Operation Sports has done it! They've won the Palm Tree Shootout, beating the Arkansas Razorbacks 66-57 tonight. In their first game where they were legitimate underdogs, they fought hard and came away with the victory. They held Arkansas' star, Clarke, to his season low 11 points.

It's safe to say that T.J. Youngblood might have earned himself a starting spot after tonight's performance. He scored 16 points on 7-9 shooting, and just made a huge impact on the game while he was in the game. David Sooner also made his presence known tonight, getting his career highs in both scoring and rebounding.

David Walls recovered from his 4 point effort with a 10 point game, but still couldn't find his shot. He shot 3-9 from the floor in the game, which isn't terrible but more is expected out of him. Harlee Estepp continues to put up solid numbers from the center position. He had 3 blocks for the second straight game as well.

Operation Sports' success has come as a surprise. It's safe to say that it has come from a team effort, as they haven't had one guy become the go to guy. Every night people contribute and get the job done. Hopefully the success can continue.
