Game against Steinert High School. PHS-73; SHS-47

BY JAMIE PERETZMAN-Princeton High School extended its winning streak to 6 games by pounding Steinert High School. 

The first quarter started out slow for the Little Tigers, as it commonly has this year. They allowed Steinert to be within five at the end of one, 20-15. However, during the second quarter PHS went on a 16-9 run to go into halftime leading 36-24.

From the third quarter to the end of the game, PHS controlled the tempo. They never relinquished the lead they had had from the opening tip-off. In the fourth quarter PHS went on a 12-0 run to virtually end all hopes of a Steinert comeback. 

DeQuan Holman led the scoring with 23 points and added 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Skye Ettin had 17 points and 5 rebounds and Brian Dunlap had 16 points including 6 for 6 from the foul line. He also had 9 assists. 

From the start, the usually solid Steinert team looked overmatched by PHS's ball pressure and suffocating defense. This defense ranks second in the CVC behind only W-W South. The Little Tigers lead the league in offense. 

EXTRA NOTES: Davon Black, a freshman for PHS came off the bench in the last minute of Tuesday's victory and scored the first varsity points of his high school career. Sophomore Eamon Cuddy saw his first action of the season, but he did not score.
