WV scoring

Stanley 13

Lay 9

Clinkenbeard 8

Pardee 5

Miles 5

Clink also had several steals blocks and rebounds. Nice all round game for Zach tonight

WV plays some stellar defense. If the player does get by them, the bigs are there to help get it out.

Hoping Miles is ok.

The better team won. Hope Miles is ok. Nasty dislocation.

Dislocation of what?

Shoulder dislocation for Miles. Crazy part is Miles only played about 8 minutes in the game due to foul trouble and not starting the game and they still held Gallatin to 31..

Wow. Impressive defensive effort by W-V on a team that hung 53 on Collins in a single half.

Both teams played hard and it was a single digit lead for WV until midway through the 4th qtr. Stanley carried WV early scoring their first 7 points. Hope Miles recovers, he looked to be in a lot of pain and it was his left shoulder (and he's a lefty). That might be a nagging injury. Hope for the best. I was impressed with Gallatin. Kids just know how to play ball. Knock down a few more shots and its might be a different ball game if they meet again.

Walton-Verona vs. Oldham County next week really shaping up to be a war.

That'll win you a lot of games.

Walton-Verona vs. Oldham County next week really shaping up to be a war.

WV also hosts Anderson County on Friday.

The thing everyone has to keepin mind is if Miles is okay, WV should get exponentially better. Due to Stanley not being eligible until after summer play, players playing football, injuries, & sickness, these boys have only been on the floor together a few times. As they get more comfortable with each other and find their roles, they could be a team to be reckoned with. They have size, quickness, and depth.. Plus defensively they can make it difficult for the other team to score. They will be interesting to watch late in the season.
