THE 17'S WON VS. OHIO PHENOMS 69-59

BOXSCORE:  DUVALL 16, THOMPSON 13, ELDER 13, POND 10, DAVIS 10, GRAHAM 8, OWENS 3, SPARKMAN 3, HOWARD 2 AND PHILLIPS 2.


RIVALS:   PG Cornelius Elder, 6-foot, Nashville Ensworth Academy 2013: Elder might be a four-star football prospect, but he can get it done on the hardwood as well. An explosive athlete with excellent top speed from end to end, he's a gifted ballhandler who can get to the rim. For a player who relies very seldom on his perimeter jumper, it's amazing how easily the speedster can get to the rim in the half court. On Thursday, Elder led his Team Nashville squad to two wins by making opposing guards look silly as he blew past them off the dribble and scored around the basket, where he has excellent body control after taking a hit. A pure point guard and floor general, Elder also is able to shine on the defensive end by using his quickness to pressure the opposition into turnovers.
