Final

 

Bullitt East was up at half by 7 until Fern Creek had a really good 3rd quarter when Clint Wickliffe scored 8 & Anthony Wales 7 during a run to go up 10. Bullitt East tried to get back in it in the 4th quarter, but could never regain the lead. Fern Creek was led by Wales with 14 and Wickliffe 13. Ahmad Price missed the game due to illness and foul trouble kept Chance Moore from breaking double figures.

 

Bullitt East has a great fan base that travels, it was a really good game between two district rivals before a full gym.

Very entertaining game between 2 really well coached teams. The 3rd quarter was the difference. Fern Creek just owned it. There is a chance that these teams could play 3 more times this year.

Agree on the well coached team comment, and both teams just played hard with mutual respect. This is a good rivalry between district foes. BE has owned the district for at least the last 5 years and since Coach Schooler has arrived at Fern Creek there have been mostly competitive games between these programs.

 

Clint Wickliffe really had a great 2nd half with 14 points to actually total 15 for the game. I also liked the effort from BE guard tandem of Osborne & Ezell. In a time when most good players are impatient waiting for their turn, I admire that Jared has played behind last years senior class when many would have just left and transferred. He stayed and is really having a great senior year leading his team.

This was a great game. Ezell and Osborne are a really good tandem. One not talked about enough. They looked good tonight. This was the first time I've gotten the pleasure to watch them.

A great learning experience for East, always a plus to gauge a team's progress, by facing higher competition. Due to injuries - etc., this is the first time all season that East had its full compliment of players. And yes they do have one of the better backcourts around. Add in the continual improvement of Polson & Donnigan up front, and East will be a tough out in the 6th.
