Walton Raiders Basketball – Men Elude Spartan Charge

Deja Vu all over again…….Walton paired up against Campell’s Spartans for the rematch round, less than a week after winning the initial bout 76-70. Both games began the same and ended the same. Campbell came out strong, on fire and disciplined. They jumped to an 18-11 first quarter lead and Campbell’s Travis Wallace looked a [...]

Yard Ball meets it’s Match – Lassiter upsets Walton

Very much reminiscent of both the Milton and Centennial games earlier in the season, Walton’s free-for-all style of play ran into problems trying to out-style the disciplined, well-oiled, play-executing Trojans from Lassiter. By all accounts, it looked like Lassiter (15-3) had reviewed quite a few game tapes of Walton prior to Tuesday night’s match up. [...]

Wheeler Men’s team handles Walton

Wheeler’s basketball program is still in fine shape.  It was obvious early on that Walton would have to be firing on all cylinders in order to stay with the Wildcats for four quarters. Although Walton scored the first baskets, that lead didn’t last very long. Wheeler’s stable of athletes was too deep for Walton’ run [...]

Walton Men manhandle Pope Greyhounds

From the outset of this year’s first of two meetings, Walton was clearly a superior team. Pope could not penetrate the lane in any form or fashion. Just [...]

Raider Men 1.5 Seconds short of Upset

In one of the more entertaining games of the year, the Walton Men’s team lost an upset opportunity in the last second of regulation. Glen Rice put back a Scott Newton foul shot to put the Raiders ahead 90-89 with six seconds left on the clock. Without missing a beat, Centennial’s offense inbounded the ball [...]

Walton Raiders upset by Milton Eagles

Walton’s street ball offense could not put away Milton’s methodical defense. Although Walton probably has a few athletes who are better individually, it takes five on the court at a time to play the game. Milton’s five played better as a team than Walton’s five. Milton pulled out a 74-70 victory by playing stiff defense, [...]
