(December 4th, 2014) – EDON: The Bomber Seventh Grade Boys didn’t shy away when hosting North Western Ohio Athletic League opponent Montpelier. Indeed, they gave their best effort, not the least bit intimidated.
That effort proved to be too much for the young Locos to handle, as Edon took the game 34-8.
Both sides struggled offensively early in the game, with the Edon boys managing just 3 points in the first period. Their defense was formidable, however, refusing to give up a single point to the Locomotives. A 12-4 second quarter gave the Bombers a wide cushion going into halftime, as they enjoyed a 15-4 lead.
The boys of Edon continued their scoring trend in the third stanza, putting up 13 points while holding Montpelier to 2. With a 22 point advantage heading into the final quarter, the Bombers slowed down their attack, totaling just 6 points in the period. The Loco boys were again limited to 2 points in that span.
Edon’s Austin Kiess led all scorers with 17 points. Teammate Dylan Mason added 4 points. Five other Bombers also contributed points to the Edon victory.
Montpelier had just two players score in the game. Rowen Beck produced a team leading 6 points against the stout Bomber defense. Braden Saneholtz put up 2 points for the Locos as well.
