making the Moon team in front of their great crowd that assembled to cheer on their Tigers to make to turn the ball over to much. And to make it a little harder to keep up  Mckeesport Tigers got a  lift when their star player  Travarese Rowe got his 1000th career point in front of a big traveling crowd who made the trip to support their team. Not all was lost for  the Moon team who have almost their entire team coming back next year with some playoff experience and the future looks bright final score Mckeesport 56 Moon 50, the game was broadcast on here on Beaver County Radio by Mike Azadian and Frank Salopek  along with 95.7FM and 99.3FM and 1230 WBVP /1460 WMBA, tomorrow nights playoff game will be Rochester and Summit Academy at 6:30 pm.
