Welmer had a game-high 23 points for Columbus North Friday night in an upset loss to Bloomington North in the semifinals of the Class 4A Shelbyville sectional round here in Indiana. The Bull Dogs led 47-41 going into the fourth quarter but only scored two points as North Cougars came from behind for the win. Welmer, who scored 13 points in the first half against B-town North, averaged 15 points and eight rebounds a game as Columbus North was ranked among the top 10 in Class 4A for most of the season.
I was hoping to make the 40 minute drive from my house to Shelbyville Saturday night - as Columbus North would have been a possible opponent for a school I scout for in the regional round. Unfortunately they lost on Friday night too.
