No. 3 Scott County beats No. 1 Trinity 70-65. Teddy Ware 29 pts, Trent Gilbert 17 for Cardinals.

Sounds like that hole the Rocks dug was just a little too deep.

Or the lead Scott County took was too much.

It was probably a little bit of both.

Scott Co was on fire in the first half, mainly behind Teddy Ware's barrage of threes. The way they shot, it would be hard for anyone to beat them.

Trinity played much better in the second half, limiting Ware's open looks and forcing several turnovers. They also hit a lot if shots late to get the margin more respectable.

I'm ready for citycat's take.

No surprise here.

Did Ramser play for Trinity? If he did, he didn't score. Thsrocks was right and I was wrong in the prediction thread.

I was not able to watch the first half of this game, but Spaulding only had one point at the break I believe. Wondering what happened there? He was a beast in the second. Just seemed to run out of time.

Scott Co is playing very well right now. They will be tough to beat come region tourney time.

I'm ready for citycat's take.

 

Saw four awesome games today, each game was close or had alot of intrigue. Since this is the Trinity/Scott County thread I will just speak to that game here. Scott County outplayed Trinity from the opening tip, hitting a three pointer to start the game and never headed. Teddy Ware was unconscious for the Cardinals and sixth year senior Trent Gilbert was just as effective. Scott Countys defensive pressure on Trinity really never allowed them to get any offensive sets going and Raymond Spalding, again, played the incredible invisible man in the first half.

 

Down 20 at half I dont think the game was ever in doubt, Trinity played them well in the second half but was that they played better or did Scott County let up a little with a huge lead.

 

Game takeaways IMO:

 

Scott County: Tony Martini is a wonderful blue-collar player to watch, you just have to love the intensity and toughness he brings to the game. Teddy Ware can shoot but was unconscious today. Long is very raw and kinda reminds me of a very young Felton Spencer. They do have the pieces to win it all in Rupp. Their downside is that they play six players at best, if they get into any type of foul trouble they will struggle.

 

Trinity: Pretty much all rests on Raymond Spalding. I have never seen him play a complete game or ever seen a 6'9" player go thru stretches where he is no factor at all on the floor. They desparately need the Ramser kid on the floor, tonight he had two fouls within the first three minutes of the game and did not play anymore in the first half. Owens is a very underrated player for them, he does all the inside dirty work since Spalding likes to be clean. Having said that they too are a team that could win it all in Rupp also.

Trent Gilbert is a 6th year senior? Is that factual or sarcasm?

Trent Gilbert is a 6th year senior? Is that factual or sarcasm?

 

Probably means he's played varsity for six seasons. I think he played as a 7th and 8th grader at Wolfe County.

If we see Scott County again, we'll beat them.

Sounds like Trinity tried to rally back but probably got started too late in the game.
