East's RJ Leppert plays harder then anyone
and helps lead a very good Thunderhawk team.

Another night of exciting action with some close games and some unexpected results. In what appears to be the best game of this early season Lakota East defeated Princeton thanks to a furious fourth quarter comeback to win their opener. East's seniors are going to make this a great year for their team, even more so as Allante Foster comes along and Mark Minch gets healthy. The other big game tonight, Winton Woods at Roger Bacon, went to Winton Woods who won by a shocking 25 points thanks to Semaj Christon and Dennis Thomas.


Middletown 77 Walnut Hills 49 - Jaihlen Teague and Geovonie McKnight both scored in double digits. As did sophomore guard Kyree Burton for Walnut.

Winton Woods 78 Roger Bacon 53 - Can't believe this score or the margin but it's true. Dennis Thomas hit 7 three's and finished with a unbelievable 33 points for the Warriors. Semaj Christon had 16 for Winton Woods, and Paul Byrd had another big night with 18 for Bacon. Senior big Jared Bryant only saw limited action for Bacon due to a knee injury.
