. someone said tonight that the U was playing with house money – the Shermans had already beat ZT at UHS earlier in the season – a win would put the U in the drivers seat to win the SVC , a loss would move the Pioneers into a 2 way tie with Unioto going into the final 4 weeks of the regular season… full house, standing room only tonight … the doors opened an hour BEFORE the freshman contest … when I walked in at 4:15 or so a large portion of the visitor’s bleachers were filled … pfloyd went to the cheap seats – his natural habitat …

… one of the loudest games , if not THE loudest crowd noise I have witnessed this season ! great atmosphere for high school hoops – wow … the game really did not disappoint through 3 quarters of action … one of the best defensive battles I have seen this season by both teams … Unioto 10-7 after one , Unioto 22-20 at intermission … a deep triple at the buzzer put Zane Trace on top 33-31 heading into the final quarter … up to this point the game was no more than a 2 possession game through 3 … the BIGS for ZT were held to just 8 points combined thru 3 … Cam Evans/Colby Swain hit for 13 & 9 respectively thru 3 for ZT … the ZT defense held Unioto to 2 fgs/9 points in the 3rd – Defense … if the 9 points weren’t enough the Pioneers topped the 3rd quarter D by shutting down UHS to only 6 fourth quarter points … 16 points in the 2nd half of play … while the ZT defense put the clamps on the U’s offense Zane Trace put up 13 & 18 for a 31 – 15 2nd half of action scoring margin … leading all scorers was Cam Evans with 26 points/13 in the 4th alone … 7/8 from the FT line in the 4th – 14/16 for the game when on the line for Evans … the difference in the game in the 4th was Nick Nesser in the paint/ on the boards … Nesser battled down low on ZT misses in the 4th – the big man for Trace had the first 3 buckets of the 4th period for the Pioneers all on putback/ offensive boards … the U had no answer for ZT’s bigs in the paint … Zane Trace 51 Unioto 37 a final …

… the Unioto Shermans at 11-3 , 8-1 in SVC action have busted the preseason predictors who had Zane Trace running away from the league followed by Adena … the U was a middle of the pack player … I’ve seen the Shermans twice now – size, quickness, Defense, scorers of the ball from the perimeter, outstanding PG and coaching that brings it all together … EVEN with the loss @ ZT the U is a top 8 in SEO hoops … last night Isaac Little played on an ankle that had him missing 3 games/not practicing for over a week … played on a game time decision – gutsy performance by IL … for 3 quarters D was the answer for Unioto … in that 4th period ZT got too many chances at point blank range in the paint – 3 straight putback buckets by the bigs for ZT (getting 3-4 chances on the offensive boards on those 3 trips) ended the U’s chance of taking 2 from the Pioneers …

Scoring … Cam Evans 26, Nick Nesser 11, Colby Swain 9, Luke Johnson 3, Triton Davidson 2
3 Pointers … 1/10 … Luke Johnson 1 (giving ZT the lead at the end of the 3rd quarter that they never relinquished )
FTs … 16/22 … 15/17 in the 4th/ Evans 14/16 on his own ball for the game/ Evans 7/8 in the 4th

PnP … 14 fgs/28 points in the paint
PnT … 1 fg/2 points in transition
Pbk … 6 fgs/ 12 points on putback buckets – the game changer in the 4th …

… ZT is as good as Cam Evans takes them … last night Evans with 26 points doubled his output from the first meeting with Unioto in a losing effort … CE is most comfortable in the paint, back to the basket where he can back an opponent in then hit a little fadaway, or he takes the ball baseline for a 6-8 foot pullup jumper – he’s good ! limiting his touches, forcing Evans to give up the ball is the goal AND the challenge vs ZT … Coach Kellough & Co. won game #2 of the 2 best in the SVC earning a split and and tie at the top …

