Gym was nearly full last night. Terrific atmosphere for a high school basketball game. Greenup looked like they won the battle on the boards to me. Good to see the musketeers even up the series against Russell. Last time Trey Williams didn't play at Russell. I'd say he makes a difference. I did see Russell's coach get very upset at something after a timeout late in the 4th I believe. Someone sitting next to me said that Trey slapped a Russell player on the way to the bench. I didn't see it, just what he said. If true, that's uncalled for.

Trey Williams definitely makes a difference. He's a good player who has the potential to be far better.

I don't think he slapped a Russell player. It looked like Williams got caught up in the middle of Russell's bench as he was headed back to Greenup's bench after a timeout was called. Russell's players were celebrating at the time and Williams sort of pushed his way out of the huddle. I didn't think it was a big deal. Just something else to add fuel to fire of the rivalry.

Hampton and Davidson played very physical underneath the whole game. It takes a good officiating crew to handle this game anymore and I thought the officials did a good job. As I said, I'm glad these 2 teams still dislike each other. It's fun to watch a game where everyone including the players, fans, and students appear to care about the result.
