It was a
tough start for West Central Conference teams on the hardwood. The league went
just 1-7 in games played during the opening week. The only victory belonged to
the Monrovia Bulldogs who kept possession of the coveted “Powder Keg” by
thrashing Eminence 85-65.
South Putnam
and Cloverdale had the toughest weeks of all conference teams. The Eagles fell
on Wednesday night to Turkey Run 59-44 and then succumbed to Edgewood 70-36 on
Saturday night. Meanwhile, Cloverdale fell to Covenant Christian 72-60 Friday
night and then lost a heartbreaker to Riverton Parke Saturday 66-63.
In other
action, North Putnam lost their opener to Southmont 68-42 Wednesday night. Also
on Wednesday, Cascade fell to a very good Plainfield team 82-59 and
Crawfordsville downed Greencastle 51-39.
Action this
week is highlighted by the Putnam County Tournament on Friday and Saturday
evenings. Also, conference play will begin on Friday night when Monrovia visits
Cascade. That is part of a very difficult weekend for the Bulldogs who return
home on Saturday to face a tough Danville team.
