I hope that you aren't insisting that Warren ran up the score ... They could have put 120+ on the board if they wanted to (I am not trying to knock Gallia Academy - I have coached players on that team, and I have a lot of respect for them and their families). But being realistic, Warren's starters barely played in the third quarter (almost none with the Big 3 together) and they didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. Blane Maddox is a class individual and would not "run it up". Also, Warren will beat Portsmouth by double figures this time around.
