Managed to get in and seated at halftime with Fairdale leading 33-28. I'll do updates as best I can... keeping in mind that my primary concern right now is whether the bratwurst at the concession stand is really my best option.

 

Cory Thomas nails a triple right out of the break to push it to 36-28 Fairdale.

4:34 to go in the third; 45-30 Fairdale. Lead pushed out primarily on the play of Caleb Longacre who I believe has six of the Bulldogs' 12 since the break.

12-2 run. Impressive.

^ I don't know anything about the relative strengths of E-Town, but Longacre and Thomas for Fairdale can flat-out play and ETown just doesn't seem to have a solution.

How is McDonald doing for E-Town?

End of the third; Fairdale leads 52-39.

I've seen the pair many, many times. The supporting cast will continue to get better and better. Fairdale will be a work in progress but should be solid once that regional tourney gets underway.

I've only seen the game since halftime and don't have any first half stats so I couldn't really say. Not a huge factor in the third quarter.

E-Town clawing their way back in. Back-to-back threes from the Panthers followed by a steal and layup by the aforementioned Nik McDonald cut the lead to just nine.

 

58-49

E-Town just can't get enough going. Fairdale up 12 with 1:30 leftin the game.
