This game was a lot closer at the beginning than I thought it would be... but then again.. any East Ridge /Valley game will be closer than talent or records may show.. or anyone could accuaratley predict for that matter. Valley was able to pull out the W by a more comfortable margin in the 4th, after a few turnovers gave them some solid momentum for the first time of the night. Goodson played a big role in gaining the momentum, and is a very exciting player to watch. Jacob Bryant and Jonah Justice both had great games. Valley could nto seem to make a 3-ball, and seemed to have trouble making any field goal in the first half. East Ridge's size was something that really hurt Valley tonight, but Valley's depth made up for it.
And did anyone else think the calls seemed one sided tonight... not saying they were bad calls, just that I believe at one point Valley had 6 fouls and ER only 1. I tihnk it was a very sloppy game at times that the wildcats can and must learn from.
