Mack The Knife

A carbon copy of the first game in Warsaw. The Panthers only field goal of the first half came with 2:20 left in the second quarter as Gallatin took a 22-7 halftime lead. Carroll cut the lead to 34-32 after three quarters and took a 38-36 midway through the final quarter. The Wildcats regained the lead and led 50-48 with 5 seconds remaining. After a pair of missed free throws (Gallatin was 8 for 21), Carroll missed a game tying attempt at the buzzer. Gallatin advances to face top seeded Owen County at 6:00 tonight in New Castle.

The movie that propelled Scorsese and DeNiro to superstardom. DeNiro had won Best Supporting Actor for The Godfather Part II two years earlier in a non-English speaking role, but this is where he showed off his acting skills. He lost 35 pounds and drove a taxi cab for a few months to prepare for the role. Scorsece used New York as a character as much as any of the actors. A brilliant character study that is definitely not for everyone. The final sequence is still being debated as to whether it was real or Travis dreamed it.

Two straight wins in Crestwood for the Wildcats. They won 79-75 in February 2019.

Final from Crestwood. The Wildcats bounce back in impressive fashion after letting one get away in Owenton the night before. Ashton Gullion scored a career high 30, including 15 in the first quarter when the Wildcats took control. Logan Riddle added 14 points and 8 rebounds. Gallatin now stands at 12-7 after their 11th victory in 13 games.

That should read Terrell with 14. Skidmore with 9.

Draud led Beechwood with 33. Boyd had 17 and Downton 14. Dickerson with 20 for Gallatin. Johnson and Skidmore had 14 apiece and Gullion added 10. The Wildcats hit 61% from the floor and 3 point range (11-18). Gallatin out rebounded the much taller Tigers 22-16.

Started 1-5 with 4 losses by a total of 9 points, including a 5 point loss to 8th Region contender Spencer County.. The Cats had Jarin Rassman as their safety net last year, so it took a few games for the team to start figuring things out and learning new roles without the benefit of the usual practice schedule.

The victory was the 450th of Jon Jones’ career, all at Gallatin County.

Fairly certain he did. Watched a little bit online. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the players on those broadcasts.

Final from Warsaw. The third quarter told the story as Gallatin turned a 27-23 lead into a 45-28 advantage heading to the fourth quarter. Teagan Moore led a run that cut the lead to 51-44 with around 3:00 left, but Owen could only muster two points the rest of the way. Drake Skidmore led Gallatin with 22 and 6 rebounds. Moore had a game high 24 for Owen.

Skidmore is definitely the definition of a knockdown shooter. He was instrumental in the Wildcats late run at Grant County in the regional tournament last year. Dickerson may have had some jitters. First game running the offense without a lot of practice. He will be fine. The game was played at a frenetic pace with lots of turnovers. Gallatin took better care of the ball the last 6 minutes and made plays down the stretch.

I believe I saw this was Henry’s first victory over Anderson since the 1988-89 season.

The Raiders converted a 3 point play to start the 4th quarter and take a 52-41. From that point fort the Wildcats finished the game on a 29-6 run, including the final 10 points. Gallatin faces Owen County on Thursday at 5:30 in the semifinals.

One glaring omission from the list. What I consider the greatest movie of the decade. Do The Right Thing.
