Final from Lancaster. What a game. Two of the best players in the 12th Region on display tonight. Carter Baughman for Mercer had 26 points. Jamison Lewis had 34 points. Brayden Sebastian for Garrard Co. had 25 points 12 rebounds. Brice Burkhart had 17 points (5-11 from 3). Charles Jones 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Good early season matchup. Two teams that should really improve as the season progresses.

Garrard gave this one away. 3 missed FT block outs late were killers. Also, some very questionable block/charge calls that went against the Lions. Mercer capitalized, and made plays late. Agreed, both these teams have room to grow and develop.

This looks like it was an exciting game.

Carter Baughman took over in the second half, he was hitting some tough shots. Mercer played without Kaelin Drakeford, he was in street clothes.

Baughman was great. GC was without a starter (Ethan Wall) as well.
