HC Sharks bring home basketball championship

From Staff Reports

For the seventh time, Houston County’s Sharks adaptive

sports program brought home a state championship. This time, the prize carried

the stamp of the Georgia High School Association.

On Friday, at the same time and same location as the GHSA

state basketball finals, the Sharks played the West Georgia Wolverines for the

2013 GHSA/AAASP basketball title. With a 24-21 victory, Houston County claimed

its first championship in varsity hoops.

At the Macon

Centreplex, the Wolverines took an early lead during the six eight-minute

period format, but the Sharks fought back to take the lead during the fifth

period of play.

 

Braxton Robinson led the Shark offense with 12 points. Jeff

Sweeney (six points), Ja-Que Billingsley (four points) and Jordan Kozloski (two

points) added to the Sharks scoring attack.

“Our senior captains

Ben Masters and David Presley provided leadership on and off the court,” said

head coach Christy Jones. “David had four assists in the game. The Sharks

defense worked hard shutting down the Wolverines lead scorer Doug Johnson.

Faith Beiker, William Moore, Gracie Webb, and Kierra Miles led the Sharks

offense.”
