Montpelier Beats Edon In Rematch

January 26, 2015Updated:December 31, 2020No Comments2 Mins Read

(January 24th, 2015) – MONTPELIER: In a rare non-conference rematch, Buckeye Border Conference team Edon traveled to Montpelier to take on their North Western Ohio Athletic League neighbor on Saturday. The two teams last met in the first game of the season for both teams, with Montpelier taking home a win from Bomber Country. The Edon boys were looking to get some revenge against the Locos.

They didn’t get it, though, as Montpelier claimed a 55-35 victory.

Instead, the Locomotives used the same strategy that worked so well the first time to defeat Edon. They used their depth and athleticism to wear down the Bombers, a tactic for which Coach Arkwright’s limited roster numbers provides no answer.

The contest started out quite close, with two evenly matched teams battling it out. The Locos came out ahead, 13-10 in the first period. Montpelier began to build momentum in the second quarter, putting more space between themselves and their guests from Edon. They took the period 16-10, enjoying a healthy 29-20 lead going into the half.

But it was the third quarter where the Locomotives really set themselves apart. They outscored the Bombers 14-6 in the period. A close fourth period proved irrelevant after that, as the 12-9 showing for Montpelier down the stretch did little more than pad the final score.

Michael Blake powered the offense for Montpelier. The sophomore totaled 17 points in the game. Kolden Uribes thrived against the Bombers, knocking down a pair of threes on his way to 11 points. Kyrin Schuman scored 7 points, and Nate McCord added 6 in the win as well.

Edon was led by the junior duo of Landon Bloir and Jim Peckham, as both players put up 11 points apiece. Bloir tore up the interior of the Locomotive defense, scoring 11 points in the paint. Peckham, meanwhile, had a spectacular night shooting from long range, connecting on a trio of three-point shots against the Montpelier perimeter defense. Senior Alex Kirkingburg and sophomore Brayden Bauer each contributed 5 points in the loss as well.
