Franklin Simpson 57 Allen County Scottsville 53

A nice gritty 4th region matchup to open the year, ACS traveled to Franklin Simpson. I was very impressed with the Patriots tonight. With it being the opener I have to assume the Wildcats are just working off the rust. Was a great game from tip to the end. Huge 3 to tie it at 50 at the minute mark for the Patriots, quick couple of buckets expanded the lead to 4 for FS. Took awhile for the Patriots to respond, they capitalized off a couple missed free throws and hit a 3 to make it a 1 point game with 4 seconds left. Late foul on the inbound sent FS to the line with 1.9 seconds and they knock one down the first and get an offensive rebound on the 2nd attempt. Closing out with 2 more FT’s.

ACS Points-

Spears 14, Pedigo 22, A. Grainger 9, Coffey 2, Morgan 2, Turner 4

FS Points-

Brooks 12, McAllister 11, Partinger 15, Sharer 17, Brewer 2

Definitely something to look forward to this season for ACS after going 11-18 last season. The Wildcats play the Purples tomorrow evening in BG.

I’ve missed some HS basketball indeed.
