Fulton @ Bearden

[dirtydawg15]

Great game tonight at Bearden. Bulldogs won in OT 67-60. I would love to see a 7 game series between these two teams. Fulton was up 7 at halftime and 14 at one point in the 2nd half. Bearden battled back behind Trent Stephney. I was very impressed with #14 for Fulton, Lacy. He brought it on D, handled pressure, made plays on offense when he needed to. Anybody else there?

I was there. Bearden has a habit of starting off slow, regardless of of who they play most of the time. I guess they need to be pushed. Very physical game as well. The refs were really trying to take control over the game, a few technical fouls for celebration/taunting and there seems to a fair share of offensive fouls. Ques hit some key shots down the stretch, as did Trent. Fulton lacks size, but didn't seem to matter since Pember (6'8") was sidelined with fouls and Ketterl (6'7") didn't start and play too much. Those guys are shot blocking machines.

I thought halfway through the game what a bad matchup it was for Bearden ... a team just as quick or quicker and not intimidated at all by Bearden.   And I thought the press and 4th Q wouldn't work for Bearden, but I was wrong.  They live and die by Glover and Stephney, and shots weren't falling in 1st half, but they sure were in 2nd.  I think Shemarcus for Bearden did a ton of good work for Bearden as did #44 for Fulton when he wasn't in foul trouble.  Sloppy play but great high intensity game.  Really fun game to watch and good crowd from both sides.

Agree, Shemarcus is toughest around the boards and blocks a lot of shots as well
