If Elida wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Grady, they should've done a better job of containing Deakin Ragland. The Grady Bronchos blew past the Elida Tigers 57-32 on Saturday thanks in part to Ragland, who posted 19 points. His evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points.
The team also got some help courtesy of Jackson Nolen, who earned 13 points. Those 13 points gave him a new career-high.
Elida's defeat came despite a true team effort from the offense, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Radlee Ferguson, who put up 11 points.
Grady pushed their record up to 9-7 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.6 points per game. As for Elida, they have traveled a rocky road recently having lost five of their last six contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.
Grady has already played their next match (against Gateway Christian), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Elida will head out on the road to square off against Melrose at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Melrose has five straight wins, Elida has four straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
