Drew McDonald scores his 1000th point tonight. :dancingpa

 

Neither team scored for the 1st two minutes, but Ben Weyer gets the Breds on the board with a trey from the corner and it was off to the races from there for the Breds. Although I should say Weyer and Tanner Moeves, has these two score the 1st 17 points for the Breds, Moeves 10 & Weyer 7. McDonald took over in the 2nd & 3rd quarters scoring 9 & 8 respectively, and the starting 5 were done 4 minutes in.

 

I know this may sound odd, but IMO, the defense was a little lacking tonight. Ludlow was getting too many shoots outside of the perimeter and connected on 7 or 8 3's, on more than one occasion you could see Coach Dawn was not a happy camper.

Ben Weyer hitting jumpers does not bode well for the 9th over the next couple of years.

It is worth mentioning a couple stellar plays from last night (I apologize for not getting on here last night).

 

1. Zach Pangallo, who was beyond the 3 pt. line, and in the act of dribbling, firing a "missile" on one bounce down the middle on the lane to the waiting arms of Ben Weyer for the easy deuce.

 

2. It's a drill you learned in grade school.....going coast to coast passing the ball back and forth to a teammate. Tanner Moeves and Ben Weyer pulled this off to perfection on a "two on one" fastbreak.

 

3. Grant Moeves with a beautiful no look pass "in traffic", for the easy bucket (sorry I forgot who the recipient of the pass was). :(

 

4. So. "sharpshooter" John Ludwig comes right off the bench and less than 10 seconds later fires from way downtown (nothin' but net) for the triple, kid has an amazing stroke.

This is so true, but is foul shot last night is another story. :sssh: :lol2:
