Decatur, GA – Besides center Jade McClendon who stands over 6-0 the Chapel Hill MS “Hornets” didn’t have another player in the stating line-up over 5-9 but they out rebounded and out hustled the taller Chamblee MS “Bulldogs” to capture 3rd place in the 2009 DeKalb County MS Tournament of Champions.
It was a slow first quarter as both teams played a little out of control; Willie Moody would hit 3 of 4 free-throws for Chapel Hill but it was Chamblee’s Kamren Mack’s two baskets that help give the Bulldogs a 6-5 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Chapel Hill used a 7-2 run midway through the second quarter to take a 13-8 lead. McClendon would add another basket to push the lead up to 16-8 with 1:33 left in the half. The teams would exchange baskets and at the half Chapel Hill would lead 20-12.

Chapel Hill’s guard tandem of Moody and Emmanuel Walker did a nice job of attacking the basket; Moody’s lay-up gave the Hornets their largest lead of the game 24-14.
Malcolm Battle stepped up his game in the third quarter and joined McClendon as Chapell Hill started seizing control of the glass; his two free-throws with 1:50 left in the third quarter gave the Hornets a 27-17 lead.
Chamblee would make a mini run behind the playoff Devin Bellamy to cut the lead to seven but Moody’s lay-up at the end of the third quarter would push the lead up to nine, 32-23.
Chamblee came out in the forth quarter and really got after Chamblee; Dezmin Reid, who had been pretty quite scored four quick points to cut the lead to 32-27. Avery Patterson would stick a jumper to bring the Bulldogs even closer at 34-30 with 3:35 left to play in the game.
