The Red Boiling Springs Bulldogs had just gotten thru watching the Lady Bulldogs have a big win over Pickett County and now it is their turn to see if they can put some kind of game plan together.
What the Bulldogs failed to do in the first half was a combination of turnovers and poor shot selection. Pickett County has an excellent team and with their superior speed and size they were able to trap the Bulldogs into turnovers, just trying to get the ball down court.
The Bulldogs seven points in the first half came from a 3 pointer by Skylar Holden and baskets by Nick Deckard and Brince Crouch. As this game progressed into the second half the Bulldogs started to change their offense and some shots started to fall especially from 3 point range. The Bulldogs nailed six 3 pointers for the game but only had four 2 point baskets.
By the end of the third quarter this game had gotten out of hand and both coaches chose to use the bench and everyone from both teams got to see action. Scoring for the Bulldogs were Brince Crouch with 10 points, Nick Deckard 6 points, Alex Mullinex 6 points, and Zane Roberts 6 points, Skylar Holden 3 points, Dallas Greanead 2 points, and Ty Tuck had one point. Final score Pickett County 63 RBS 34.
