Lancer Senior Night for Drifter hometown legend Leonard Banks
“We saw things out of this team that we’ve been looking for . . . Great defense . . . Patience on offense . . . And above all, great sportsmanship.
Sports editor Longwood Lancer captain Tristan “T.T.” Carey’s senior campaign will long be remembered for his athleticism on the basketball court and his academic achievements in the classroom. However, apart from his collegiate and high school success, Carey’s family will always be close to his heart. On Saturday, during Senior Night, Carey’s family, along with a host of fans that packed Willets Hall on the campus of Longwood University, came to support their legendary Lancer. The celebration also honored four of Carey’s teammates, which include: Jeylam Dubln, Jeff Havenstein, Mark Parker and David Robinson. Although the Lancers lost to VMI, 86-66, Carey had another one of his patented double-double performances, which featured 16 points from the field, 6-6 at the foul line and 12 rebounds. Carey now has 1,486 career points (sixth all-time), and second all-time in 3-pointers (228 points).
—Malcolm Lewis first half and got 12 points from Meche Maulbeck to take the lead and hold it. “We wanted to come out with a high level of intensity,” Altavista Coach Mike Cartolaro said. The ease with which the Colonels did that appeared to unsettle the Eagles, who could never get a run going. But despite the loss, W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis expressed his pride at the Eagles’ winning season. “Coach Hunter did a great job with these guys this year,” Lewis said. “We saw things out of this team that we’ve been looking for . . . Great defense . . . Patience on offense . . . And above all, great sportsmanship,”
Lewis said. “Jeremy Turner showed signs of being a leader on the court, and Tre Brown and Davon Hamilton led by example. It was a good mix . . . And that’s why we made a run.” Hamilton led W&L scorers Friday night with 19 points. Darius Johnson led Altavista with 20 points. In the quarterfinal game earlier, the Eagles defeated McCluer by nine points, as Brown led the way with 22 points. “That was our best game of the year,” Coach Hunter said. “Our defense was the key, and we were very disciplined for most of the night. It was a great win. I’m so proud of these guys.”
