PORTLAND—The Jamier Rose Show delivered a command performance Thursday evening. Much to the chagrin of the host Deering Rams. Noble 59 Deering 47 N- 8 19 19 13- 59 D- 9 7 17 14- 47 N- Rose 12-5-30, Ballard 4-1-10, Dodier 3-0-9, Tucci 2-0-5, Guitard 1-0-3, Marzoli 1-0-2 D- Otti 9-0-20, Cleveland 3-0-7, Legassey 2-2-6, Lauture 2-0-5, Yanga 2-1-5, Burke 1-0-2, Butera 0-2-2 3-pointers: N (7) Dodier 3, Ballard, Guitard, Rose, Tucci D (4) Otti 2, Cleveland, Lauture Turnovers: N- 21 D- 23 Free throws N: 6-12 D: 5-10 Rose, the standout senior point guard for the Noble boys basketball team, stuffed the stat sheet and reached a career milestone in leading the Knights to an impressive early-season, interclass victory.
Both teams started slowly and the Rams were up by a single point, 9-8, after one quarter, but with 4:45 to go before halftime, a Rose free throw put Noble in front to stay and the Knights held a 27-16 halftime advantage. Rose then excelled in the third period, scoring 13 points and coming up with six steals in just eight minutes of play, as Noble extended its advantage to 46-31. With 5:18 left in the game, Rose drove for a layup to reach the 1,000-point mark for his illustrious career.
Deering tried to rally and got as close as 10, but Rose and company wouldn’t be denied as the Knights closed out a 59-47 victory. If Rose’s career milestone wasn’t impressive enough, his final stat line of 30 points, 13 rebounds, 10 steals and six assists (a triple-double) was truly .
