Call them the ‘Killer Bs’ – Huey Blalock, Reed Burrell, and Michael Bone. That trio combined for 57 points in an 81-48 thrashing for #3 Rabun County (14-3; 4-0 in 8-A DI) at #10 Banks County (8-7; 3-1) Tuesday night.
The Wildcats, true to form, got hot from long range. Rabun connected on 11 deep shots, while Banks County had eight behind a big night from Kolby Watson.
The first quarter saw Watson score eight points (including a couple trays), as both teams combined for six 3-pointers in the opening stanza. Rabun held a slim 15-13 lead after that quarter.
The second saw Bone catch fire, as did Burrell. Watson had 14 points by halftime, while Burrell had 12 (all on 3-pointers). The Wildcats increased the advantage to 32-23.
They didn’t miss a beat in the third as Burrell continued to bury shots from downtown. Rabun County was up 21 heading into the final period, and Blalock had 16 of his 18 total points in the second half.
Rabun was paced by Burrell’s game-high 24 points, complete with six trifectas. Blalock closed shop with 18, Bone had 15, and Hayes Free added a dozen. Chase Alonso and Colton Crane had three apiece, while Khani Thompson, Landan Bedingfield, and Hayden Cannon all had two each.
