RUNNIN' TIGER RERUN
If one thing's for certain, when Antwain Thomas is hot, opposing team's are in trouble.
Thomas connected on 7-of-12 shots from beyond the arc and finished with 38 points, six rebounds and five assists as Terrell (3-1) defeated Class 5A John Tyler (0-4) for the second time this season, 59-48, at the TISD Athletic Complex.
th a 69-60 win at Tyler on Nov. 13.
Thomas scored the first 10 points of the game and all 13 Terrell points in the first period, upping his season average from 16.3 to 21.8 points per game. He scored 18 in the first meeting with John Tyler.
Terrell raced out to an early double-digit lead in the opening period before the Lions could even get on the scoreboard.
Sirron Fleming dished to Thomas for an open trey, who followed that with a breakaway dunk after stepping in front of a pass on the other end and racing downcourt.
That play prompted a timeout by the visitors just three minutes into the game. Midway through the first period, Jaderrick McCullar made his first appearance for the Runnin' Tigers.
McCullar had missed the first three games while nursing injuries suffered during football season.
Thomas made it 8-0 with a trifecta of foul shots and then scored off another steal for an easy layup and a 10-0 lead at the 2:40 mark.
There was 2:25 left in the period before John Tyler got on the scoreboard with a free throw and 15 seconds after that before registering its first field goal, prompting a 7-0 run that cut the lead to three points.
The run occurred with Thomas on the bench. Once he returned, he nailed three more foul shots to give Terrell a 13-7 lead after one frame.
While Thomas couldn't miss in the first period, his misses in the second were what created scoring opportunities in the second. Terrell scored four field goals off missed shots by Thomas, keeping the Lions from the lead.
Brian Maxie put back the first and Bedarrious Collier grabbed a Thomas miss for another easy deuce.
But once the Lions closed it to 17-16, Thomas stepped up again, grabbing his own miss for a layup, dishing to Cadarius Herndon for another bucket and scoring off his own miss once again for a 25-16 lead. The score was 25-18 at the break.
An 11-2 run by the Lions gave them their first lead at the 4:24 mark with the score 29-27. Thomas responded with a free throw and then a trey at the 3:36 mark to regain the lead at 31-29. The Lions took the lead once more at 35-33 but wouldn't keep it long as Thomas dished to Herndon on a fast break to tie before connecting on a pair of long shots, set up by Carl Brumley, to take a 41-35 lead after three.
Terrell was never really challenged in the final period and the lead never dipped below seven points.
Thomas scored 11 points in the period, including two triples to go with one 2-point basket and three foul shots. He passed an open shot, choosing instead to return the favor to Brumley for the final points of the game.
Brumley finished with six points and four assists, while Collier grabbed a team-high eight rebounds to go with four points. Herndon did a little of everything, finishing with four points, five assists and five steals.
Terrell will return to action Tuesday when the Runnin' Tigers host Wylie (2-2) at the TISD Athletic Complex. The Pirates have dropped two straight after starting the year 2-0.
The varsity contest is scheduled to begin at around 7:30 p.m.
