Looks like Owen County's big men didn't slow the team down too much as predicted.:ylsuper:

 

They were a force down inside almost immediately. Bet they had 3 or 4 blocks in the first two minutes. Grant became very hesitant to take much inside after that.

 

Things not all rosey for Owen County though...they missed a ton of free throws, especially in the fourth quarter. And they gave up 9 or 10 three pointers. Will need to play better perimeter defense, and concentrate/execute better from the free throw line. It was a good thing they had the big lead, because it might have cost them in a closer game.

 

All in all, a very good win for Owen County, and gives Coach Duvall some material to focus on before the All-A next week.

 

As for Grant County, I don't know if it was Owen's record coming in...or the fact that the Braves next three opponents are Simon Kenton, Shelby County and Oldham County...but they've definitely played better this year.

 

I know some people will say there's no such thing as a "good loss"...but Coach Kinmon will probably get their attention heading into the last half of the year because of this game.

Owen came ready to play, Grant didn't. Owen takes good shots and shoots 52%(?) Grant takes hurried shots and shoots 32%.

 

 

Grant allowed Owen to beat them down the floor and missed some easy shots early in the game that allowed Owen to get out to a big lead. Offense may win some games but defense wins championships. Grant needs to get focued on the task at had. You may have already broke last years record for wins but that is not enough. SK, Walton, and Williamstown all have the ability to beat Grant on any given night if the braves don't start playing good defense and quit dribbling the ball so much. They should take a lesson from their JV kids on ball movement. it seems like most of the time we are one pass and shoot or no pass and shoot. They have great ability and in order to call this season a success you must finish it out strong. You have a good stretch coming up and you must start playing to your potential and get back to what won the games in the early on for you, which in my opinion was good hard nosed defense and ball movement, inside and outside. If you live by the 3 you can die by the 3 and we have great slashers and attackers of the rim. Use that to our advantage. I thought that last night we got intimidated by Owens size and did not attack the big men, they will foul if you take it at them. The big kid for Owen only had 8 points but his presence on defense seem to be more important last night. Not to take anything away from Owen they came to play in this rivalary game and Grant didn't. Get it together braves, this one is over. Learn from it and get back to doing what it takes to get the job done the last half of the season.
