Will Felton leads the way in the paint
It was another solid game from Millbrook big man William Felton as he put up 19 points and 12 rebounds en route to an 84-54 victory for their 20th win of the season. They’ve got two more games left in Cap 7 action with Sanderson on Wednesday and Broughton to close out the conference schedule. Felton will look to add more double-doubles to his total of 19.
Sam Hood opens up with a big 1st half
Unsigned senior wing Sam Hood had a hot shooting start to spark an early run from the Wildcats. Hood opened the first half with 14 points, including two 3-pointers and an alley-oop dunk to spark an early first-half run that saw them up 51-23 at halftime. In the second half, the reserves got their shot to prove themselves and that they did.
The Millbrook bench put up 37 points
The Millbrook Wildcats got a chance to show off what they could do on Tuesday night and they did a lot of that, putting up 37 points as a unit. 2022 guard Silas Demary Jr. led the way off the bench with 11 points while 2021 guard Chris Daniels finished with nine points. Some reserves got a chance to show off what they could do and they did with the playoff season approaching.
Mekhi Townes was slowed down enough by Millbrook
Mekhi Townes wasn’t enough in the Holly Springs frontcourt to pull off an upset. He still put up 17 points but he wasn’t able to become a factor in the early going when Millbrook built a huge lead. He’s still a prospect to keep an eye on given his size and mobility.
Houston Wills is a shooter with potential
Freshman guard Houston Wills was one of the bright spots for a team missing two seniors in Kaleb Scott and Marcus Elliott. He finished with 13 points along with three made 3-pointers, showing off his ability to get open on the perimeter and get to the rim. He’s a young prospect to keep an eye on for the Golden Hawks.
