Dave Ware and Clifford White to tip-in the miss.

The game went to overtime when Bryan Taylor made one of two free

Imhotep
Dave Appdon (1): 8

Highlights
The Lions of Brooklyn humbled the Public League’s Panthers, 57-23,
behind 19 points from 6-foot-7 senior Villanova recruit Jayvaughn
Pinkston, as Villanova Wildcats’ coach Jay Wright looked on. Imhotep
Charter (4-1), last year’s Public League, District 12 and Class AA
state champion, went into halftime down 34-17 and scored just two
points in the third quarter. Panthers forward Earl Brown’s layup with
one minute remaining in the quarter was all that prevented Imhotep
from having a donut in its box score. “They’re a good team
defensively, but I haven’t seen us play this poorly offensively in a
long, long time,” said Imhotep coach Andre Noble.

MVPs of the game were Bishop Loughlin's Jayvaughn Pinkston and
Imhotep's Dave Appdon.
