I only have individual stats for Valley and Landon Slone.

Logan Bryant had 12 points and 3 steals.
Jonah Justice had 11 points and 6 rebounds.
Curby Tackett had 7 points and 4 rebounds.
Ashley Hatfield had 3 points and 2 rebounds (in very limited playing time due to foul trouble).
Tyler Newsome had 3 points.
Cody Varney had 3 points.

Unofficially I had Landon with 15 points, 13 rebounds (may have missed one or two, but not sure how I missed 5), 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Landon is the type of player who just wins. His game tonight reminded me of Daniel Harmon in the Dorton/Virgie grade school rivalry (when they don't have great games, they find a way to make the big plays to win the game).

I thought Grimm was the difference in the game.

Anyone who watched this game and claims one team is definitely better than the other, and would win virtually everytime, has no clue.

I thought the sportsmanship during and after this game was great! That's as much a part of the game as the game itself is.
