<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>PICTURED: [player_tooltip player_id='2677405' first='Cole' last='Campbell']</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Through a series of steals and deflections, Summertown destroyed hosting Perry County, 88-45. Player of the Game honors should have been handed out at the half, as <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2677420' first='Lleyton' last='Sherman']</strong> made a career-high number of three-pointers just in the game's first 16 minutes alone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lleyton finished with 30 points on 9 made three-pointers. [player_tooltip player_id='2622565' first='Kurt' last='Burleson'] scored 14 points in three quarters of action. All SHS starters sat through the fourth quarter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summertown captured the early lead, 21-8, by hectoring the hosts all over the floor. Perry County's point guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2289232' first='Colton' last='Pevahouse'] </strong>did not take care of the ball, and the Eagles clawed the orange away multiple times. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2622565' first='Kurt' last='Burleson']</strong> established the paint midway through the first and then the Eagles attacked from the sky, hitting a half dozen three-pointers seemingly without a breath in-between. [player_tooltip player_id='2677420' first='Lleyton' last='Sherman'] scored 15 points in the opening quarter all by himself! He finished the first half with eight made 3's and the team scored 46 before returning to the locker room halfway home.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Viking <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2418543' first='Landon' last='Warren']</strong> was wonderful in the opening quarter, collecting rebounds and scoring inside 10'. Senior<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2677405' first='Cole' last='Campbell']</strong> was Summertown's best rebounder early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Midway through the second quarter SHS owned a commanding lead of 37-17.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Second Half Comeback Attempt</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2H is underway. Perry County is playing better. They decided to put [player_tooltip player_id='2418543' first='Landon' last='Warren'] out high as the point guard, which forces SHS to trap with a big instead of 2 guards. The calculation worked the first minute+. Perry County leads this quarter's effort 2-0. 47-31 SHS leads.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2418543' first='Landon' last='Warren'] and Pevahouse played much better in the third quarter. Pevahouse controlled tempo better and did not turn the ball over all while getting into the lane. Landon consistently made positive touches on the ball. His team was too far behind to lean exclusively on his shoulders, but their strategy going forward needs to be find the sophomores early and let them cook.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It ended in a technical foul as the junior varsity players battled in the final minute of a blowout varsity game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">District 11</span></strong><br>Collinwood<br>Frank Hughes<br><em>Perry County</em><br>Wayne County</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">District 10</span></strong><br><em>Summertown</em><br>Loretto<br>Mt.
