1st round of the District Tournament
On Tuesday, Feb. 23rd we played Trinity High School in the first round of the 12th district tournament. We came away with a 67-55 win in Morgantown. The win set up a district championship game vs Edmonson Co. on Thursday, Feb. 25th at 7:00pm.
We came out very well offensively in the first half with Travis Johnston scoring 5 points in a row, but our defense was not very good and allowed a lot of easy points to Trinity. After our quick start offensively, Trinity switched to a zone defense and we couldn't make many 3's. We did manage to take a 17-14 lead at the end of the 1st quarter. The second quarter was pretty ugly and at the half we lead 25-21. Tyler Saltsman scored 7 points in the 1st half to lead us going to halftime. The big reason we were up at half was the offensive rebounding done by Aaron Deviney and Dustin Thomas. We had 12 offensive rebounds in the first half.
In the 3rd quarter we came out much better against the zone and made 4 3's in the period, led by sophomore guard Brady Clemons, who scored 10 points in the quarter. We led 47-36 going into the final quarter.
In the 4th quarter we traded baskets with Trinity and won by 12, 67-55.
For the game we shot a miserable 32% compared to Trinity's 58%. We forced 19 turnovers while only committing 8 ourselves. The big difference came at the foul line as we made 26-33 while Trinity only made 8-12 attempts.
Brady Clemons was chosen as the K105 Player of the Game. He scored all 15 of his points in the second half. Aaron Deviney led us with 10 rebounds and Travis Johnston led with 7 assists.
Scoring:
Brady Clemons-15
Travis Johnston-14
Tyler Saltsman-13
Aaron Deviney-13
Hunter Gary-8
Dustin Thomas-2
