OAK HILL — A little high-low was a little too much for Bluefield.

Jack Flournoy scored 28 points — 10 straight in the fourth quarter — and had 11 rebounds and four blocked shots and Kalif Wright added 21 and three big assists as Class AA No. 2 Oak Hill (15-3) pulled away and beat No. 7 Bluefield (14-5) 75-55 Monday night at the Lilly Center.

The win came on the heels of a 66-63 loss to PikeView Saturday — the team’s first loss to a school other than Wyoming East or Ravenswood in nearly two years. In fact, that last loss to a school other than East or Ravenswood was to Bluefield in the state tournament in March of 2008.

But not on this night.

The Red Devils’ big two of Wright and Flournoy scored seemingly at will at different times as the Red Devils pulled ahead early and held off several Beaver attempts to get back in the game.

Until Flournoy went on his own little run in the fourth — with 10 straight points — six on assists from Wright from the top of the key.

“We told the guys to be patient and reverse the ball,” Oak Hill coach Fred Ferri said. “Jack was being guarded by a smaller guy and Kalif had a bigger guy on him. We let him get the ball to Jack inside. Those were good passes by Kalif.”

Wright, who also had 10 rebounds on the night, simply lobbed the ball inside to Flournoy who collected the ball and scored easily as the Red Devils made a 12-point lead a 21-point bulge with four minutes left.

Game, set and redemptive victory.

“My dad told me a long time ago if you get the ball inside, within five to eight feet, don’t kick it back out unless you have to,” Flournoy said of his late father, coach John Flournoy. “My teammates did a good job of getting me the ball in the post.”

It was from the outside early that the Red Devils established a double figure lead.

Thomas Booth and DeAndre Leonard hit threes around a Kalif Wright basket to break a 4-4 tied and give Oak Hill a 12-4 lead.

Up eight later, Flournoy had a pair of threes and Booth ended the quarter with a pair of free throws to give Oak Hill an 11-point lead, 24-13.

Bluefield was able to whittle that to five, 31-26, before Wright scored the final five points of the half to put Oak Hill back ahead by double figures at the break.

Oak Hill scored the first nine points of the second half, capped by a Kyle Colon three to seemingly seal the win.

But still Bluefield — who got 17 from Brian Steptoe, 14 from Craig Ponder and 10 from Kyle Harris — fought back.

Until the Red Devils found a mismatch they went to continually.

“I think we match up pretty well (with Oak Hill),” Bluefield coach Buster Large said. “I was disappointed that we didn’t seem to have any spunk. Give all the credit to them. We just didn’t play well.”

Ferri did not dispute that fact.

“I think we played very well and they didn’t play that well,” Ferri said. “That’s a really good basketball team. Very talented, very athletic. We aren’t 20 points better than they are. It was just a night we played very well.”

And maybe there was a little bit of motivation coming off the loss to PikeView.

“We came out and redeemed ourselves for that loss,” Wright said. “Everybody played well and we played as a team tonight. I think we were upset about that loss but we have to focus now on getting ready for the sectional tournament.”

Oak Hill will be at Nicholas County tonight while Bluefield hosts Wyoming East at Concord College.
