Just what the Doctor Ordered

Derek Ogbeide had five dunks and 17 rebounds in the Class AAAAAA semi-final game against Shiloh.  Pebblebrook won the contest by 10.  Final score: 57 to 47.

Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown and Wheeler High defeated Tucker.  Brown finished with 29 points.  Great player, great attitude.

Wheeler and Pebblebrook will meet in the 6A championship game on Saturday.

Hated to see Athens Christian come up just short, 57 to 56, against Greenforest in the Class A private school semi-finals.  Turtle Jackson ended his high school career with 15 points in the contest.


Ogbeide is just what the doctor ordered for a UGA team graduating senior post players, Nemi Djurisic and Marcus Thornton.  Don't know how Derek will do against SEC talent, but he'll surely get the chance to play right away.

Provided that Turtle Jackson's knees hold up, he'll give UGA valuable minutes at the point. Seems like such a long-shot, but if Coach Rosemond can seal the deal with Jaylen Brown, discharge the patient, UGA basketball is healthy and ready to make some noise.
