DEERFIELD BEACH — If you ever wondered what two rival 7-footers talk about after meeting on the basketball court, now you know:
“You’re tall,” Tacko Fall of Tavares’ Liberty Christian said.
“No,” Miami Beach’s Zach Brown countered. “You’re tall.”
Both were correct, of course, although Fall, at 7-foot-6, is five inches taller than Brown.
Besides the height thing, Fall also got the game victory as Liberty Christian prevailed 71-63 at Zion Lutheran High School.
Brown, though, was slightly more impressive than Fall in the individual matchup, scoring 24 points, grabbing eight rebounds and blocking five shots. Brown made 11 of 18 shots from the field and two of five on free throws.
Fall had 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks. He made 8 of 10 shots from the field and three of five on free throws.
Many of Fall’s points came when Brown left his man to help on defense. Conversely, many of Brown’s baskets were straight up on Fall.
Each center had four dunks, and each was charged with five turnovers.
The story beyond the numbers was that Brown had 19 points in the first half, taking Fall off the dribble repeatedly.
“That kind of surprised me because I played him in the summer, and he didn’t have that,” Fall, a UCF signee, said of Brown. “I wasn’t ready for that. But in the second half, I adapted.”
Indeed, Brown, who is ranked by ESPN as the No. 1 center in the nation among the sophomore class, was held to five points in the second half. Part of that was that Liberty Christian double-teamed Brown in the low post, starting with the second quarter.
Despite the loss, Brown was pleased with the experience of playing Fall.
While Fall, came out of the game on a couple of occasions, Brown played all 32 minutes, showing impressive stamina.
“I had so much fun going up against a big guy,” said Brown, who has yet to choose a college. “His coaches, they had people coming out and helping in the second half, and that made it tougher.”
In other action at the tournament Deltona defeated Miami Southridge 59-49.
Senior Chad Brown led the Wolves (19-2) wtih 22 points. Evan Hinson added 11.
