An uptempo game from the start, a tight game early, a Tipton run had them up 21-11, but Oak Hill cut it to two before the end of the first. The Eagles took a five point lead into halftime, a tough final minute of the half for Tipton.
The second half was all Oak Hill.
- The big names delivered for each team.
- Landon Biegel finished with 32 points for Oak Hill, showed off his range, drove close outs and was a presence on the offensive glass, all while dishing out 4 or 5 assists.
- Tipton sophomore Nolan Swan was more productive in the first half than the second, but the 6’0″ point guard finished with 24 points. Excellent shot mechanics and a pretty quick release, he shot it well off the pass and was able to get into shots off the dribble. Excellent passer!
- As much attention as Biegel soaks up for Oak Hill, Caleb Krull got off to a hot start keeping Oak Hill in the game. Krull moved well without the ball, getting open in the paint.
- Ty Fagan, 6’7″ sophomore center, pulled his first start of the season for Oak Hill. He scored their first six points, was active on the glass and came away with a couple of loose balls.
- While I’m sure he’ll feel he could’ve played better, Tipton’s Grady Carpenter put on a passing show, especially in transition. The 6’4″ freshman serves as Tipton’s point guard, and his eyes are always scanning the floor. Attacking diagonally in transition, hitting a rim run or two. He was equally effective in the half court.
- He was able to get free for a couple of 3’s, and his shot mechanics looked good. The kid has a chance.
