Lebanon defeated Wilson Central 45-40 tonight.

 

In case you can't tell from the score, this wasn't some great defensive struggle. It was just ugly. Lots of fouling, turnovers, and God only knows how many missed shots. The Devils just played well enough to win. Brian Henderson had a strong post presence tonight. Payne was pretty quiet with the exception of two FTs that iced it.

 

Central has some size but appears to be somewhat down this year.

 

Tough to gauge LHS from this game, but I know they'll need to tighten up if they want to compete in this district. Luckily, Keil is the man to do the tightening.

Wow i cant believe Leb only won by that....I would have to say i expected a lot more out of Leb...WC is having what is supposed to be a very very down year....i mean you have to when you lose 9 srs....Leb will have to play a lot better if they want to go to the Glass House

This game was definitely not a good game for either team, but Lebanon was able to pull out a win in the final minute. Hancock and Payne came up big at the free throw line.

 

Not much more can be said. The Blackman game this Friday will hopefully be a good way for Lebanon to clean up their play and show what they can accomplish.

What rank was WC in their pre-season district poll?

The Blue Devil crowd was the loudest it has ever been according to principals that have been around a while. Payne led all scorers with 12 and the Lebanon defense played great. The crowd was unbelievable.

I will tell you that yrs back, I would look forward to the OHS/ LHS basketball games. Watching the game was always great....so much talent and two great coaches going at it . But the most fun to me was the crowd-watching. I don't think anyone could rival those two cheering sections in those days. EVERYONE went to the games back then. And the cheering sections would go at it tooth and nail.......ahhhhh great times. i hope we can get them back...that was a great rivalry.

Doesnt hurt any that Lebanon's lil cracker box gym can get louder a little bit more easily than most gyms. Nonetheless, kudos for Lebanon on a big win, they have certainly played well up to this point to have a unbeaten record. Have a good head coach in Doug Keil doesnt hurt either
