:popcorn:

Pendleton Co won the tip and connected on a 3 to open the game. After that it was all Indians.

Hunter Bentley, a senior who got the starting nod on senior night, sank a 3 from the top of the key and that was a sign of things to come. I only remember the Indians missing two shots in the first quarter, and they tipped one of the misses back in.

Parsley was the star for the Indians tonight, guarding Allen who really had to work for his his 23 points on 9-21 shooting. Parsley also buried several 3s, and I'm not sure any of his shots even grazed the rim.

Where the Indians were red hot as a team, Pendleton did not do a very good job of challenging their shooters.

I think the earlier nod to Parsley's defense "holding" Allen to 23 points on 9-21 shooting goes to show just how good Allen is. I thought their point guard Wood was solid, but they just looked to be a player or two short of giving Allen the support he needs to put Pendleton near the top of the region.
