Marshall County 73 Pinckneyville (IL) 47

Final from the Rich Herrin Classic in Benton IL via hudltv. Marshall’s led by 5-7 for most of the first half until Pinckneyville went on a run early in the 3rd quarter and took a one point lead. It appeared like that was all it took to wake Marshall County up because after trailing 33-32 early in the third they finished the game on a 41-14 run to win by 26. My thoughts on Pinckneyville is they would be a decent but not great team in Kentucky this year. Their guard play was below average but they have some size including Ty Laur, a 6’7-6’8 senior committed to SIU. I know Graves County beat Pinckneyville by 8 earlier in the season in Murray. I will also say the officiating in this game was very different from the officiating in the McCracken v. Mt. Vernon game in Illinois about a week ago where in that game they let them play and it was very physical. This game was officiated very tight and there were a lot of fouls called. Overall good performance by the Marshall’s. Way to represent Kentucky.
