Mount Pulaski shot down by Williamsville Bullets 60-42

[December 17, 2014]  MOUNT PULASKI - Mount Pulaski was shot down by the Bullets 60-42 as junior Matt Watson from Williamsville led all scorers with 20 points. Senior Brayden Curry led the Toppers with 12 points. Mount Pulaski dug itself a hole early down 6-0 but a three point shot and a layup by Curry got the Toppers right back in it, but not for long.

The Toppers trailed 15-5 at the end of the first quarter.

Brett Huff came in off the bench to drain a three for Mount Pulaski in the second quarter and freshman Peyton Taylor also entered the game and the 6'5 big man was good for two points in the paint, narrowing the lead to 18-10. Later a steal by Michael Lowery and the long pass to Curry would be good for nice layup, but the Bullets still held on to a nice lead at 24-16. The Toppers continued to keep pace with the very athletic Bullets. Beau Collier drained a long three just before halftime and the Toppers headed to the locker room still trailing by a nine-point margin, 31-22.

Beau Collier continued his scoring run by hitting another three to open the third quarter scoring for the Toppers. Beau Collier also connected for two points on a nice pass from Lowery to edge the Toppers closer at 35-29. Williamsville managed a 9-0 run at this point between the third and fourth quarters and led the Toppers 44-29.

The Bullets just continued to take advantage of Topper turnovers and run away with the game in the fourth quarter, winning 60-42.

Mount Pulaski falls to 3-5 on the season and Williamsville improves to 3-2.

The Toppers travel to Athens Friday night to take on the Warriors at 7:30 pm.
