18-18
Half

I think what we all expected so far, a total rock fight. Taylor and Stadelman have done everything for Warren, Taylor especially came to play. Taylor still not guarding Kendall, but Warren is doubling him every time he catches it. Lupardas picked up 2 quick ones guarding Kendall, but honestly that kid could have fouled out already…he doesn’t really do anything other than foul. Game has been basically officiated fairly, despite what Blane Maddox would tell you.

Keep the scores coming

Stadelman taking over in the 3rd
Warren up 41-29 to start the 4th

Man, Warren has the greatest flopper I’ve ever seen, #3. Little guy is about 4’10 and weighs 45lbs, and it appears his only role is to give Stadelman a breather and fall on the ground.

57 to 53 is the final.. Go Warriors!

Great win, thought Kendall was a big non-factor tonight.

Dude just stop it....know the game...he gets position that most can't and is a pest ...good defender that most opponents take for granted because of his size and they think they can just run over them

Awesome game, round 2 definitely lived up to expectations. Warren's run at the end of the 3rd quarter was the difference. Four straight threes (3 from Stadleman). Tigers scrapped to get back in it, but the Warriors hit their free throws and put it away.

A lot of basketball still to be played, but fingers crossed for a rubber match at the Convo.

Warren had an excellent plan for him. Doubled down on him when he caught it in the post, and made him dribble through a ton of traffic when he was on the perimeter and wanted to drive. They really got out to him well and didn’t let him shoot open 3’s. Did what you need to do on a great offensive player.

Well aware of the game, thanks. The only thing of any consequence he did tonight was draw two fouls, both of which were complete baloney.

No question, not one of Kendall's better games. But in many physical games does he not shoot one free throw?

Maybe there will be another chance for these two teams to meet again. I think they're the best two in the Southeast.

No question the officiating wasn’t good, and definitely some no calls against Alex, but it wasn’t good on either side. Really poorly officiated all the way around. I’m not going to be Blaine Maddox and incessantly complain about officiating when it wasn’t a big factor in the game.

You say you aren’t going to complain about officiating but that’s literally all you’ve done so far on the thread.

Marietta is lucky Warren shot 0-15 from 3 and 40% from the line in the first matchup.

#3 (Anthony) did his job, and did it dmn good..

It was a great atmosphere and an awesome game. I’m just glad Warren was able to win and storm the court like Marietta did at Warren. Pure Bliss biggest game in the last 20 plus years at Marietta ended in the warriors jumping on the Tiger Center court.

Loved it for the kids. #GoBlue

Fortunate for Warren, Marietta's "non-factor" went to the foul line zero times in the game (first time all year). How good must Kendall be to be a non-factor and score in double figures with 9 rebounds and 6 blocked shots? Not taking anything away from Warren's win -- they have the potential to go to the regionals this year. They are a very good team.

Hopefully this rivalry will become a big part of the neo-SEOAL.

Big win for Warren. I’m sure a rematch at the Convo
