Griz commit Mathias Ward blows up

Posted on January 7, 2008 by Colin O'Keefe
Take note Grizzlies, this is what happens when you get your bigs the ball in a position to score. News comes from the Kitsap Sun that Mathias Ward dropped 56 points and grabbed 23 rebounds in a game against Central Kitsap on Friday.

It was the greatest night Mathias Ward ever had on a basketball court, and he had to make sure the evening had a happy ending.

Ward, Gig Harbor's 6-foot-6 forward, broke school records with 56 points and 23 rebounds as the Tides beat the Central Kitsap Cougars in overtime Friday night, 83-78.

Ward, who dominated the paint, scored his team's final eight points, including four in the final 1:14 to send the game into overtime.

"I knew I needed a big game for us to get a victory," said Ward, who has signed with Montana.

While reading this article I pulled up Google Maps and calculated the time it takes to drive from my house on Bainbridge Island to Gig Harbor...1 hour, 11 minutes. Hm.
