That’s a nice start, especially missing your two best players. Anybody else getting the feeling Ross Pangallo is going to be really good?

Ross got NCC off to a great start with his 11 points in the first quarter. 3/5 from the line, which Coach Dawn said after the game will be a point of emphasis in practice, as the Breds went 8/15 from the line. The score would have been a bigger difference if Hunter and Howard made their 2 foot bunnys for sure. Overall, a good first game for NCC.

Walton is small this year, but don't let the lack of size fool you. They are quick and were diving after every loose ball, very scrappy. The second half was pretty even up with NCC - 33 NCC, 32 Walton. With only one returning player from last year, Watson, The chemistry set is still being mixed, but I feel this group will gel after a while.

Pretty clean game, Walton only got to the line for 3 FT's.

Ross will be a good one. He's a kid that needs his reigns loosened up a bit. Ron will let him play!
