Jerone Morton led all scorers with 19 points.  Aden Slone had 12 & Jared Wellman 10.

Samuel Campbell paced Oldham with 16 points.  Tyler Slone had 15 & Grant Gibson 10.

[Mojocat]

Hard to win when 2 of your better players have 11 turnovers between them.  In the end, total turnovers ended up fairly close (16 for OC, 14 for GRC) - so it wasn’t the number of TOs that killed OC, but that they coughed the ball up in some very crucial spots. Stats look fairly even - except for shooting percentage, which looks to be the difference in the game.

Nice win by the Fighting Goldies.

Oldham County battled back when they could have mailed it in after a tough 3rd quarter.

Cut it to 4 late.  And had a shot to make it a one possession game, but turned it over.

I believe this is your basic rhetorical question.

I wonder if anyone's state champion pick lost today.

Down by as many as 15 in the 3rd, I believe.

GRC's man to man defense won this one, pure and simple.   Very impressive

Despite the slight size advantage, it was very impressive that Oldham dominated on the glass, 33-24, but the Colonels couldn't took advantage of that.   Colonels with 12 offensive rebounds.
