Broward College’s Men’s Basketball loss against in-state rival, Miami-Dade College on Jan. 29, at Central Campus gym 67-66. The beginning stages of the game started off slow for both squads as Broward went ahead by two early in a first period that was intense, to say the least. Miami Dade didn’t make it easy against the Seahawks as both team were tied at 16 during the first half.
The teams were neck to neck until Guard, Mikhail Rolle shot a two-pointer, putting BC in the lead with a score of 33-32 at halftime. One Seahawk, Daniel Ramis, scored 18 points, which included five 3-pointers. “I work on my throws, mostly getting a lot of reps during training,” said Ramis. Other contributors include Kareem Roach and Dashawn Richmond with 9 points, William Cruz with 12 points and David Gaberlavage had 13 points. These players helped by adding points to the scoreboard with free throws, 2 pointers, as well as 3 pointers. In the last half, BC struggled but managed to keep up with Dade. BC’s Guard, Cruz, suffered injuries to his knee, wrist and his head in the second half, but kept on playing despite those issues.
Miami-Dade wasn’t to be denied as they kept the game close with them tying the game up until they took the lead in the closing stages of the game. Miami Dade also took advantage of the free throw line with 29 attempts and making 20 of them. Dade took the lead against BC 67-64 late in the period and Ramis made two crucial free throw shots, cutting the deficit to one; but, unfortunately, the Seahawks ran out of time to complete the comeback as Miami Dade escaped a close one.
Early on in conference play, BC defeated Dade with a score of 85-61. “The Officiating was very poor. The worst part is, the Head of the Referees, was standing in the stands not doing anything about it,” Said Head Coach Bob Starkman, who, clearly was frustrated with much of the officiating throughout the game.
Despite a great effort from the bench by Daniel, he understood the missed opportunity of this game. He also kept it in the perspective with optimism. “We’re a team so we’re going to bounce back from this but it’s a tough loss against our rival, Miami-Dade,” said Ramis.
There are only a handful of games left for the Seahawks to play against state rivals and February is filled with crucial match-ups against Indian River (Feb 1st at Home & Feb 15th Away), Eastern State (Feb 5th & the season finale on Feb 22nd at Home), Palm Beach State College (Feb 5th) and Miami-Dade (Feb 19th Away) The Seahawks are 16-6 on the season with a 4-2 record in conference play.
