Basketball: Beth Haven sweeps pair from KSD

December 18, 2007

Louisville Beth Haven used a big second-quarter run to open its lead, then coasted in the second half Monday to beat the visiting Kentucky School for the Deaf boys 68-34.

Jordan Ramser was the only KSD player in double figures as he scored 13 points. Dustin Tipton had seven points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals while Travis Zornoza added five points, five boards and two assists.

The Colonels (6-3) shot just 27 percent (12 of 44) and turned the ball over 20 times.

"We were simply outplayed. Beth Haven outhustled us, and they wanted it more than we did," KSD coach Mike Yance said.

"We just did not play a good game overall."

Beth Haven (2-5) led 23-16 after the first quarter, but stretched that lead to 36-20 at the half and 49-34 after three quarters.

Girls Game

Beth Haven 53, KSD 17 - At Louisville, the Colonels (1-8) trailed by 16 at the half and could never recover in a loss to Beth Haven.

Victoria Thompson had nine points, eight rebounds and four steals for KSD, which shot 7-for-40 from the floor and made one of six free throws. The Colonels also had a season-high 35 turnovers.

"Beth Haven used a very effective 2-2-1 press that really hurt us. All year, we have been killed by the press," KSD coach Scott Johnson said.

"The 35 turnovers and low shooting percentage really kept us out of the game. We thought this was a team we could compete with, but we didn't bring or best game tonight."
