Samardo Guides St.
Benedict's to Victory in Prime Time Shoot Out
Any fears of a St. Benedict's let down after an
emotional win against St. Patrick Friday night were
quickly erased, as head coach Danny Hurley's
squad eased past Our Savior New American, 77-63.
A night after being stifled by the St. Patrick
pressure, Gray Bees guard Tamir Jackson bounced back
with a strong performance, leading the way for the
nation's No. 2 team with 26 points. Down low, Samardo
Samuels had another impressive effort, racking up 25
points.
With his string of dominating performances in big games,
Samuels is building a credible claim to national player
of the year honors. In addition to the two wins at the
PrimeTime Shootout this year, Samuels has also led the
Gray Bees to victories in the City of Palms Classic and
Bojangles Tournament, as well as individual showcases
against Oak Hill Academy (Va.) and American Christian
(Pa.)
Gerardo Suero had a monster game for Our Savior
New American. He accounted for 27 of the team’s 63
points.
