San Quentin Kings Last Season Battle

December 1, 2011 by GARY SCOTT

BY GARY SCOTT
The San Quentin Kings basketball team’s season finale was a heartbreaker as they fell 90-76 to the outside Sports Ministry Basketball team.
Down 59-52 in the fourth quarter, the Kings tried desperately to make a push for the lead. Billy Wilson drove hard to the basket for a lay up and after an opponent’s scored, he came back and drained a three-pointer, cutting the lead to a 61-57 deficit.
Adam Tarhouri of the Sports Ministry kept the pressure on the Kings consistently as he drove the ball baseline and scored on a six-foot floater, increasing the lead to 63-57.
Mario Ellis then took over the game periodically as he scored on an assist from Joe “The General” Demerson on a driving lay up and then on a floater, tying the game 63-63.
The game turned on the Warriors as they began to turn the ball over and give up fast break points, finding themselves down 88-70 late in the fourth quarter.
The Sports Ministry ended the Kings season in a bitter defeat.
Tarhouri, who played high school basketball at Engram High School in Seattle, said, “Our defensive play helped us keep the lead. I loved my first experience playing basketball here and I will definitely be back.”
