Basketball Roundup 12.30.17: Fluvanna girls and boys grab wins over Bruton

Fluvanna’s boys basketball team is oft to a vastly improved start over last year thanks in part to a pair of wins as host team of the Christmas Bash. The Flucos followed up a solid win over William Monroe Thursday with a gritty 48-46 victory over Bruton Friday night.

 

A.J. Gregory led the way with a double double, notching 17 points and 10 rebounds while Drew Pace put up a solid offensive performance too with 16 points.

 

The win puts the Flucos at 4-6 on the year through the first 10 games as opposed to last year’s 0-10 start to the first campaign in second year head coach Jason Davis’ tenure.

 

The Flucos jumped out to a 20-5 lead early but Bruton clawed back into the game and closed the gap to just 31-26 at the break. The Flucos then endured a 15-3 run by Bruton that put the Panthers up 45-44 early in the fourth quarter. With four minutes left, Fluvanna took a 47-46 lead and then neither team managed to score much, with the Flucos hitting a single free throw over than final four minutes to get the two-point win. Caden Koslowski and Emory Davis spearheaded that defensive effort down the stretch.

 

The Flucos will host Monticello Wednesday night as they jump back into Jefferson District play.
