Ludlow's defense was feisty with eight blocked shots and the home team had a difficult time controlling the ball and coughed it up a few more times.

Grant County's defense was too much, though, for the visiting team.  The Braves caused the Panthers to turn the ball over 26 times, 15 of those were steals.

GCHS improved to 11-8.  That leaves nine games left in the season.  That includes at least one game in the KHSAA District 32 tournament.    The Braves still have a chance of attaining its preseason goal of 20 wins.

District 32 seedings are set.  With Williamstown going 0-6 and Simon Kenton making a clean sweep, they will meet in the first round of the tournament.  Leaving Walton-Verona and Grant County to meet in the first round.  WV is the defending tournament champ.
