1st quarter: Withrow 8, Wayne 6
Both teams looked nervous early and that led to some sloppy play from both teams.
Withrow drew first blood when monstrous Yancey Gates got fouled by Lamar Mallory on a dunk attempt at 7:24.
Yates made the first free throw and missed the second, but the Tigers got the rebound, kept the ball alive and Gates scored on a follow-up for a 3-0 lead.
Gates’ flying dunk at 3:33 started a 5-0 spurt for an 8-3 Tigers’ advantage.
But Wayne pulled within 8-6 on Charles Winkfield’s 3-point bomb in the right corner. The Warriors first points of the game came on an old-fashioned three-point play.
Treon Leslie scored on a baseline drive, got fouled and made the free throw at the 6:15 mark.
Let’s get onto the second quarter from the Cintas Center
