Pocomoke had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They were just a bucket shy of victory on Saturday and fell 74-73 to the Colonel Richardson Colonels. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Warriors of the 83-65 defeat they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in December of 2023.
Pocomoke lost despite a true team effort on the offense, the best among them being ZYMIERE WALKER, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and 12 rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of MICHAEL AMES, who went 8 for 18 en route to 24 points.
Even though they lost, Pocomoke smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 21 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 14 offensive rebounds in five consecutive games dating back to last season.
Pocomoke will look to defend their home court on Monday against Salisbury Christian at 5:00 p.m. As for Colonel Richardson, they will hit the road for the first time this season to take on Queen Anne's County at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
