Freshmen roll over Westwood
Ten of the 11 Pioneers who saw action scored, led by Warren Swann, who posted 18 points in the first half before sitting out much of the second half.
Swann was an unstoppable force early, scoring a dozen points in the first quarter as WCHS opened up a 19-7 lead. Westwood couldn’t find a way around the tough Pioneer defense in the first half, which ended with Warren County holding a comfortable 36-15 edge.
The Pioneers took their game to the outside in the third quarter, as Terrin Martin hit a pair of 3-pointers and Josh Judkins added another to help their team to a 59-25 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Judkins and Isaac Slatton finished with 11 points each in the win, while Ricky Curtis had 10 and Martin added nine. Shay Glenn posted four, Brandon Adcock had three, and three Pioneers — Jonathan Creek, Dustin Couch and Daniel Verdel — netted two each.
Samuel Marcrom had 14 to lead Westwood, while Zach Miller scored 10.
• Monday’s victory was the second straight lopsided win for the Pioneer freshmen, who took care of business in Lebanon Saturday night, downing the Blue Devils 55-36. Warren County had three players reach double digits in that game.
Six players hit the score book for Warren County in the first period, combining for 20 points in the quarter. Defense played a big role in the Pioneers’ nine-point lead by the end of the period. Warren County’s full-court pressure created several turnovers by the Blue Devils resulting in points on the board for the Pioneers.
In the second half the only points Warren County would put on the board came from the foul line. Lebanon sent the Pioneers to the line eight times with Warren County coming away with just five points in the period. Lebanon managed nine points, with three of those coming from the line. By the half Warren County held a 25-20 lead.
In the second half Warren County went to work on both the offensive and defensive boards. The Pioneers allowed nine points by the Blue Devils while pouring in 14 of their own with Swann hitting for seven.
In the final period Adcock put in 10 of the Pioneers’ 16 points. Lebanon struggled from the field as only seven points entered the Blue Devils column.
