[Westside]

With WPRG running the finals last week. I made the drive over two mountains for the split session of games. Elkhorn City 67 Betsy Layne 60. Tyler Baliff 26 points and Todd Conley 25 points led Randy McCoy team. Duran Newsome 24 points and Philip King 18 points for Junior Newsome. A young Joey Thacker for Elkhorn City in final game made a nice play in tapping the basketball back to a teammate in final minute but his shot wouldn:t fall. Joey sucess at Franklin County and his talented wife who i saw play at Millard. I got in line at the gym door where Paul May coach/official was holding the door after first game. People in front were talking football and he was late opening the door. Belfry 85 Shelby Valley 83 OT. Chad Bowling a talented guard scored 28 points, Jeremy Johnson 14 and tough center and underated player Bobby Keyes scored 12 points. John Paul Williamson 26 points lifted Belfry to the overtime win.

Duran Newsome had graduated a couple season before this game was played. More than likely it was Adam Gearheart who led the Bobcats in scoring on this night.
