SCOTT DEPOT — As Hargrave Military Academy and Huntington Prep flew up and down the court in an exhibition fit for an overcrowded gym, there was one center of attention.
Emphasis on “center.”
The first 10 points in Hargrave’s 111-103 victory came from the big, big man inside, Iran Bennett. That brought immediate smiles from the green-clad Marshall fans who popped in at Teays Valley Christian School.
As well it should have.
Bennett finished with 27 points in a game played the day after the 6-foot-10, 320-pounder signed to play for the Thundering Herd. He showed that while he still has a way to go to get into the required condition, he’s got the tools to wreak havoc in Conference USA.
