Final from Walton on Saturday evening.

 

Walton-Verona gets back in the win column after a loss to Highlands earlier this week with the victory over Boone County.

 

Boone was hindered by early foul trouble on Kayla Saner, who had to sit most of the first half. This helped Walton go into halftime with a 3 point lead. Saner, who can shoot the rock, was somewhat limited in the second half as Walton did a good job keeping tabs on her. I could not find a box score this morning to see what she finished with, but Boone's Sydney Foster played well leading the Rebels.

 

As per the Walton Verona Athletics Twitter feed, Hailey Ison led all scorers with 34. Morgan Simpson finished with 17. Great job by the two Bearcat Seniors.

 

Boone goes to 9-4 on the season and Walton moves to 11-4.

Walton Verona did a good job executing their offense and worked hard on defense limiting Foster and Saner's touches. Boone was very undisciplined with the ball, turning it over frequently and let the Bearcats live on the foul line with many senseless fouls. If Foster doesn't handle the ball, Boone looks as if they're auditioning for a "street ball" video. Hats off to WV for a good win!

A box score was put up sometime today on the Enquirer's website.

I thought both teams were a little loose with the ball in the first half. It seemed like Walton was able to clean it up a little in the second half and became more effecient.

Congrats to WV on the win..seems like things are working well in Walton.

Yes, they did a good job taking care of the ball the second half. They also brought more intensity than Boone did. They did a very good job making free throws as well.
