Todd’s Connor Holder was able to make a few threes of his own and lead the Rebels to 18 points in the quarter, but it was not enough to compete with the hot start from Fayette.
But then Todd County were the ones with the impressive quarter in the second, scoring 22 points and cutting the lead to just five. A big reason for their big quarter was the nine points from John Ross Cardwell in the period.
They were then able to follow it up with a 20-point performance in the third quarter, which gave them a two point lead going into the fourth.
The two teams then scored the same amount of points in the fourth quarter, which meant that it was the Rebels coming out on top in a close 74-72 game. Jayden Glass was able to score just under half of Todd’s points in the quarter with six.
