Final.

Good game for the first half. Walton-Verona was hitting everything and took a six point lead into halftime. Grant County came out in the third and really fed off a thunderous dunk by Epperson, and retook the lead by four going into the fourth. The pace of the game picked up, which played in the favor of Grant. Walton-Verona started to miss some shots and Hammond’s was dominate underneath tonight. The freshman finished with a game high 30 points and had 12 rebounds. Was expecting a Grant win, but not by this much.

Grant moves to 16-8 on season. Grant played very unselfish 2nd half. Had to have 20 assist. Absolutely owned boards. Very exciting and fun game to watch. Walton shot lights out first half with 7 maybe 8 threes. Not sure if they hit a 3 the second half.

Joe Utter has done a great job since taking over. It looks like he is building a very solid program with the potential for consistency.
