- Middletown 66 Aiken 60: After a Willie Moore three pointer capped a 7-0 Aiken run to tie the game at 58 with just 1:37 to go Coach Andrews got the attention of his defense. Coming out of the timeout Middletown forced two straight turnovers and scored 6 points to put the game away with :43 on the clock. The story of the game was the heavyweight battle between Triple Double Prospects top two Cincinnati prospects in 2012, SG Willie Moore of Aiken (who finished with 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists) and Middletown's PG/SG Geovonie McKnight (scored a game high 29 points on 9/15 shooting and 9/11 FT's with 5 rebounds, and 5 assists). The two AAU teammates one upped each other all game long in a thrilling game as McKnight's team ultimately came out on top. Middletown's "Robin" to McKnight's "Batman" was sophomore wing Vincent Edwards, who scored 20 points with 10 rebounds in the win. Edwards has become, in our opinion, the top 2014 prospect in Ohio as he continues to improve his all-around game, Aiken senior forward Paul Woodson had a career night with 18 points and a game high 19 rebounds while sophomore guard Correy Cavins had another nice scoring night with 12. The Falcons were forced to play without two of their varsity players (missing for academic reasons), reducing them to just 7 varsity players; the five main Aiken players played all but 3:35 of the game. At the end of the night the Middies impressed CPHR with their toughness as they sustained momentum in a fast paced game of runs and got a key win over a very tough opponent.
- Note: College coaches from Cincinnati, Ohio State, Duquesne, Cleveland State, Akron, and Northern Kentucky all attended the game to scout players. '12 Aiken SG Willie Moore has signed a letter of intent with Duquesne.
