Thursday, November 10, 1994, The Gazette, Page 3 Army dunks Navy, takes All-Services title When it came down to crunch time, Army took full control in the All Services Basketball Tournament last weekend at the base gym. They stared elimination directly in the face forfour straight games, but never succumbed to the pressure. They were a team on a mission. After ambushing the Marines in their opener, 80-43, Army was caught off-guard by a surprisingly strong Navy team that had disposed of the Air Force, 69-59, in the opening contest. Navy benefited from a 23point performance by Mark Bragg and a 9point lead at the half to take home the win. The loss dropped the GIs to the loser's bracket where it suddenly became do-or-die. But Army was up the challenge. Meanwhile, the win gave Navy an automatic berth in the championship game, but they would have to wait a while before they could take the court again. Their opponents still had to be determined. Air Force and the Marines had to determine which team would take on the Army next, and which team would become spectators - the first victims of the tournament. A 45-point explosion in the first half gave Air Force the upper hand and they cruised to an easy 90-74 win. Williamson was the top scorer for the winners with 21 points, while Mayo added 15, Thompson 12 and Love 10. Anthony Burke took game-high honors for the Marines with 24. Army then took the court against the winners and used thefree-throw lineto mount a 10-point lead in the first half going 10-14 from the charity line. By the time the final buzzer sounded, Army had rolled up an 8264 win. Claude Hammond's 14 points paced the winners, while Ronald French chipped in with 13. Thompson netted 17 to lead the Falcons, with Harvey adding 11. The win sent Army into the showdown with Navy forthe championship. Armywould have to win twice to take home the title, Navy needed only a single victory to hoist the crown. Neither team would bow to the other, however. From the opening seconds, it became evident this was going to be a fight. Navy came out swinging behind the shooting of Bragg and Maurice Flournoy. Bragg's 11 first half points and Flournoy's 8 gave Navy a 32-24 lead at the break, and Coach Dave Horton's team was just 20-minutes away from taking home the bacon. But the Army refused to throw in the towel. This fight wasn't over. A second-half explosion led by guards Hammond, Shelton Gore and Robert Preston erased the Army's deficit in a hurry. By game's end, Army had the advantage, 7362. Bragg was the game's leading scorer, with 22 points. Army's Michael Winding was next with 15, while Hammond added 12 and Gore 10. The win forced a one-game showdown for the title, and it was certain to be a battle. Navy took control early, benefiting from the hot hands of Bragg (12 first half points) and Shannon Brown (6). But the "Blue and Gold's" aggressive play got them in foul trouble and Army capitalized, going 13-16 from the charity line. At the intermission, Navy held a 40-32 lead, but everyone in the is.
