Foreman’s Game-Winner Helps Florida Flight Edge Franklin Knights 114-112
Kissimmee, FL - June 25, 2010
For Immediate Release
(Kissimmee, FL) – Dwayne Foreman’s layup with three seconds remaining
gave the Florida Flight a hard-fought 114-112 win over the Franklin Knights.
The game was close throughout, as neither team led by more than eight points at any time during the
contest. Among those in attendance to watch the Flight’s victory were 2010 Miss Florida USA Megan
Clementi and the reigning Miss Central Florida Teen USA Becca Chisholm. Former Orlando Magic
standout Dallas Mavericks Assistant Coach Darrell Armstrong also came out to take in Kissimmee,
Florida's newest professional basketball team.
Franklin trailed 112-107 in the final minute, but a three-point play by Jarrell Houston (who
finished with a game-high 33 points) and two free throws for the visitors from Tennessee knotted
the score at 112. That set the stage for Foreman’s last-second heroics. Florida’s Ernest Jones
preserved the win when he raked the ball out of Houston’s hands as the final horn sounded.
The Knights took a seven-point lead into the locker room at halftime, but the game turned in the
third quarter when the Flight outscored the Knights 41-24, giving Florida a seven-point lead
going into the final stanza.
Willie Irick led the Flight with 25 points, shooting a sizzling 9-11 from the field. He also
collected a team-high eight rebounds. Trevor Bing finished with 20 points and Alex Hill
contributed 18. Foreman finished with 17 to go along with six assists.
About the Florida Flight
The Florida Flight is in its first season as part of the World Basketball Association (WBA). The WBA’s
purpose is to serve as a training ground for professional players, coaches and personnel both on and
off the court.
