Warren 48 Whitehall 47

Warren Warriors get a good victory against Whitehall at Marietta College. Game was a low scoring affair through 3 quarters. Warren played zone to try and counter Whitehall's quickness and force them to make outside shots. Strategy worked for a long time and Warren led 31-24 at end of 3. In the fourth, Whitehall started hitting 3's (making at least 4 in the period) and actually took a late one point lead with around 2 minutes remaining. Warren hit a 3 and then a 2 to go up 4. Whitehall got it back to one with a 3 pter themselves. Warren was able to hit a free throw providing a 2 point cushion. Whitehall then got fouled with just under a second remaining while trying to put in a missed shot. First free throw was good getting them to within one. After a Warren timeout, second free throw missed and Warren notched the victory. Warren was led by Seth Dennis with 15 points and 6 steals; Noah Nichols with 14 pts and 6 boards; Austin Barta with 6 pts and 6 boards; Clay Miller 6 pts, 5 boards, and 3 assists; Bryce Knost with 4 points and a huge put back basket to end the first half; and Brandon Simoniette with 3 points. Whitehall used their pressure defense all evening in a variety of full court man to man, trapping half court zone, run and jump etc. For the most part, Warren did a good job handling the pressure and played a very solid game.

Looking at the box scores for Whitehall at the Marietta College Classic, I see Roshean Bagley not listed as scoring in either game. He is Whitehall's best player so I wondered if he did not play or was held scoreless both games. Holding him scoreless for 2 games would be surprising. Also they have a guy last name Blacksheer and do not see him listed as scoring. He also is usually a point scorer for Whitehall. Anybody at those game have any information?

When I 1st saw him play I said to myself “Michael warren” all over again. Guess we won’t know. Not sure what happened, but seems a shame to waste God given talent like that.
