Bowling Green 66 Christian County 61

Purples go on the road last night and find a way to pull out a hard fought win 66 to 61.

Christian County led by 2 after the First Quarter and completely outplayed BG in the second quarter taking a 10 point lead into the break.

I'm sure Coach Sherrill lit into the Purples as they came out on fire defensively and forced Christian County into some turnovers BG used to climb back into the game.  And BG took their first lead of the game as the 3rd Quarter horn sounded.

It was an entertaining 4th Quarter as the lead went back and forth.  The Colonels earned their final lead of the game off free throws by Acree at 61-60 Christian County with 1:21 to play, but BG would respond with buckets by Anthony Davis, Christian Muhire and free throws by Braylen Anderson to reach the final score of BG 66 - Christian County 61.

The Colonels were led by their fine big man Rasean Livingston who had 23 points in the game.  But he was the only Colonel with double figures.  Christian County is a good team.  They like to press and get after you and they do a good job getting into the passing lanes.  Good luck the rest of the way!

The Purples were led by their only senior on the roster Christian Muhire with 19.  Braylen Anderson had 17 and Anthony Davis chipped in with 10.  Really liked the fight in the Purples in the second half and the roll they are on right now.  Winning helps alot with the bonding of this young Purples group.

On to play in some holiday events before what I expect to be very tough district games (vs Warren Central, South Warren and Greenwood) in the new year.

Happy Holidays!    Go Purples!
