Graves and Gates each score 20 to lead Big Red
Boys' basketball: Hughes 55, Withrow 47
Hughes senior guard Adrion Graves has signed a letter of intent to play for Xavier next season.
But, a promising career for Yancey Gates, a 6-8 sophomore center, is just beginning.
Hughes, ranked No. 2 in The Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, got 20 points each from Graves and Gates and overcame a furious second-half rally by Withrow to defeat the Tigers 55-47 before a sellout crowd at Hughes.
Hughes extended its winning streak to 10 games. Its only defeat was to Dayton Dunbar in the opening game of the season.
Big Red coach Greg Mills, in his fifth season as head coach, had mixed feelings about his team's effort.
"Other than the Moeller game, we've yet to put two good halves together," he said. "We played a great first half tonight but we didn't play as well in the second. I hope this tendency doesn't catch up to us later in the season."
Graves, ranked the 15th-best shooting guard in the nation by Scout.com, signed a letter of intent in November to play for the Musketeers.
He and Gates helped Hughes build a big lead early.
Graves' put-back gave the Big Red an early 6-0 lead. A 3-point play by junior Lonnie Hayes made the score 11-4. Gates' 3-pointer increased Hughes' lead to 16-5.
Hayes scored 11 points for Hughes.
The Big Red led 21-5 at the end of the first quarter. The lead grew to 32-10 in the second quarter when Gates scored on a two-handed dunk.
Gates scored 16 points in the first half including a 3-pointer. Graves added 13 points in the half to help give the Big Red a 36-19 lead at halftime.
"He's one of the best perimeter shooters in our program," said Mills of Gates. "We prefer him to stay inside, but he has good shot selection."
Withrow, which was favored to contend for the league title, began the second half with a 9-0 run to trim the lead to 36-28.
Hughes did not record its first field goal of the second half until Hayes scored on a reverse layup with less than 4 minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Graves' turnaround jumper gave the Big Red a 47-37 lead with less than 6 minutes remaining in the game.
The Tigers were led by sophomore guard Anthony McBride, who scored 15 points.
