Greendevils move to 7-6 on the year and 3-2 in the conference. Well balanced scoring effort, with about 3 or 4 guys between 10 and 15 points.

 

Ryan St. Blanchard led Heritage with 23 before leaving with about 3 minutes left in the game with a large rather bloody gash on the left side of his head.

Congrats to Dayton. Heritage has been struggling, but they still put up a good fight every time out and they have some nice talent on the team. Dayton can be good if they continue to work as a team like they seemed to have done tonight. Nice win!

Dayton came out rather strong and was leading 17-4 by the end of the 1st quarter before Heritage knew what hit 'em. I think it was pushed to about 20-4 before Heritage finally stopped the run and played about even to the half. They even started to make a run in the last 5 minutes or so, as it shows, cutting the lead to about 10, but without St. Blanchard they couldn't dwindle the big lead anymore.

 

On a side note, the Eastin kid from Dayton was apparently in the coach's doghouse through about 3 quarters until he entered just under the 5 minute mark of the 4th quarter, and in that amount of time it appeared that he probably missed double figures by a bucket and had about a handful of boards and interecepted a few passes... He can play.

 

Also on that note, it is a testament to the rest of the team for how well they played without him. Was really impressed by the sometimes erratic guard play... Young seemed to find a lot of open men under for lay ups, Brownfield seemed to get in there a fight with the trees for a lot of boards, and Lovell hit a lot of shots...
