So much for my thinking Montgomery would keep it closer. Sounds like the Indians ran into a buzzsaw.

Fuller and Walker for 10 combined. Were they shut down, or did they sit once things got out of hand?

I'm not sure which players they were but as a team Montgomery County shot the ball poorly tonight. Good looks, they just didn't make baskets. They shoot a whole lot of threes.

I did like the PG for Montgomery County. #10. Good player.

The more I see Faulkner the more I'm convinced he's a top 10 player in the state. Maybe top 5. As a team, they are for real.

As was mentioned, the Indians didn't shoot it well. Some of that is a credit to the defense, and some to an off night. Also missed some gimmies. On the positive side, Jones was great inside, scoring pretty much every time he got the ball inside.

Mercer lead by 2 after the first, and it was only about a 6 point game late in the second, but Mercer went on a run to go up 16 at halftime. It stayed in the high teens until into the fourth at which point the Indians tried to press, and ended up giving up a lot of easy baskets in transition where the lead ballooned to 30.

Art Walker (#12) with only 3. He is a key piece to the MoCo puzzle and when he only has 3 points for the game that's usually detrimental to the Indians efforts.

Fuller (#10) is one on if not the best true PG in the 10th from the assist and ball handling perspective. Very high basketball IQ.

He's Top 5 in the State. Faulkner is the real deal. and he just turned 15 I heard.

They shoot in some games close to 30 three's, crazy/fun to watch at the hs level.

Jones continues to score no matter who the opponent is. Kid works hard on both ends.

Jerryd Jones was 11/15 from the field.

Getting ready to turn 16 but young compared to the other top sophomores he is compared to that turned 17 way before the season started.
