Summit vs Madison

December 29, 1998

The tone of this one was set early, as John Foushee poured in 8 points in the first 3 minutes and Summit raced to a 23-4 1^st quarter lead. Foushee and John Brown really applied the defensive pressure that forced many turnovers in the 1^st quarter. The pace slowed in the 2^nd quarter as someone seemed to have slipped a lid over Summit's hoop. Shot after shot went in and then came out again. However, Madison was only able to close the gap by a point. Summit turned up the heat again at the beginning of the 2^nd half to build a 31 point lead. Early in the 3^rd quarter Coach Prendergast began emptying the bench. Much of that quarter's scoring and all of the 4^th quarter scoring came from the bench. Keyon Smith was very effective on defense and contributed 6 points and Duane Dates had a career high 10 points in the 2^nd half. John Foushee had an awesome night, scoring 20 points. John Brown and Brian Rush were also in double figures with 11 and 10 points respectively. Another bright spot was that Summit had its best night at the foul line, making 8 of 9 free throws.
