Commerce pulls away in fourth to take down TFS
The Indians lost a 53-48 region contest on Tuesday at home as part of Senior Night.
Stevan Gabric put the pressure on the visitors right away with five straight points to open the game, including a shot from downtown. Commerce led 17-14 at the end of the first, but a Brian Neely bucket in the second had Tallulah Falls out in front momentarily. It was short-lived though, as the Tigers used a late run and had a wild 3-pointer at the buzzer to take a 32-25 lead into the break.
The Tigers went ahead by double-digits until Hayden Bootle brought the Indians back, as he brought down a monster dunk, then notched a pair of fourth quarter baskets in a row to make it a 42-41 game. Commerce then went on a 9-1 run to pull away to the finish line.
TFS was led in scoring by Neyo Bain with 17 points, with Bootle ending with 15. Zakhar Valasiuk had six, while both Gabric and Neely finished with five.
The Indians recognized seniors Sam Ketch, Zakhar Valasiuk, and managers Angelina Kim and Aidan Woodside. TFS is now 5-18 on the season and drop to 1-5 within region play. The Indians return to action February 6 at Athens Christian.
