Clashes in style may create intrigue in boxing, as the adage goes. But on the basketball court at Chester Charter Scholars Academy Monday night, there were only slight differences in approach to be found between the Sabers and Delco Christian.
Both teams want to move fast. When that doesn’t work, they try moving even faster.
“To be honest, this game was really fun and really interesting to play, because a lot of teams want to slow it down early,” Delco Christian point guard Khamai Orange said. “But I think this helped us even more, because we were able to play as fast as we can. When they speed up, we’re going to get sped up. So making the game faster just helps us.”
Orange might have had fun even if he hadn’t scored 35 points in leading Delco Christian to an 85-75 win in a battle of teams that entered unbeaten in the Bicentennial League. But the win to move the Knights to 11-1 on the year adds a little extra to a speedy day on the hardwood.
