\"Basketball1\"<\/a>The Tartan Pride played just one game against an uncompetitive University of Pikeville on the evening of November 24. The Pride skated by with a 109-68 victory and five-of-six three-pointers were made by forward Caleb Walker, all five of which were scored in the first half.<\/p>\n

Forward Reshardd Harris also continued his dominating season by adding 21 points of his own, making 10 of his 17 shots from the field. The only starter who didn\u2019t post double digit points was Akiean Frederick, but he owned the boards with 13 rebounds.<\/p>\n

In what was a one-sided game, it can be hard to keep players interested in the game. That was something Coach Price talked about at half-time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are playing kind of uninspired a little bit tonight. Obviously, we are a physically better team than Pikeville, but I\u2019m hoping we come out with a little bit more energy in the second half,\u201d said Price.<\/p>\n

The uninspired playing by the Pride has one simple explanation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPikeville didn\u2019t pass the eye test. They didn\u2019t look like a team that could come out and beat us so they didn\u2019t play to their level,\u201d said Price.<\/p>\n

It apparently didn\u2019t matter if they played to their level or not because the Tartans still won by 41 points. A lack of competition may be the reason why Price has yet to put his \u201cstamp\u201d on a game yet. Results like this apparently don\u2019t earn that yet because even though they are winning, they aren\u2019t playing hard-nosed basketball throughout both halves like he wants them to.<\/p>\n

The Pride play a home game against the JV team of Cedarville University, another team that Price says they stack up very well against followed by a Hocking College team that they beat 115-79 just a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
