Game lived up to expectations. It was obvious which was the best "team" from the beginning. Valley was able to keep it within 5 or so in the first quarter but what took the momentum and put the Wildcats in such an early hole was the 14 point lead that the Bobcats kept for most of the second period. Personally I think that Valley won the second half and had more energy but by the time they had crawled back to within one point they had no more to give. Multiple missed bunny shots and layups plagued their finale to the comeback and allowed for a 8 point lead to suffice for BL to hold them off in the last couple mintutes.

The Bobcats were faster and seemed to get more of those "all important" 50-50 balls that can shift momentum either way. They should and will be one of the top 3 teams in the region. As for Valley, I can say that I was really proud of their effort and how far they are starting to come. As soon as they can get the right consistency from the multiple freshmen: Richardson, Newsome, Maldanado, and Hamilton- they will be fine! But as of right now, they still take their growing pains in spurts.

Congrats Bobcats and their fans!! Represent us well downstate!

is he back?
