Once again free throws cost Walton a game. 

Congrats to my western neighbors.  

The RPKOD strikes again.   But hey - he’s a Bracken County guy. Perhaps there’s a method to his madness.

15-32 ain’t gonna get it done. Any idea how many misses were front ends?

21 turnovers didn’t help, either. 

And the Reed brothers can put on a show. 

Sounds like CCH beat Walton twice. That’s rough for the Bearcats

Happy for Adam and the Polar Bears.

Guy beside me said early in the game that Walton was shooting 61% as a team from the free throw line for the season. That's not good. They had every chance to put this game away and didn't do it. Kudos to both teams, however, for giving an all-out effort throughout the game. Neither team backed down one inch for a single second.
