From Tuesday night at Beechwood

Grant Co. 64

Beechwood 62

Tigers held the game through 3 Q being up as many as 18 before Grant Co mounted a comeback and won by 2. 

Great effort by Grant Co SR Dylan Hammond with 30 Pts and 20 Reb. 

Beechwood was led by SR Cameron Boyd 30 Pts and 5 Reb.  

Dylan Hammonds 30 points / 20 rebounds in his first game of the season.

What a BEAST.

Beechwood 0 for the 8th Region to start the year after losses to Walton-Verona and Grant County.

Grant 15 of 29 inside the arc, but only 4 of 17 outside it.

Braves win rebounding battle big, 37-23.

Grant with an always-exciting matchup against South Oldham Saturday....

Beechwood hosts Scott High tonight, with both teams looking for win #1.

A few thoughts:

* Great game by Hammonds, especially in the 2nd half. 

* Cameron Boyd is a beast. Most underrated player in the 9th. Saw a lot of rankings that had him outside of the top 10 players in the 9th. I think those list makers who whiffed have early evidence how off they were.

* If the behavior of the Grant Co. fans and Walton-Verona students in the stands was any indicator of how this season is going to go in terms of foul language and official abuse....it's going to be a very long season. Get worse every year. I don't get it. At all.

Why were Walton-Verona students in the stands?

Not to speak for BrosefStalin, But Beechwood opened the season at Walton-Verona. I think that is what he was saying.

Thank you. Yes, Beechwood's first two games were on the road at Walton Verona and at home against Grant Co.
