On Tuesday Robert Simpson made a splash, scoring 18 points along with eight rebounds and six blocks. It looks like he has Thomasville's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the game was his eighth in a row with two or more blocks. For the year, Simpson has averaged 16.2 points, 4 blocks, and 2.3 steals per contest.
Simpson and Hillcrest will look to defend their home court on Friday against Monroe County at 7:30 p.m. Hillcrest got just the result they wanted when they last faced Monroe County, probably because Simpson had a great game then too: he shot 4-for-5 from long range and dropped a double-double on 20 points and ten rebounds. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check back here after the action for a full breakdown and analysis of the contest.
