VINEMONT — Brody Peppers peppered Vinemont for a game-high 22 points to help Cold Springs’ varsity boys earn a 50-34 road victory over the Red and White on Tuesday night.
The Blue and Gold improved to 14-5 this season, while Vinemont dropped to 7-13.
Despite the win, Cold Springs coach Tim Willoughby didn’t necessarily like what he saw from his squad at times.
“Happy to win, especially on the road,” he said. “But I didn’t think our effort was very good tonight. To be totally honest, we’ve had some bad practice days and are doing things that good teams don’t do in practice. That sort of showed tonight. And if we don’t get it cleaned up, we aren’t going to accomplish much this year. Even in the best of circumstances, you may not accomplish what you want. But if we don’t get things turned around, we’re going to have a disappointing end to our season.”
Seth Williams reached double figures with 10 points, while Adam Hill (five), Tanner Kilgo (four), Roberto Ayala (four), Micah Calvert (three) and Ayden Alexander (two) also scored.
Collin Teichmiller led Vinemont with 11 points, while Ryan Stewart added eight.
Curtis Kennedy (six), Caleb Sharpe (five), Colby Miller (two) and Will Rhodes (two) rounded out the scoring for coach Preston Boyd’s squad.
