NMH wins season opener over Fork Union!
Fri, 11/19/2010 - 10:30am
Fork Union
W
80-73
- Fork Union Military Academy (7-1) 73
- NMH (1-0) 80
- NMH started the 2010-2011 season by kicking off the National Prep Showcase today, which is a 3 day showcase with the top prep teams in the country getting invites. Over 40 college coaches were in attendance for the NMH-Fork Union matchup. This is the 3rd straight year that NMH has opened the season with Fork Union. NMH came out on top of the previous two matchups. This FUMA club was a much improved team for Fork Union.
- NMH rode the wild wave of the first 3:00 and worked out the kinks while shooting 0-8 from the floor. Fortunately, Fork Union did not take advantage of NMH's frantic start by only holding a 5-0 lead. An Aaron Cosby '11 (Seton Hall) drive and kick to Armani Cotton '11 (Yale) closed out a 7-0 run for NMH over the next 1:00. NMH would not give up the lead the rest of the game. Jvonte Brooks '11 led the way with 8 first half points, Aaron, Armani and Joe Sharkey '11 (Brown) all came in with 7 points. NMH went into the locker room with a 37-33 advantage.
- NMH built an 11 point lead, 49-38, to start the second half only to see the very disciplined Fork Union team respond to cut the lead to 1, 51-50, with 10:00 left in the game. NMH regained their composure and built the lead back to 7 where it stayed the rest of the way. Aaron Cosby and John Golden '11 led the 2nd half scoring with 15 and 10 respectively. NMH also got a terrific game from Tommy Carpenter '12. NMH hit 20 of 23 free throws.
- It is always an honor to compete against Fork Union Military Academy and their head coach, Colonel Fletcher Arritt. Coach Arritt has been the head coach at FUMA for 41 years and has led them to over 750 wins and a winning % over 75%. During his time at FUMA he has sent over 150 players to division I. Coach Arritt is a legendary basketball coach, who is credited for creating the blueprint for prep school basketball. This is expected to be Coach Arritt's final year on the FUMA bench.
- Thank you, Coach Arritt!

NMH loses the battle of the big men.
Sun, 11/21/2010 - 11:45am
MCI
L
82-71
- MCI (4-1) 82
- NMH (1-1) 71
- NMH labored through the first half against a motivated MCI team. The frontcourt from MCI created problems for the NMH frontcourt for the full 40 minutes. NMH held the lead for the first 20 minutes of play and went into the half with a 37-33 advantage. NMH managed to answer all of MCI's runs in the first half, but NMH was not able to pull away.
- MCI continued to score at will inside during the second half. The MCI frontcourt was responsible for 54 of MCI's 82 points on the game. On the other end, NMH had poor execution of their offense and did not take care of the ball well. NMH had 12 assists to 18 turnovers on the day. It was a strange game in that NMH shot the ball very well from the floor and from 3, but many of NMH's shots fell outside of their offense while MCI's scores were in the flow of their offense. NMH shot 54% from the floor and 59% from 3, but MCI won all of the 50-50 balls and every time a rebound or play needed to happen MCI was able to make it and NMH was not. A lot to learn from this early season loss. NMH hosts MCI later in the year.
- Game stats...

Opening Round Game of the Day
#7 Nia Prep (NJ) 86 #10 Northfield Mount Hermon (MA) 89
In the second of Tuesday’s opening round games, 10th-seeded and 2010 National Runner-Up Northfield Mount Hermon would match up with seventh-seeded Alif Muhammad Nia School in a contest featuring two teams with equally effective, but greatly contrasting styles. With Nia Prep using its elite athleticism to get out and score the ball in transition early behind the likes of Kelvin Amayo and Cincinnati-commit Shaquille Jones, NMH would respond with the elite shot-making of Seton Hall-bound point guard Aaron Cosby (six threes, 24 first half points), who would light up the scoreboard and keep his team close with a barrage of three-point bombs from all over the floor. Silky smooth junior Darrick Wood would hit a three to give Nia a three-point lead, at 20-17, with 10 minutes remaining in the half, before a two-hand dunk in transition from Dartmouth-recruit John Golden and a bucket from Yale-commit Armani Cotton a few possessions later would propel NMH in front and give the Hoggers a seven-point advantage, at 31-24, with under seven minutes to play. Cosby would go wild in the closing minutes of the first half, hitting a variety of catch-and-shoot jumpers and deep threes off high ball-screens to ignite a 10-0 run and give NMH a 46-36 lead heading into the break.
NMH would pick up right where it left off early in the second half, beating Nia at its own game with a series of transition baskets to blow the game open and eventually take a 17-point lead on a lay-up by Golden, at 62-45, with under 15 minutes remaining in the game. Nia would respond by forcing a series of turnovers over the next several minutes and fight to cut the lead to nine on a transition lay-up by Wood, at 70-61, with just over eight minutes remaining. Nia would shrink the lead to four, at 76-72, on a run-out bucket from high-riser Deon Maddox, but NMH would respond with a series of inside hoops from Evan Cummins and Dartmouth-commit Jvonte Brooks to fend off a late offensive surge from Amayo and, after a missed Jones three at the final buzzer, eventually hang on for an 89-86, tuck-and-run victory.
Cosby led all scorers with 34 points, with Brooks adding 14, Cotton 12, and Golden and Ethan O’Day finishing with 11 an 10 respectively to round out five NMH players in double-figures. Woods finished with 21 to lead Nia, to go along with 18 from Amayo (16 after halftime) and 13 apiece from Thomas and David Joseph.

NMH battles in 2nd half, but comes up short.

L
65-59
- NMH (21-9) 59
- Brewster (31-2) 65
- NMH advanced to the National Championship quarterfinals for the 2nd consecutive year for a rematch of the 2010 National Championship game vs. Brewster Academy.
- Brewster dictated tempo for the first 20:00 as shots were falling for them. On the NMH side of the floor, they fought to great good looks at the basket, but their shots were not going down. Brewster scored the final 9 points of the half and held a 36-21 lead at the break.
- NMH made adjustments and quickly regained tempo. NMH cut the lead to 5 points a few times in the second half, but Brewster had an answer to keep NMH from getting over the hump. NMH battled hard in the second half in a game that was physical and well played. The bottom line is that Brewster had more of their shots fall tonight. Brewster advances with the 65-59 win.
- Congrats to the NMH 2010-2011 team for a great season. This year, NMH set a record for most wins in back to back seasons and Joe Sharkey '11 (Brown) finishes as the NMH record holder for most games played and most wins in a career.
- Thanks for all of the support yesterday and all season long!
- Go NMH!
