The Mount Pleasant Green Knights proved to be too much for the Conrad Red Wolves.  The Red Wolves hosted a first round game after being named the 16 seed of the DIAA boys basketball state championship after a 15-5 season. However the Flight A Green Knights proved to be too much as the 17 seed. 

 

After trailing by one point at half Mount Pleasant began to pull away in the third quarter. The defense and length of the Green knights began to take over the game. Big men Senior Segio Salis and  Darnell Lloyd established their presence in this game. 

 

The duo of Lloyd and Salis combined for 19 points and 13 rebounds in the game. A bulk of those stats came in the third quarter as the Green Knights were able to outscore the Red Wolves 21-11. 

 

The third quarter deficit was too much for the Red Wolves to overcome as the Green knights made big play after big play to help close out the game and come away with a 69-58 victory to advance to the next round.

 

 The Green knights were led by Niame Scott who scored 23 points hitting 4 three pointers and went 5 for 7 from the line. Anthony Sidberry and Darnell Llyod each added 13 points  apiece.  Conrad was led by Jaylin Horsey who scored 26 points connecting on 6 3 pointers. 

 

The Green Knights wi advance to play the #1 seed Middletown Cavaliers this Thursday night at 7PM.
