Game 60
(1/13/10)
North Fulton vs. Elmwood (Boy's Basketball)
Inter-County Conference Tournament (@ Cuba)
Final game of the night, and I had to switch to my third scorebook of the year for this one. A pretty light crowd on the Wildcats home floor for their matchup against the Elmwood Trojans. Both of these teams are also members of the Prairieland Conference.
North Fulton enters with a (6-7) record, while Elmwood brings in a (8-7) mark. The Trojans jumped out and gave the Wildcats fits early on, leading 13-0 in the first quarter. The first basket for the Wildcats didn't come until the 2:48 mark in the first quarter when Brandon Shaw made a free throw. Shawn Norville hit a three-pointer with 0:22 left in the frame to give the team their first field goal. Elmwood hit four three-pointers in the first quarter, a pair by Isaac Ramsey, and led 16-4 after the first quarter.
More of the same in the second quarter, with the Trojans outscoring the Wildcats 20-7. Elmwood led 36-11 at halftime. Cody Landau knocked down a couple three-pointers in the second quarter and had 11 points at the break.
At the end of the third quarter, three Trojans hit double-digits in scoring (Landau, Nick Almasi, and Jake Hammond). For some reason, I kept calling Nick Almasi, Tony, during the broadcast. For listeners, they probably thought there were two Almasi's playing. My apologies.
It was a slow fourth quarter with Elmwood taking a comfortable lead, and would be victorious 61-39. (6'7") junior Max Schelkopf scored a game-high 13 points for Elmwood. He was joined in double figures by Cody Landau and Nick Almasi with 11 points each, and Jake Hammond with 10 points. North Fulton got 12 points from Shawn Norville and Beriah Quick with 11 points.
A quick wrap up after the game, and I was finished for the night. After a thousand trips this way, it was an easy trip back to Macomb, lol.
