This is a real nice statement win for the Wildcats. With Campbell Co. and GRC being pretty much on equal footing, and CC having clobbered Newport recently, this speaks volumes of the leaps and bounds these hot Wildcats are making while finding ways to win the close battles against decent opponents.

 

Campbell is better than GRC, and they've beaten them this season. CC is the class of the 10th region and they'll prove it again. Not equal footing, in my humble opinion. Added to that, the Newport vs. CC game was at CC, would it have been a different outcome if it was at Newport, ala Beechwood?

According to the update thread, Wellman didn't do much. Sounds like Newport did what they needed to do defensively in holding GRC in check. Doesn't seem like there is anything wrong with GRC in regards to scoring as they average 68/gm according to KHSAA, they just weren't able to do it tonight. Their defense is also really nice, but couldn't get stops when they needed to tonight.

 

I'm aware of the update thread since I was the one providing the updates.

 

GRC averages 55 points per game in its losses. A 4-point second quarter, after winning the first quarter 22-12, was a killer. I spoke with the reporter who has covered GRC all season and he said those scoring droughts have been a recurring problem for the team.

Good to know. I know you were doing the update thread, as I paid attention to it from time to time. Thank you. Never really saw Wellman's name come up much. Just wondered why it was stated that he played decent, when it didn't appear that he did, in regards to scoring (I'm aware there is much else to be done). He's their leading scorer, and didn't score much at all.

Anyone have the stats?

Brennan Canada eclipsed the 1,000 points scored mark for his career in this game. Congrats to him! :thumb:
