JV Boys visit Avalon…different dome same result
Dome Before The Storm — It might can stop a tornado, but the dome of the Avalon Eagles was unable to protect itself from a relentless bombardment of jump shots from the Italy JV Gladiators. At one point, Italy outscored Avalon 28-0 in the 2nd period. (Barry Byers)
In the 1st period, the game had all the makings of an old fashioned Italy vs Avalon basketball royal rumble. Going into the 2nd period, the score was tied 12-12.
And then, the game headed south for the Eagles. The Italy JV ran off 28-straight unanswered points in the 2nd. The shutout gave Italy a 40-12 halftime lead.
