Durham, NC -- On a day when the sports world stood still for Mayweather/Pacquiao; the Bull City Legacy played host to the High Point Heat in a first round TRBL matchup. This game was highly contested throughout, as both teams left it all on the court at Walltown Recreational Center. A one point High Point halftime lead, (63-62) didn't hold up as Bull City came away with a 133-128 victory.
Kennard Moore (Marshalltown CC) and Ramel Phillips (Old Westbury) were sensational for the visiting Heat. Moore had a game-high 40 points; while Phillips chipped in with 32. Bull City countered with two thirty point scorers of their own. Big man Brian Streeter (Citadel) pounded High Point down low to the tune of 31 points and 7 rebounds. Point guard J'Mell Walters nearly recorded a triple double. The former NCCU Eagle scored a team-high 31 points, adding 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
