Palmyra 59, Exeter 53
Competing in the Cedar Crest Holiday Tournament, the Cougars entered Monday night’s matchup against Exeter hungry to get their season back on track after dropping several close games to open the year.
Palmyra came out clicking, spreading the scoring around with five different players contributing in the 1st quarter. Entering the 2nd quarter holding a 16-11 lead, the Cougars continued to add to their advantage behind steady offense and, more importantly, a suffocating defensive effort that limited Exeter to just 6 points in the frame. By halftime, Palmyra led 29-17, paced by Micah Warner with 9 points and Brady Kyper with 7.
Exeter responded by winning each of the final two quarters, but Palmyra’s strong first half proved to be enough to preserve the victory. Timely three-pointers from Julian Meley, Braydon Bown, and Kyper, along with a strong second half from Luke Grumbein, who scored 14 points after the break, helped seal the win.
Warner, who has recently been studying Chris Webber’s game, led the Cougars with 15 points, scoring in all four quarters and going 3-for-5 from the free-throw line. Grumbein finished with 14 points, while Kyper added 11 to give Palmyra three players in double figures.
Palmyra (4-5) will face Cedar Crest in the tournament championship on Tuesday night.
