When it came to Tuesday night’s battle between the Waldron Jr Bulldogs and the Danville Jr Little Johns, defense was the name of the game. The Jr Bulldogs wanted to have a good showing against Danville and by the end of the night, although they didn’t net the 39-28 win, they didn’t go down without causing a little chaos first either. Waldron has hit a few snags this season but with a roster full of potential, once they figure out how to get over the back and forth mental slump, they’ll be chewing up opponents right and left!
The Jr Bulldogs scored 22 rebounds, 12 steals, and 25 deflections in their game against Danville. Offensively and defensively the Little Johns could immediately tell that the Legion of Doom tag-team partnership of Chris Lopez and Kason Davis was something they didn’t want to mess with. This brute force put up 10 points apiece and led in rebounding while sending their opponents running for the hills. Rounding out the scoreboard with a combined 8 points was Scout Young, Kaden Rogers, and Logan Young who channeled their inner Three Muskateers and sword fought the Little Johns up and down the hardwood.
Tonight, January 28, Waldron will travel to Hackett for their second round of conference play. In their first tussle, the Jr Bulldogs won 31-26. “We are trying to finish the season on a high note and leave Hackett tonight with a win,” stated Coach Josh Atchley. “We will be a little low on numbers but these guys are hungry to continue to compete.” The Jr Bulldogs sit with a 6-8 season record while the Jr Hornets are 9-8.
