Bertie can attribute much of their success to Nyqway Bazemore, who went 5-for-11 to rack up 13 points and four steals, and Semaj Freeman, who posted eight points along with five boards and five steals. Bazemore is on a roll when it comes to steals, as he's now grabbed two or more in each of the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Donald Porter was another key player, putting up six points and three steals.
Bertie smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 19 offensive rebounds. That's the most offensive boards they've posted since back in January.
Meanwhile, Currituck County made easy work of Camden County on Friday and carried off an 83-57 win. With the Knights ahead 43-22 at the half, the contest was all but over already.
Bertie better keep an eye on Jamie Dance. He was instrumental in Currituck County's win, dropping a double-double with 32 points and 11 rebounds. That makes it three consecutive games in which Dance has scored at least a third of the Knights' points. The team also got some help courtesy of Tristan Peterson, who shot 50% from the field on his way to 20 points and five boards.
Things could have been worse for Bertie, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 55-39 loss to Currituck County when the teams last played back in January of 2020. Thankfully for the Falcons, Carmillo Burton (who went 8-for-12 en route to 21 points in addition to seven rebounds and three blocks) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
