Junior forward Josh Howard scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds to lead the Black team over the Gold team, 28-23, in a short 12-minute scrimmage at Reynolds Gym here Saturday morning.
The scrimmage climaxed a night of Midnight Madness festivities in Reynolds. A standing room only crowd watched an evening of three-point and dunk contests before the Demon Deacons took the court at midnight.
Junior guard Steve Lepore, an eligible transfer from Northwestern, led all scorers with 12 points. Lepore was 4-of-6 from three-point range and single-handedly kept the Gold team in the game.
Howard led a group of balanced scoring on the Black team. Senior Craig Dawson went 3-of-3 from the field for seven points, senior Antwan Scott scored six points including a pair of dunks and senior guard Broderick Hicks had five points and three assists.
Freshman Jamaal Levy scored six points and senior forward Darius Songaila added five points for the Gold team.
The Deacons will hold their first true practice of the season today in the Miller Center. Wake Forest, 19-11 a year ago, will play its first exhibition game Nov. 2 versus Nike Elite at Lawrence Joel Coliseum. First-year coach Skip Prosser's club opens regular season play Nov. 12 at home against UNC-Wilmington in the opening round of the Preseason NIT.
