Sharks Advance over Terry Parker Never has the Shark Tank seen defense as intense as Ponte Vedra displayed in the first half of their 60-39 win over Terry Parker. The Sharks put on a clinic on how to play defense as they completely smothered the Braves offense in the first half by coming up with 15 steal en route to a school record 22 swipes on the evening. The visiting Parker squad was held to but 1 single point in the first quarter and but 13 total tallies by halftime as the Sharks roared to a 28-13 lead. There was no let up for the Sharks in the third quarter as they built up a whopping 27 point lead as the 3rd quarter was drawing to an end. Only a desperation 65 foot heave at the buzzer that swished through the net gave the visitors a little spark heading into the final quarter. Parker used that momentum to go on a 14-2 run to narrow the gap to a 14 point lead. JT Kelly stopped the Braves run with a nifty floating layup that began a 11-4 run of their own to nail down the victory. The Sharks may have played their best overall game of the season as they received balanced scoring from all five of their starters, as well as playing tenacious defense for all 32 minutes. Luke Perris once again was the leading scorer for the Sharks with 16 tallies but his other starting teammates, all regulars on the Ponte Vedra football team in the Fall, all had major contributions. Jack Polian ignited the Sharks in the opening quarter with 5 steals chipped in 11 points, while Nathan Bunkosky and Rory Mayer netted 10. Just missing making it unanimous for the starters to hit double figures, but playing a exceptional game, was Alex Madson. The senior guard made 4 of the 6 total shots he took on the evening count for 8 points, but he had no turnovers against the very quick Braves team. For the entire 32 minutes of action the Sharks had but 11 turnovers against the ball hawking visitors. The win insures that the Sharks will continue on in the playoffs and will host Lee High on Tuesday February 23 in hopes of advancing to the Regional finals and improve on their already lofty 22-4 record.
