KR-Central opening game ugly
SPRINGFIELD — Before Randon McNeil’s bucket with 2:01 remaining in the first quarter, one had to wonder if KR was ever going to score in its game against Catholic Central on Friday, Dec. 5 at a packed Jason Collier Gymnasium.
The same goes for the Irish, who led 2-0 to start the game, but never led again.
It was simply ugly. The first six minutes of the game saw bricks, fouls, missed layups, turnovers, double dribbles, traveling calls, loose balls, bad passes and more missed layups on opening night. The team’s combined for 11 points in the first quarter — with eight going to KR in the final two minutes.
But once the dust settled the team’s fought hard. KR outscored Catholic Central 18-10 to pull out a 58-49 victory. The led by as many as 17, but Central never went away pulling to within eight points late in the fourth quarter.
“(Central) never died,” said KR coach Kris Spriggs. “They came back firing and created some turnovers.”
