Commodores lose at buzzer
News Herald (By Josh Weinfuss ) - OCALA - A basket at the buzzer was overturned Friday afternoon and Gulf Coast lost its second game in three outings. Marquis Gilstrap scored 24 points to lead the Commodores. The next highest scorer was Brad Reese with 10. "He played pretty good," Gulf Coast coach Jay Powell said of Gilstrap. "We've got to get more people strong with the ball and finish like men." The Commodores were 1-1 on their road trip to the central part of the state, defeating Seminole on Thursday night. The story Friday night for Gulf Coast was a matter of two halves. The Commodores led 32-26 at halftime but didn't shoot well in the final 20 minutes, Powell said. "Our defense played well," he said. "We held them to 60 points, and in a junior college basketball game, that should win that for you. "You run the same offenses and you get the same looks and when you're open you got to make it. In men's basketball if you can win one out of two going down to Seminole and Central Florida you can at least say the trip was not a total failure."
