<p>The Pirates jumped all over the Greyhounds and never looked back. Belfry was running offense like a well oiled machine already and had several easy looks off their continuity motion in the half court. [player_tooltip player_id='2121733' first='Brody' last='Little'] led the charge for Belfry but they had multiple players who really excelled in the big win. Paris has some intriguing players with Freshman [player_tooltip player_id='3068503' first='Brayden' last='Strait'] and a 7 footer named Tyler who offers some rim protection but is pretty raw. The biggest impression left in this game was how advanced Belfry looks already and that they had a crazy amount of energy on the bench for the entire game.</p>

<p>Wesley Christian made a rare appearance against a KHSAA opponent and gave Bryan Station everything they wanted. It was [player_tooltip player_id='1565985' first='Amari' last='Owens'] making a corner three that decided the game but the energy level was very high for the entire game. The Defenders battled back from an early deficit behind Owens, [player_tooltip player_id='2317259' first='Taeshawn' last='Adams'] and a couple of players who are not on the KHSAA roster right now. Wesley has a lot of size and shooting and were a formidable opponent for Station in a game that went down to the wire.</p>

<p>The Bulldogs had a strong showing while creating a ton of turnovers and scoring in transition. Senior [player_tooltip player_id='1874791' first='Cage' last='Taylor'] scored 13 straight to start the game while Tay Blevins chipped in double figures as well. Another Senior, Landen Egner also scored in double figures. Iroquois was led by Charles Thomas with 5 points and had a very balanced attack overall.</p>
