Final

 

Markel McClendon with back to back 3's for Holmes with a little over a minute to put the Dogs up 11 and seal the deal.

 

Avery fouled out after leading Holmes with 8 first half points.

McClendon finished with 17...was told Thompson (?) for HC didn't play tonight.

You know why he didn't play?

Beetle?

You know why he didn't play?

 

Not sure...Allsport71 was sending me updates and said Thompson didn't play.

McClendon 17, Bolden 13, Avery 10..Arnold led Holmes with 8 rbs

 

Pullham led HC with 14

Pretty good showing for Harrison if indeed their best player didn't see action.

Flu caused cancellation of HC schools today. Thompson is a victim.

Holmes outrebounded HC 40-34.

 

Bulldogs played 11 kids compared to just 6 for HC.

It's amazing how poorly kids shoot free throws anymore. Should make at least 70%, and many teams are fortunate to make over 50%. Looks like that hurt HC tonite.

I always thought that 71% should be the benchmark; that means there's just a hair above a 50% chance of making 2 in a row.

 

Maybe that's asking too much these days.

McClendon was 6-6 from the charity stripe for Holmes tonight. Rest of the team..6-12.

Rough night for Bolden from outside tonight...1-11.

 

Doubt we see too many nights like that from him. McClendon was 3-6 from outside after struggling against Henry Clay and Brossart.

 

Stroub 1-3 from outside. Pullham 2-6

Score by qtr:

 

Holmes: 19-12-14-20--65

Harrison Co: 14-15-17-11--57

Very solid showing by the Breds without their leading scorer.
