Huge Ranger third quarter leads to big win at Harrisburg

HARRISBURG- Benton won its ninth straight contest to open the season and improved to 3-0 in the SIRR Ohio with a 67-51 victory at Harrisburg Tuesday night. Jordan Gould hit a 3-pointer as time expired to pull Harrisburg to within 30-29 at halftime, but that would be as close as the Bulldogs (3-4, 1-2) would get. Benton put some distance between itself and Harrisburg out of intermission thanks to some turnovers and some outside shooting. The Rangers outscored Harrisburg 22-12 in the third quarter. “I thought in the second half we really played well,” said Benton coach Ron Winemiller. “We made a little adjustment offensively and a little adjustment defensively on how we were guarding the ball screen, and I thought we did a much better job on (Isaiah) Saulsberry in the second half.” (It was Coach WInemiller’s first win at Davenport Gym last night) Please click on the link to read the rest of the story from the Harrisburg Daily Register.
