I hate to hear this.  Frank was a very good coach and even better person.  Prayers for the Wright family.

1979  Walton Verona beat Carroll County in finals at Pendleton County

Congratulations. Any relation to Nick Feagan who played at Ryle in the early 2000’s? 

Yes.  Gunner's grandfather and Nick's father are brothers.

First quarter game was back and forth with Conner hitting a 3 at the end to take a 17-14 lead.  Conner pulled out to a double digit lead in second quarter and looked like they were going to put the game away but WV hit a couple shots to keep within striking distance (34-24) at half.  Third quarter Conner maintained their lead but got into some foul trouble.  The 3rd ended 50-38 Conner but Conner had 8 team fouls.  During the fourth quarter WV was able to cut into the Conner lead.  Walton-Verona had a shot to take the lead with under a minute to go but missed a 3 pointer.  Conner made enough FTs at the end to hold on.  Couple observations.  Conner has some very nice pieces and will win a lot of games this season.  Walton-Verona's young kids played well, and if they keep improving WV is going to have a nice season.  

Game was close for the first 2 1/2 quarters.  Simon slowing pulled away.  Owen County will be much better when Ferguson returns. Owen County's point guard took a hard fall midway through the 3rd quarter and did not return to the game (hope she is ok).  During half time they retired former Pioneer star Maggie Jones' KY/IN all star jersey.

1st quarter 14-14

2nd quarter 28-25 SK

3rd quarter 50-34 SK
