Landrum continues to wreck havoc on opponents with another blowout win over the Blacksburg Wildcats. Cardinal fans watched as their team won at home 92-59. With this win Landrum continues their undefeated season with a 7-0 record.

Landrum started the game in a 1-3-1 zone defense and stayed in it throughout the game. Their strong defense held the Wildcats to only 9 points the first quarter. Blacksburg also started in a zone defense but it was no match for the Cardinal’s rolling offense. Landrum was able to score at ease.

The Blacksburg Wildcats went to the locker room at halftime down 30 points with the score 55-25.

Things didn’t get any better for the Wildcats in the second half. They struggled to keep up with Landrum’s pace. Truston Whiteside led the offensive attack by driving into the lane and then passing to an open teammate. He had nine assists in the game. If the open man missed the shot Daniel Bridges was right there to get the rebound. He had 12 total rebounds. The team combined for 40 rebounds compared to Blacksburg’s 26. The Wildcats only had four offensive rebounds for the whole game. The Cardinals are a fun team to watch. They get the ball out quick in transition and catch their opponent off guard.

Daniel Bridges was next with 24 points, followed by teammate Mark Wilson with 17.
