Simon Kenton 66 Ryle 53

Final

Pioneers 3-0!

I believe Niece had 28.

Niece 28, Kitchens 21 and Kelch 11 tonight. I said during the summer Niece would light it up this year.

Vince Rankin of Ryle had a really nice night, I believe 31 and 15. Both teams played hard all night, my first look at Simon Kenton, they looked really good, was impressed with Kelch, I actually thought he had more points than 11.

It looks like young Niece is following in his sisters footsteps. Great game for Kelly!! I'm glad to see Kitchens getting more involved as well. Looks as if he played a great game as well.

Trent raved about Niece in my pre-season discussion with him. He adds a whole new dimension to SK.

Kelly will play D1..... mark it down..

He has a very good chance to be the best to ever play for SK.

Better than Troy McKinley?

was getting ready to say the same.

Niece is a very very good player. Been impressed with him for along time. He has a great feel and attitude for the game. Congrats to a fine young man!

Better than Troy McKinley?

I think so Troy was great but Niece might be the best time will tell.
