Three-point quack attack

From The Sun's Stefen Lovelace:

The Douglass boys basketball team has become one of the hottest second-half teams in the area. One of the biggest reasons why? Three-point shooting.

It’s no secret that the Ducks can light it up from behind the arc. What is a surprise is that no defense can seem to stop them, even though they face a 1-3-1 zone defense against virtually every opponent.

"We have a barrage of shooters, which helps us to eliminate the zone threat," Douglass coach Rodney Coffield said. "Any of our guards can knock down the three and we’ve been getting good looks."

It doesn’t hurt that the Ducks are an experienced group. Guards Omar Strong, Brandon Simms, Justin Berry and Alexander Garner have all been effective, pacing the Ducks to an 11-4 record and 5-0 conference record in Baltimore City Division 2.
