Trawick trumps JCHS
When Richmond needed something done, Jon Trawick was their man.
He scored his team's first six points.
After Richmond abused the Red Devils inside early, he stepped in defensively to shut down the paint.
And when the game was tied two minutes into the fourth quarter, he personally outscored the Patriots the rest of the way.
Trawick's 26 points, including 12 in the final six minutes, led the visiting Red Devils to a 40-36 victory over the Jay County High School boys basketball team.
"I think what's most impressive is his teammates are aware enough in a limited possession game like this to get him enough touches," said Richmond coach Joe Luce. "We take Trawick for granted a lot ... because he just does this night in and night out. I was most impressed with the fact that defensively he had some great blocks and some big rebounds."
Trawick took over with the game tied at 26 scoring his team's next nine points to push to a five-point lead, and his pair of free throws with 16.6 seconds left made the score 39-33. After Brad Horn heaved in a 3-pointer from the left side with six seconds left, Trawick sealed the game by splitting a pair of free throws for the final margin.
For the game Trawick finished 11-of-13 on two-point field goals while the rest of the Red Devils were just 5-of-20 (25 percent) from the field.
"You can't give up 26 points to (Trawick)," said JCHS coach Craig Teagle, whose team has lost three in a row after a 5-0 start. "He was supposed to be covered up and swarmed all night.
"We did a terrible job on him."
Overall, Teagle was unhappy with how his team played after two-and-a-half weeks away from the court.
"I'm disappointed," he said. "I thought that it would be a tough game because they're a very good team. ... But I thought on our home floor if we played like we need to play we'd find a way to win.
"I didn't think we played with near the intensity that we're played in other games.
"You can't take anything away from Richmond. The better team won. They out-played us. ... The team that deserved to win won the game tonight."
Eric Homan and Josh Beaty exposed the inside of the Richmond defense early, scoring all of the Patriots' points as they built an 11-6 lead. But Trawick and the Red Devils took over the paint from there as they limited Jay County to just 33 percent shooting for the game.
The Patriots managed just one field goal, a 3-pointer by Homan, in the second quarter.
"They took (Trawick) and just set him in front of the rim, and they've done that in most of the games we've watched," said Teagle. "When you're 12-of-36 you're not going to win many games."
As Jay County struggled from the field in the second quarter, the Red Devils put together an 8-0 run and led by four at halftime. The Patriots bounced back by limiting Richmond to just four third-quarter points, but could not stop Trawick in the fourth.
Luce said he was happy with the way his team reacted to JCHS's slower pace.
"You have to be able to shift gears and be able to defensively have a toughness and a consistency and offensively not shoot bad shots. And our guys did that tonight," said Luce, whose team had scored at least 45 points in each of its first nine games. "We had some really big plays defensively with some blocked shots and some really big plays offensively where we got the ball in the post in the beginning of the fourth quarter that we keys to the win. I'm so proud of our guys ..."
Tanner Todd was second in the scoring column for the Red Devils with five points. Ryan Jones grabbed seven rebounds, and Chandler Miller added five boards.
Homan and Beaty each scored 11 points to share the scoring lead for JCHS. Garrett Krieg had six points on a pair of third-quarter 3-pointers.
Homan had five rebounds and two assists, Brock McFarland finished with four rebounds and two assists and Brad Horn added four boards.

Jay County shut out the Red Devils in the second quarter and extended their lead in the second half on the way to a 38-23 victory.
