67-56 final score -
Generals win by 11 over Quakers, who led at no time in play since the opening points of the game.

Props go out to W&L's young tarheels who were the leading scorers at Guilford's Alumni gym, close to their hometowns. Bolton had a double-double; 16 points, 11 RBs and Ingram with 18pts, 7RB, 5 assists. Ridenhour had 11 pts and 5 assists. W&L were +14 on the glass, out-rebounding the Quakers 43-29. Herman had a game-high 14 boards in just 20 mins of play.

Next: 3 games next week: VWC -Tuesday, Lynchburg -Friday and Randolph -Saturday.

tarheels?

dukeofargyle · January 30, 2009, 10:49:06 PM

Yep; both freshmen are from N.C.

Meg Ingram is from Greensboro, N.C. and Becca Bolton is from nearby Pittsboro, N.C.

Congratulations bballmom4 for your Emory and Henry pick. Lynchburg just can't seem to get it together. Good win for the Wasps. What does everyone think will happen in Bridgewater today?

Let's go with Blue Devils or Demon Deacons, anything but tarheels.

Yes, those 2 freshmen had good games - but it was a group effort. Much better results from the entire team.

Bridgewater was in the game against RMC. According to Jean Willi's after game chat, the starting line up will be different for the next game. I admire a coach who rewards effort. Her starters aren't giving her what Bridgewater needs - so Willi is willing to adjust. Good coaching.

I would say so, they started off with a rush going up 20-4 to get things going. RMC led all of the 2nd half after after going up with the first basket to start the half, but BC got within 4 or 5 points late. If Burkholder hadn't had to sit so much for foul trouble, it could have been a different story.

Lots of tough games to go still.

Yes, Bridgewater did let the game get away. The Eagles have struggled with consistency and being without their floor general compounded the problem.

Well, I understand your point, but technically all North Carolinians are Tarheels whether they root for UNC or not ... so dukeofargyle was right.

I guess an Oklahoma State Cowboy being called a Sooner might feel the same way!

I was at the game, which was played in Ragan-Brown Field House. Cozy Alumni Gym, built in 1940, is next door and hasn't been used for intercollegiate athletics since 1980. Since they're attached, it's easy to see the Alumni Gym sign and not realize you're actually going to the much more modern and significantly larger Ragan-Brown Field House through the adjacent entrance.

Wow! Thanks for both clarifications, hasanova. (Sorry for the gym name mixup, Guilford fans.)

In addition - being a Duke fan myself, I can appreciate your sentiment, Bammer.

Not a problem, dukeofargyle. NC's technically The Tarheel State, so the Wolfpack, the Demon Deacons and the Blue Devils will just have to live with it!

Don't worry about the gym mix-up ... it happens all the time. I'm old enough that I actually attended games in Alumni Gym before Ragan-Brown opened in 1980. In fact, the Quakers once played the Generals men there while I was a student!
