Eagles Struggle Early as Pioneers Complete Sweep

Posted

It was another rough outing for the Shelbyville Central Golden Eagles as they fell on the road to the Warren County Pioneers, 69-46, on Tuesday night.

The Eagles struggled on both ends of the court, and on offense they only had two players reach double-digit. Jack Conditt and Kyler Trice scored 11 and 10 points respectively, but they were no match for the hosts’ offensive and defensive plan of attack.

Treyton Terry scored a game-high 26 points for Warren County with 18 of those coming in the first half. Alex Van Vuuren joined him in double figures as he chipped in 10 points.

Terry and Van Vuuren would combine for 17 of the Pioneers 20 first quarter points as Warren County raced out to a 20-10 lead.

The visitors would not be able to cut into the lead at all in the second quarter and were outscored 15-8, going into the halftime locker room trailing 35-18.

Unfortunately for Shelbyville, the second half would only continue to get worse. The Pioneers continued to make offense tough for the Eagles while also doing just enough on offense to extend their lead. Thus, the home side would go into the final frame up 52-27, and by then the end result was a formality.

The Pioneers closed out the home district rematch with ease, winning by 23 points, and sending the Eagles back to Shelbyville still searching for their first district win of the season.

Warren County improves to 12-10 (6-1) and will continue their homestand as they welcome Columbia for another district clash on Friday.

Shelbyville Central falls to 4-16 (0-4) and and will look to pick up their first win in district play in Spring Hill on Thursday night, LIVE on WLIJ 98.7 and AM 1580 starting at 5:45 p.m.
