BRYAN, Texas -- The defensive scheme that Gulf Coast Blue Chips-Angelo coach Angelo Randerson implemented during the second half of the NCAA Division championship game of the Bryan/College Station Great American Shoot-Out was beyond words.It was so good Sunday afternoon that some were asking to bottle and sell his secret.
GCBC-Angelo put on a spectacular second-half defensive performance to overcome a double-digit deficit in the first half and stun host team Bryan High School, 68-64, at the Bryan auxiliary gym. GCBC-Angelo trailed by 13 at halftime but made some defensive adjustments against one of the state's top players in four-star guard J-Mychal Reese of Bryan.
The secret to success? GCBC-Angelo ran a box-and-one defense to help keep Reese at bay. Reese had 20 points in the first half and led Bryan to a 44-31 halftime advantage, but the defensive adjustment allowed Reese only eight points in the second half.
"We told the guys the only way to win is to play with heart," Randerson said. "We lacked heart the first half. The only person really beating us was J-Mike. We told them if we take him away, we can win the game."
Bryan's offense struggled in the second half, as it scored only eight buckets. GCBC-Angelo outscored Bryan, 37-20, in the half, as Andrew Kelley and Ryan Kemrite combined for 22 of the 37 points in the final 16 minutes. Kelley scored 22 points, while Kemrite added 13 on the day.
GCBC-Angelo didn't take the lead until the final minutes of the game. Free throws by Kemrite and Joele Norman gave the team the lead, and Jimmie Gilbert sealed the win with one free throw with three seconds remaining.
"We showed resiliency," Randerson said. "The first round of bracket play, we were down 13 with 11 minutes to go, and we fought back. We believe it's not over until it's over."
Next to Reese's game-high 28 points, Chris Johnson was the only other Bryan player to finish with double figures in scoring, as he had 10 points. For GCBC-Angelo, Timi Adeloye had 10 points.
