Warren 59
Alexander 46 a final


... made the trip to the WarriorDome to see if the Alexander Spartans were ready to move into the Elite 8 ... my 3rd time to have eyes on the Spartans ... a W at Vinton County, a L at Athens and tonight an L vs Warren ... the Warriors were very Warren like - disciplined, constant motion offensively, solid defensive game turning the Spartans over 17 times, handled the AHS defensive pressure as Alexander was only able to turn WHS over 6 times for the game ... Both teams were effective offensively in the opening quarter as Alexander had all 5 starters dent the scorebook led by Dylan Mecum's 5 points/JK Kearns a trey (3 pts) and single buckets by Caleb Terry/Kaleb Easley 2 apiece ... Warren was paced by senior 2 man Noah NIchols with 9 points in the quarter ... Warren 17 Alexander 16 after 1 ... period had more defensive pressure by both teams as Warren had 4 turnovers vs Alexanders 3 for the period ...AHS's Mecum was the go to guy as he added 5 more points while Warren's PG Seth Dennis took over for Nichols as Dennis added 7pts (11 in the first half) ... Warren 26 Alexander 23 at intermission ... Quarter 3 had the Alexander offense finding 6-10 Caleb Terry down low - the big man hit for 9 points in the quarter to pace Alex ... only Dylan Mecum added points in the 3rd (2pts) as Warren turned up the defense - turning the Spartans over 6 times while Warren logged zero turnovers in qtr #3 ... offensively Coach Maddox's crew spread the wealth - NIchols 2/Austin Barta 5 pts with trey/Dennis 4 pts/Clay Miller 2/Brandon Simonette 2 pts and was responsible for 3-4 of the Alexander turnovers ... Warren 41 Alexander 34 after 3 ... the 4th and final period was all Warren - the Warriors opened up a 15 point lead with 3:16 to play as Clay Miller put up 7 pts at the rim, another Barta triple and Nichols going 5/7 from the FT line ... JK Kearns knocked down back to back triples in the final minute of action to make the score more respectable but this one belonged to the Big Bad Blue of Warren ... Warren 59 Alexander 46 a final ...

Warren kept the Spartans on the outside looking up at the Elite 8 for another week ... beating the spread ... Big game Saturday night @ Gallia Academy for the Warriors ...

Yeah another good one. I don't know how he can keep up with so many stats.... You have help?

[warrior90]

Great napkin stats as usual. 5 straight road games with Gallia, John glenn, Parkersburg catholic, meadowbrook makeup, and Morgan over two weeks will tell what they are made of.

nice write up. thanks for the non-biased fact base information.

Alexander struggled with some adversity. For a team that goes 10 deep, we must build more depth in some areas. Warren is solid as usual.

Go Alex.

Alex needs to use Terry more-watch him against Alex---man among boys. Alex will go as far as Terry will take them.
