Tippecanoe at West Carrollton

Final Score
Tippecanoe 60
West Carrollton 35

Tippecanoe made the trip down I-75 South for a rematch with West Carrollton on Friday night. The Red Devils had defeated West Carrollton almost a month prior 50-37 where they had a sound defensive outing.
 
Defense was not a theme of the 1st half. Tipp knocked down several 3PTs to start the game and jump out to an early lead. West Carrollton would respond with scores of their own and tried to use their size to their advantage. The game started off close with Tippecanoe leading 14-12 after 1 quarter. The 2nd quarter was much of the same with both teams trading blows and Tipp leading 25-21 at the half.
 
Come the 3rd quarter, the game shifted. Tipp’s defense got tighter and limited West Carrollton’s opportunities. The Pirates were held to 3 points total and weren’t getting great looks. Tipp’s Jackson Smith (Sr) was an animal on the glass, picking up nearly every offensive rebound he could and Tipp extended the lead out 38-24 at the end of 3. The final quarter continued to be all Tipp as they put away the Pirates 60-35 for a season sweep. Smith finished with a double-double with 20 points and 14 rebounds.
