Prime Time Shootout Live Running Blog- Our Savior New American (NY) vs. Northern Guilford (NC)
by Alex Schwartz
Although it is the only game at Villanova this weekend without a team from Pennsylvania, the opening matchup on Saturday morning of the Prime Time Shootout should still be a good one. The Nighthawks of Northern Guilford are led by 6'7 Jacob Lawson '11, while 6'4 Jonathan Frye '10—amongst others—provides good help to the young big man. For The Pioneers of OSNA, it is their guard play that stands out. Rayner Moquete '09 and Chris Hampton '10 form a nice duo, though Steele Davis '11 is no slouch in the post. This should be a good game featuring quality out-of-PA players. We've got four minutes until tip-off.
