          MC&S guard best in land of three

  Luis Martinez yesterday tied the city record for three-point field goals. Nice, but Eric Johnson broke it.

  Martinez, a junior guard, nailed 10 treys (38 points total) for Thomas Edison in an 87-81,
double-overtime Public A loss to Franklin Learning Center.

  Johnson, a 5-11, 150-pound senior guard, shot 11-for-16 on threes en route to 35 points as Math,
Civics & Sciences Charter routed Maritime Academy Charter, 101-42, in a non-league game at the Columbia North YMCA, Broad and Master.
  "I live at 16th and Master. That's my gym. I can roll out of bed and get there," Johnson said. "In our last game against Delaware Valley, I went scoreless for the first time in my 3 years of varsity. I had a chip on my shoulder. The shots were just dropping in. I was moving around, and they couldn't find me."

  Maureece Rice, now a senior for George Washington University, nailed 10 treys in a 2003 game.

  Said MC&S coach Danny Jackson: "Eric had four threes in the first quarter, and my assistant, Lonnie Diggs, said we might have to really get him into the swing of it. He did all his scoring in the first three quarters, then we took him out. He couldn't believe he had the record. I can't say he was that excited, though, because he knew the opposition was kind of weak."
