Great pictures Panda. Walton played a solid game tonight. It was the most energy they have played with since they got back from Richmond. Good luck against Simon on Thursday.
I'm really glad the NCKC conference elected that you must play each conference team only once starting next year. Playing a team 3 times is not easy. The teams know each other so well. Not sure what you get out of a game that is 11-11 at halftime. Good luck to Coach Mefford and his team in next weeks district tournament. It was nice to see Valerie Warren go out with a win on her senior night. Hopefully Walton can find a way to win on Monday when they play Grant for a 3rd time.
Don't know if I would call 35-30 rebound margin dominating. Burns didn't score but he was a factor on defense. He made Owen's players adjust shots. Part of the reason they shot around 30% for the game as a team.
I thought Gallatin played with a lot of energy on both ends. Coach Roberts had a very good game plan. A bounce one way or the other and it is a different outcome. I know officials take a beating most time, but I thought the game was very well officiated. Maybe the best game I've seen this year.

Walton has not won the region since 1993. With that victory I believe they won 7 regional titles out of 14 seasons (79, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90 & 93), but a couple were in the 10th before they were moved to the 8th. I agree it is going to be a while before Walton competes for another region title.