Logan 47
Unioto 56 a final…
This one was a game between 2 teams looking for identities … looking to put a signature “W” on the card to set the tone for games to follow … the Purple of Logan started 2 sophs,1 junior and a senior – Myers/Wolfe with limited varsity experience , Mason Frasure/Colten Castle/Nolan Robinette with zero varsity experience … prior to LAST season Coach Hoops and the U had graduated the bulk of their lineup much like the Chiefs THIS season – last season , a rebuilding season for the U, saw the Shermans playing everyone, looking to find lineups that worked/looking to have youngsters take on roles at the varsity levels that would lead to “W” … last night’s contest showed “the difference a year makes” …… the opening quarter of the game was excellent for both TEAMS ! especially the Purple of Logan – as the “young” Chiefs came out looking to be “ready” for the speed, strength needed to play at the varsity level … excellent ball movement, offensive player movement, seeing the floor and getting the ball in the hands of players on the floor where they could be comfortable and score – all 5 LHS starters dented the score book – the Chiefs big man in the middle made it look easy on the blocks scoring 3 fgs down low, Tegan Myers continued where heleft off in scoring the rock vs Lancaster earlier in the week hitting a deuce and a triple (5 pts) … Mason Frasure (pg) did an outstanding job looking the part of ballhandler, distributed the ball well, and got into the paint for 4 points of his own … Nolan Robinette added a FT after being fouled in the paint … an excellent 1st 8 minutes for the Logan boys … for the U? no backing down by the Shermans as THEIR floor general and leading scorer Isaac Little did what he does best – used his quickness and strength to get into the paint keeping the U within eye shot knocking down 4 fgs (his only fgs of the game) 8 points in the opening quarter … only one other starter scored in the qtr for Unioto – Reece Wheeler added 1/2 FTs … what proved to be foreshadowing of things to come the U’s first man off the bench – Cameron DeBord (jr) came off the bench to add 4 points to help the U stay close … Logan 18 Unioto 13 after 1 …
Round 2 (yes a boxing reference) saw both teams turn up the D … BOTH teams seemed more intent on being physical … Logan looked to lose the offensive flow of the 1st quarter … the U looked frustrated with the physical defense of the Chiefs on the perimeter … neither TEAM was able to put together much on the scoreboard … the board showed Logan 21-15 at the 5:19 mark of the 2nd – Logan would score only 7 points in the next 13:19 of the contest … UHS went on a 26-7 run to the end of the 3rd period … Logan 24 Unioto 21 at intermission … Unioto came out of the locker room – focused on defense, determined on offense … Offensively Logan was held to 3 points in quarter more importantly with the game turning more physical/more fouls being called both ways, Logan was unable to get it done from the FT line – going 1/6 from the charity stripe in the 3rd … while the Chiefs were unable to put it together offensively, the U hit for 18 points in the 3rd … starting out going into the paint for buckets by Reese Wheeler (6 pts) including a transition dunk for 2 … as Logan was unable to capitalize at the Free Throw line , the Shermans went 6/6 in the 3rd period … Cameron DeBord continued to make his presence felt defensively he added a triple and 2 FTs in the third along with a trey by Josh Lambert the period ended with Unioto at 39 Logan 27 end of 3 … the final quarter started with each team trading buckets to 5:23 mark on the clock when Nolan Robinette (6) drained back to back triples … Colten Castle climbed on the momentum wagon adding a trey , a deuce and 2 FTs (7 pts) at 1:58 to play the Chiefs had closed to 42-48 … the U offense was held to 3 fgs in the 4th BUT the floor leader – Isaac Little – was put on the line for 10 FTs in the period nailing 9 which ended up being the difference in the game – the FT line – Logan in the 4th going 6/11 in the quarter Unioto 12/14 down the stretch … the U’s final 8 points were from the line …

… for about 11 minutes in the first 2 quarters the Chiefs looked like a complete team – offensively getting points from everyone on the floor, defensively using the quickness on the perimeter – Frasure/Myers/Castle to harass on the perimeter and help in the paint – LHS looked outstanding … with a group of youngsters at times you will run into dry spells offensively – finding that go to guy who will get a bucket when needed most will come … for the game Logan showed the ability to have balanced scoring – 5 players show the ability to be double digit scorers … Chiefs left the U 1-1 but left with a whole lot of upside for a group of talented youngsters …

… the MORE experienced varsity TEAM got the W last night – when the game got away from being a game due to the physicality/chippy-ness the experience paid off as the U didn’t lose focus/at the beginning of the 3rd quarter it seemed that the chippy/physical play made the U MORE focused/MORE determined which led to the 26-7 run that put the U in control … the U still needs that consistent perimeter shooter but Coach Hoops has the ability to call on 9 deep – the positive coming from playing big numbers last year in the U’s rebuilding season … Zane Trace and Adena MAY be the teams to beat in the SVC this season but don’t sleep on a good Unioto squad …
