The two losses came while eleven of the Hornets were still playing football. Talk about using your bench early! With Tallnall leading 9-7, Lance Bryant scored back to back baskets to give Westfield an 11-9 lead, and after a Matt Shepley basket made it 13-11, Ben Hulbert hit a buzzer-beaer for two to end the quarter with Westfield on top 15-11. The boys must have been watching the girls game, because, like the Lady Hornets, the Hornets went cold in the second quarter and Tattnall sued the lapse to take a 30- 25 halftime lead. Westfield got just three points in the quarter from starters as Hulbert, Bryant and Travis Baird accounted for most of the points in the period. Westfield's Brian Nash took charge of the game in the third quarter, scoring eight straight Westfield points as the Hornets crept back into the game. Then with 41 seconds left in the third, Jake Walls hit two free throws then a two pointer to take the lead before Ronnie Hilderbrand hit a long three pointer to give Tattnall the lead //////'// 7 7 • / 7 7 / / 7 Auto PartsK Ls&jind Solution Mufflers / Reg. to 24.99 jHA Wearever Brake Shoes v HBS« ■B IV Reg.

But die fourth quarter belonged to Westfield as the Hornets used their diree guard offense effectively over die slower Trojans. With just under seven minutes left in die game, Todd Rigdon got a Westfield basket to give his team the lead at 47-46, dien a Walls diree-pointer made ti 50-46. The game stayed that way until the Hornets got the ball on a Gregy Taylor travel with 1:57 left. And no, I've never seen so many traveling calls as the officials made in diis tame. With Tattnall pressing and fouling, the Hornets then cashed in at the foul line as Matt Shepley, Ben Hulbert and Jake Walls converted nine of ten over die final 52 seconds of the game. Coach Jim Massey said "diat’s what we need to win. Key baskets and free throws." Walls led four Hornets in double figures, with 17 points. Shepley had 12. while Hulbert and Nash had ten each. Westfield also got key baskets by Latwon Pearson and Lance Bryant. Greg Taylor was die only Trojan in double figures, scoring 13 points but experiencing a terible shooting night, going oh for-eleven on outside shooting. And by the way, this game was a lot closer than the final score of 67-58 might suggest.
