Recap from Brookwood at Necedah Boys Basketball Game
6 days
Brookwood jumped out to an early lead with their half court pressure and a couple of
Necedah turnovers for easy baskets. Necedah came storming back to pull within 2 at the
break behind the hot hand of sophomore forward Luke Murphy who scored 13 in the frame.
The 2nd half was a back-and-forth dogfight with both teams making plays. Senior guard
Jackson Cunitz kept the Falcons going scoring 14 of his team high 20 in the half, but it was
Necedah’s clutch free throws that iced the game late. Murphy scored a game high 30 in the
contest and sophomore forward Ricky Smith added in 10 for the Cards who won their 2nd
conference game of the seas
