Its been a few days since the game so heres a recap! Monday night at Walton the Bearcats took on Trimble Co. Trimble Co coming in 1 and 6 and Walton in at 3 and 2, had me wandering what type of game walton would come with. Walton has a reputation of playing to their oppents ability. Walton came with the starting lineup that they used against Williamstown. With Josh Roberts playing his way into the starting lineup after the Boone County game the bearcats seem to be playing with a new purpose.

The addition to Roberts starting at the 3 gives the Bearcats the strength they have needed inside. With Roberts, Daugherty, and Zwick at ur power postions this is change teams are not use to. As Roberts started the game hot scoring 7 straight and collecting rebounds the Bearcats were off and running. As usual the Bearcats let Trimble Co hang around and late in the half the cats were able to take a 3 point lead into half time. At the half Roberts was ur leading scorer with 13 points. Daugherty got into foul trouble early and could only muster 2 points as his shots just wasn't falling.

Second half was a whole different story as Daugherty started catching fire, but foul trouble limited his play. Roberts continued his play but a few ticky tack fouls seen him to the bench as well. Payton Ponzer got a slap in the face which ignited a 10 point scoring effort. 7 in a row. Walton out scored Trimble 41-17 in the second half. Roberts was ur leading scorer with 19 points and 1 rebound shy of a dd with 9. Daugherty ended with 9 points. Walton takes on SK Thursday night at SK. :eek:

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you with us.

The "slap" was not intentional.

 

Miguel Maldonado had 16 points for the Raiders. Ross Ward added 11.

 

I was not impressed with Daugherty, but was VERY impressed with Roberts. If he has been playing like that lately, he would definitely be a starter in my book!

Thanks nwo for the support. Yes Daugherty had a bad night, nothing would fall for him. Saturday against Williamstown he had 20 points and close to a dd I think. Roberts usually comes off the bench has does a great job but since being inserted into the starting lineup he has stepped up tremendously. I have heard several people state that if they had him,he would be a starter on their team.:thumb:

Good 2nd half play be the Bearcats. Roberts is a player , he has always come off the bench even in AAU ball , I believe he's realized he is a starter now and is playing like one. Also # 21 Lynn had a good game his defense has gotten much better this year and not near as many turnovers. I was told that Daugherty has been fighting the flu since Saturday , he and Roberts have aways played well together

Welcome to the site

 

 

This one will get real ugly, real fast, and Walton will lose by 20+.

Roberts and Daugherty have played together for alot of years AAU included. They have also played with the likes of Hurd and Hester from SK. The game will be exciting. If Walton can get to Hurd early and get him in foul trouble it Walton might stand a chance.

I thought Sommers (sp?) had a good night for the Bearcats also - he rebounded well.

And good luck to the Bearcats against SK! I will be pulling for you all.

The game between Walton and SK will only be exciting if Walton can keep it within 20, which they will not. This game will probably be over by half time.

I think this is what most people are expecting, and I hope you're right, but I've seen crazier things. The only way I see Walton staying within 15 points is if Simon Kenton comes out completely flat and Walton is hitting everything they throw up. I think the big 3 of Hester, Elbert, and Hurd will be too much, far too much.

Daugherty had a bad game but hopefully he can rebound and play strong against hurd. I did watch the Scott Sk game and noticed that scott could get to the lane easy so hopefully that stands true for Walton.

Kind of like the Scott game then?

I hope it is like the scott game even if Walton losses it would still be fun to see a game that close.
