Durham, N.C. -- One of the mosthighly anticipated matchup's of the year took place Saturday in the Tobacco Road Basketball League. The (6-3) Bull City Legacy played host to arch rival Cary Invasion (10-1) at Walltown Recreational Center; In beautiful Durham, N.C.
Like a pay-per-view prizefight, Bull City and Cary traded haymakers, in a 26-26 first quarter tie. Cary began it's separation in the second quarter behind the hot shooting of guard Corey Evans (NCCU ). Cary exploded to score 86 second half points, and the former Northern Durham High School star was the catalyst. Evans was money playing in his home town, scoring a game-high 42 points, and dishing out 6 assists. Paul Wright (Mountain State) chipped in with 25 points and 6 rebounds for the Invasion.
After the first quarter, Bull City seemed to sleepwalk through the remainder of the game. One bright spot for the Legacy was the play of big man Brian Streeter (Citadel). Streeter scored a season-high 19pts in the loss; while forward Ian Gregory (Saint Thomas, FL) scored 17 points. Both Desmond Bunn (Shaw) and Tim Plummer (Fayetteville State) scored 16 points for the Legacy; who after the loss, drop to (6-4) on the season. Cary improves to (11-1) after Saturday's victory.
