Hillsville – Carroll County and Fort Chiswell were exchanging runs Thursday night until Isaiah Easter did his version of getting into a Steph Curry Zone.
The Pioneers erased the Cavs 25-18 halftime lead , scoring six straight to pull within 25-24 when Easter found the bottom of the net with a 3-pointer and two possessions later the next 3-pointer came from NBA range, also finding nothing but the bottom of the net.
The Cavaliers defense forced an immediate turnover and you guessed it, Easter fired away with a look in his eye that he knew it was going in before it left his hands. Three 3-pointers in a matter of 90 seconds and just like that the lead was back to eight at 34-26.
Paul Marshall, playing the role of Klay Thompson- the fellow Splash Brother, calmly drilled the next 3-pointer after an Easter steal. Easter would come up with another steal and converted into a lay-up that pushed the lead to 39-26 by the quarters end.
Both offenses were clicking over the final 7:00 minutes with the Cavaliers outscoring the Pioneers 20-16. Easter and Colton Gravley connected on 3-pointers and the team went 6 for 8 from the free throw line to close out the 59-42 victory.
