All Things Provance

Camelot’s run to the championship ended Saturday when they lost 79-47 to a red hot Meadowbrook team that advances to it’s first finals appearance.  

Meadowbrook took an early lead in the first half by being lights out from beyond the arc. Camelot was able to keep it close and battled back to tie it at 24 with five minutes left in the half after a deep Brandon Milner three-pointer. 

Then Meadowbrook outside shooters came to life, going on an 11-0 run to close out the first half with a 35-24 advantage. A combination of shooting 60% from deep and getting 14 points off turnovers put Camelot into a hole.

Coming out at halftime, Camelot switched to man-to-man to prevent the perimeter shooters from getting open looks. However, not even three minutes into the 2nd half, the Meadowbrook shooters were locked in and had stretched the lead out to 44-24. 

“It was just one of those games where they were making everything,” said Adam Provance. “A credit to them, they were lights out all game. It’s not like only one of them was knocking them down, all of them just couldn’t miss.”

Camelot’s offense went cold, shooting 19.2% (5-26) from 3 point land. An offensive rebound and put back by Jacob Hernandez finally stopped a 24-0 Meadowbrook run around the 14-minute mark. 

Camelot was able to put together a couple of good possessions that got the lead down to 18 after a shifty drive and lay up by Charlie Barnett. 

With the game out of reach and about 11 minutes left, things got a little heated between teams as the lack of effort and interest from the officials allowed things to get out of hand as they never blew their whistles. 

Camelot wraps up their season with it’s best finish and deepest run ever in the stake tournament. Tyler Colson led with way with 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 blocks while Brandon Milner added 10 points and 6 rebounds.

Last year, Camelot won only two games, and this Camelot earned five wins. They look forward to next season and hope to build on it’s this season
