Legenday Coach Morgan Wootten led his DeMatha Stags into a packed house at O'Connell high school to battle his son Joe's Knights in a pivotal WCAC match-up. DeMatha took control early jumping out to a 6-0 lead only to see the Knights rally to take a 14-13 lead after the first quarter much to the delight of the home crowd.

Unfortunately for the home team that would be the last time they tasted the lead. In the 2nd Quarter DeMatha's Jordan Collins and Travis Garrison took over the paint and pushed DeMatha out to a 33-26 half-time lead. The duo was a force all night on the glass and in the scorebook. Collins scored 19 points and grabbed 13 boards while Garrison scored 16 and yanked down 13 rebounds of his own.

The third quarter was hard fought as they traded baskets. Every time O'Connell seemed to make a charge the Stags would answer. After three the lead remained 7 with DeMatha leading 44-37.

In the fourth quarter O'Connell's Freshman big man Brian Johnson had a tough task but was fighting hard against DeMatha's size. Johnson made some big plays on defense that gave O'Connell a shot. The Knights just couldn't seem to get any of there 3 point attempts to fall in the final session and the Stags began to pull away. DeMatha coasted to the 69-56 win and pushed Morgan's record to 3-0 against his son Joe.

Ricky Lucas and Ahmad Smith led the Knights with 18 points a piece. In addition to Collins and Garrison's big nights Chris Stephenson had 12 points and Warren Williams scored 10 for the Stags.
