Vinton County 52
Fairfield Union 44 final
… Vinton County took on Fairfield Union in the Black & Blue division in the second game coming out of the Logan Sectional … VC hit the floor in the pockets of the FU players … one of the BEST defensive halves of hoops I have watched from the Cheap Seats - communication was key, switching off defenders to keep a body in front, in the face of PG Jordan Barr - it worked imo - got the ball out of Barr’s hands, put a long body in his face when he wanted to get the outside shot … Coach Mitchem from Warren noted that even though FU was behind on the scoreboard the Falcons had actually out rebounded the Vikings on the boards … but numbers never lie as VC rode its defense to a Vinton 22 Fairfield 10 lead at intermission ... the third quarter saw Jordan Barr have the ball in his hands more, enabling him to begin to impact the Falcons on the offensive end - Barr looked for his shot from downtown (one tree ball), penetrated with the ball rather than give it up enabling Barr to get to the rim or dish , set up fellow players by getting the ball where they could score (only a jr) … end of 3 Vinton County 32 FU 26 … FU had the added benefit of being in the double bonus for all 8 minutes of the 4th quarter going 7/12 from the line … Vinton County trumped the FU shooting by hitting 12/18 FTs themselves in the period … what had become a close 4-6 point game was to near double digits as 2 technical fouls were called on FU … Vinton County’s FRESHMAN Jordan Albright was 8 for 8 from the line (4 FTs made were for the technicals called on the FU bench.followed by a 2nd T on an upset player… Vinton County 52 Fairfield Union 44 a final …
