South Webster 66
Wheelersburg 56 a final
Wow! South Webster hadn't beaten the burg since 2017 - tonight's W didn't look like it was going to happen - for awhile ... one of those games of "2 halves" in this case 2 totally different halves ... as the Jeeps jumped out early in the first behind the shooting of 6-5 freshmen big man Eli Roberts - the smooth post/wing man dropped a dime on the Burg - hitting for 10 points including 2 deep triples to go with a pair of deuces ... chipping in for SW with 4 points each in the opening qtr. Cam Carpenter and Will Collins ... leading scorer on the young season for the Jeeps - senior PG Trae Zimmerman chipped in with a trey for 3 in the 1st ... Wheelersburg tipped it off tonight as an enigma as WE in the cheap seats had no idea where the points where coming from as WHS graduated a BIG chunk of their lineup/scoring from last season ... returning for WHS was Eli Swords - the senior had 4 points/ Cooper Mckenzie added 5 with a triple, newcomer Josh Clark looked to add solid ball handling, and aggressiveness to the Pirates lineup hitting for 4 points, & rounding out the WHS scoring Nolan Wright with a 3 ball ... South Webster 21 Wheelersburg 16 end of 1 ... Wheelersburg showed what we have come to expect from a Burg team by being physical/ getting into the lane, forcing defenders to try to keep them out of the paint - it led to getting Zimmerman for SW a seat on the bench with 2 fouls in the opening qtr ... the 2nd period had Wheelersburg taking advantage of the SW leading scorer being on the bench ... they looked like they might hit the 50 point mark by the half as the Pirates went 12/12 from the FT line, shot a blistering 73% from the field for the 1st half led by Sword's 13 points in the 2nd qtr - 3 triples, McKenzie dropped his 2nd 3 ball of the game (5 pts in the qtr) ... Clark added 6 points in the qtr/10 for the half ... in all the Burg buried the Jeeps with a 28-10 period ... with Zimmerman on the bench, the Jeeps could muster but 3 fgs in the 2nd ... Carpenter with 6 of the 10 points in the qtr. Zimmerman came in to put up a deuce ... SW looked out of sorts, back on their heels from the onslaught of Pirate scoring ... Wheelersburg 44 South Webster 31 at intermission ... SW needed to find a way to slow down the WHS offense/get some stops/chip away at the Burg lead - the Jeeps did better than slowdown the Pirates - the Pirates end of the court apparently had a lid on the basket as Wheelersburg went "0-for" the period - shooting 0% from the floor, 0% from the line ... nada ... South Webster didn't burn up the nets BUT when the opposition can't find the basket - every point cut into the 13 point lead by WHS ... Will Collins 3 points, Roberts 2, Cam Carpenter a big time 3 ball, along with a deuce & one from Zimmerman drew SW within 2 points as time was running out of the period ... 2 seconds and change on the clock, Zimmerman took a deep three from the left wing as the buzzer sounded - all net ... not only did SW get BACK into the game, they took the lead ... South Webster 45 Wheelersburg 44 after 3 ... Wheelersburg couldn't buy a basket in the 3rd,while SW was on a 14-0 run ... at the 4:56 mark of the 4th the run was 28-7 Jeeps for the 2nd half ... at 2:29 in the 4th the run was 34-7 ... at 1:15 34-9 ... as Sword hit a walk up the court in the final few seconds uncontested toss 3 ball the run was 35-12 - game , set and match ... Zimmerman took over the 4th period dropping15 points on his own ball, Carpenter added 6 pts giving him an outstanding 19 points for the game ... South Webster 66 Wheelersburg 56 a final
