Defense keys Greencastle win over BC
NASHVILLE — Greencastle used a 10-4 advantage in the second quarter to break open a close game and go on to a 55-42 win over Brown County on Friday night to claim 11th place in the Western Indiana Conference boys’ basketball standings.
“We played really well defensively and it was a great overall team effort,” Greencastle coach Bryce Rector said. “We did a great job of keeping the ball out of the paint, and we were excellent on the glass. Gavin [Bollman] finished with 10 rebounds and did a good job cleaning up possessions for us.”
Colin York led the Tiger Cubs with 24 points, while Nick Costin added 15 and Bollman had 12.
“Offensively, we moved the ball well and had some players step up and hit shots,” Rector said. “We felt that Colin did a great job of letting the game come to him tonight and Nick and Gavin finished well around the rim.”
The Tiger Cubs led 14-12 after one quarter, 24-16 at halftime and 37-26 after three quarters.
“It was a good road win for our guys,” Rector said. “We came out ready to compete and got the job done.”
