- Fifteen first half points by Blanche Ely point guard Kreishaun Meyers was the difference as Blanche Ely won its 19th game of the year beating Deerfield Beach. Myers aided by fellow senior Clide Geffard worked an inside out game that the Bucks couldn’t stop.

Riding a wave of momentum and aided by sloppy Tiger passing, the Bucks tied the game halfway through the second quarter. But the Tigers soon after solved the puzzle of Deerfield Beach’s full court press and pulled away.
