Nature Coast pulls away from Wiregrass
By KEITH NIEBUHR
Published January 23, 2008
When Wiregrass Ranch played Nature Coast in December, it lost by 26. The Bulls fared significantly better Tuesday night, but the result was the same. Behind shooting guard Joey Silvestri's game-high 28 points, visiting Nature Coast defeated Wiregrass Ranch 67-55. "We played hard," Bulls coach Jeremy Calzone said. "It just wasn't enough." Nature Coast (16-7) led only 25-21 at the half and 43-37 after three quarters before finally pulling away down the stretch. Silvestri scored nine fourth-quarter points to help ice it. "He really showed his senior leadership, and that was the difference," Calzone said. "He killed us in the fourth quarter. Every time we'd creep back into it, he'd hit a 3-pointer." Sean Cooper had 19 points for Wiregrass Ranch (6-15). Center Eric Williams added 12 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.
