Thanks to AveragesJoesGym for keeping me updated on twitter.

SLINK picked Somerset 66-49 in the prediction thread. He knows his stuff.

^ SLINK is pretty solid with predictions.

AverageJoesGym said that Morris for Estill was having a pretty good game in rebounding, steals and assists. When he tweeted it to me he said Baber (#4) for Estill had right around 15 pts. That's all I have, I'm waiting for them to call the scores in

They never did announce the individual scoring after the game. Somerset's bigs (Tyson Williams and Ryan Weddle) both had really good games. Each one fed the other one several times as Somerset went with a high-low game. Cheuvront did a really nice job running the point. Estill hung in there with some nice three point shooting and Morris played a nice game. In the end Somerset's size was the difference.

Somerset played well. When this team played with great effort they are pretty good. Bigs played real well. Williams had 20 and Wedell had 14. Nice passing by both Big's.

I really liked the interior passing tonight for the Jumpers. The bigs are getting to know each other better.

Professor and Randy, you guys are too kind. :thumb:

Another solid win for the Briar Jumpers.
