The Fightin' Reformers put on a show for the crowd and posted their best win in franchise history with a 60-26 win over REZ. TCC was paced by the ultra-hot shooting Randy Pifer in the first half as they cruised to a 35-10 lead. Pifer hit his first three three point attempts and finished the night shooting 4-6 from the field. His shooting percentage now stands at 75% for the season. Ryan LaPierre lead the team in scoring with a bounce back performance. He had been struggling with his shot through the first month, but finished the game hitting 5 of his 8 attempts and finished with 12 points. The whole team chipped in and for the first time all season, everyone on the team scored. Daniel Brown played the finest game of his career with a virtuoso performance. He finished with nine points, three assists, three rebounds and two steals.
Patrick Gomer didn't look to score in this game, but led the team in rebounding by pulling down seven boards. He also added four assists. "We played about as well as we have ever played tonight" Jonathan Chasteen said. "But we still made some mistakes out there, and we can play better" he added. Rome Lawson played his usual steady inside game with eight points and four rebounds. Hugh Carson was aggressive and attacking the basket all night, but struggled with his shot. "Hugh did not get kind treatment from the referees tonight, and I think that got into his head a little bit" said Jordan Cobb. Cobb played a dazzling game with three highlight worthy finishes. He added a team high three steals as well.
TCC has had a good, not great, start to the season. "Blowing the lead we had against Taylors in the first game has stuck with us" said Pifer. "We are using that as motivation to get better each and every week" said LaPierre. "I think tonight showed what we can do as a team if we continue to pass the ball and get good looks at the rim" said Ben Davis. "Davis has been a revelation at the point guard spot. His passing and vision are what had been lacking from this team the last few years. As this team continues to play together and get to know each other, I expect them to continue to improve and become the best team in the Wade Hampton Church Basketball League" said color commentator Spencer Champlin. Play by play announcer, Paula Karmin, added "I think he should wear the orange shorts every week".
TCC returns to the court next Monday night at 7:30 against Earle Street Baptist at Lee Road Baptist gym.
