Classic in the Country X updates, SATURDAY
#1
Posted 19 January 2013 - 09:40 AM
I am LIVE from Berlin Hiland's Reese Center for the 10th edition of the basketball spectacular known as the Classic in the Country! There is a pretty good crowd for this opener between the Orrville Red Riders and the Reedsville Eastern Lady Eagles.
Today's games are stacked top to bottom as we'll see the top team in Division 4, the top team in Division 3, the top two teams in Division 2, and the biggest matchup of the day - the top team in Division 1 and #6 nationally, Kettering Fairmont take on the top team in Colorado and #12 nationally, Regis Jesuit. As a friendly reminder, the game between Fairmont and Jesuit has been ranked as the best game in the country this entire Martin Luther King Jr. weekend by Maxpreps.
Sit back and relax as Rocketcorner staff bring you the sights, sounds, updates, game recaps, box scores, and mostly important, food updates from Classic in the Country X.
If you have any questions or requests, please let us know and we'll give you the best information we can.

Orrville makes 1-of-2 from the line. Orrville shows full-court pressure and Eastern turns it over. Orrville turnover and Burdette finds Swatzel under the basket for a score. Swatzel with eight of Eastern's 10 points. After an Orrville missed 3-pointer, Burdette misses a bunny and then commits her second foul!

We get a little bit of Flo-rida's "I Got A Feeling" as our mid-quarter music and of course, small goodies from sponser Under Armour.
Davault hits a 3-pointer to open the quarter for Orrville but Eastern responds.

Devault rebound on another Eastern missed shot, and that will put Orrville in the bonus.

Going for a steal, Plybon goes flying into the Eastern bench, tripping over a chair but she's okay. Eastern turnover but Orrville throws it out and bounds. Eastern gets down the court but misses to end the half!
Orrville: 43
Reedsville Eastern: 25

Plybon leads Orrville with 17 points and we have "interesting" halftime entertainment.

Orrville starts the third quarter off just like they ended the first half but Burdette of Eastern responds. She has nine points today.
