To be more accurate, last night's game in State College actually was most of a 3 man show, but only one of them was a Mountain Lion. Kyle Kanaski scored 35 points for State College. He made 9 3-pointers and frankly, I don't remember him missing. Teammate Bryan Kanaski poured in 25. But, Altoona's DeShae Lee had 22 points. State won, 73-57. There was only a four field goal differential, but when you're trading 2's for 3's, you fall back. Altoona got the game to within 7 in the second half, but could get no closer.
By the way, I have a new phone now. I am not sure why, but the photos I took at State College won't go through to my email account, so we're stuck with the Lion logo again. Further attempts are coming.
Tonight, Paul Engleman and I will be in Hollidaysburg for the rematch between the Lady Lions and Lady Tigers. This will be a tough assignment for Altoona. Hollidaysburg has only lost once. At the field house in December, the Lady Tigers held on to what was a big lead for a one point victory. The Mountain Lions will play at Central Mountain, so we will provide score updates through the broadcast.
