Knights Stung in Waterville

Mon, Dec 20, 2010

Waterville sprang to a 40-13 first half lead and the Emerald Knights could not fight back sufficiently, losing 63-25 at Waterville tonight.

Coach Dave Rhyde said the loss was, at least in part, the result of two things: one is named Jared, the other is Jordan. The Henderson brothers -- both just sophomores -- are Waterville's point and shooting guards. They combined for 30 points tonight.

"One knows what the other one is going to do before he does," said Rhyde. "And, they are quicker than cats."

Rhyde also said the Knights "didn't get good looks at the basket." He added that Waterville's defense was just enough to get "us out of kilter."

In the end, the Knights' John Andrejezek had 13 points and seven rebounds. Lucas Rhyde hit for 10 points, Cam Fisher was held to six, Phil Douchinsky had four and Tom Hilgenberg has two points and nine rebounds.

Rhyde said his team is still learning a new defense installed this year.

"We did a nice job (on defense)," he said. "We're starting to figure out our new defense and when we do we'll be fine."

The Knights get to work on that defense Wednesday when they host Oriskany at home.

The JV also lost at Waterville, 45-41.
