Nanticoke and GAR both came into this game undefeated in league play as they played Friday night in Nanticoke. The first quarter ended with Nanticoke leading GAR by 1, 9-8. Nanticoke would continue to lead at halftime 17-15 with the help of Scott Stout's 6 points and Brent Pionkowski's 7. GAR would cut the lead to 3 at 23-20 but back to back 3s for Nanticoke would increase the lead to 9 after 3, 29-20. Nanticoke would hold on to win 51-30. Brent Piontkowski lead all scorers with 23 points for Nanticoke. Scott Stout added 17 for the Trojans. For GAR, Dajon Rush had 12, followed by Justin Crosby-Smith with 9.
Thoughts: the first thing I will mention about tonight is the atmosphere of the game, student section was into it all game and it was close to full capacity at Nanticoke Area High School. There was recognition of the 1961 Nanticoke Rams team who won the Class A State Title. To the game, Nanticoke played very well, they had no threes in the first half, went inside for the most part, but in the second, hit a majority of their threes and it turned a two point game at halftime into an 11-point victory.
