I agree with your assessment that in close games between teams of similiar talent , the free throw line is the difference. This was true In The Districts this year.
Ashland won in the semis at the line and Fairview lost in the finals at the line.
I thought Ashland was the 2 seed in the district.
I dont know why any one would not give them a ghost chance of winning it, I thought they split with Fairview and Rosehill in the season.
Old Shooter, I have a question for you since you predicted this would happen a couple of days ago. You also seem to have alot of knowledge of the way things are in our neck of the woods.
Were YOU surprised by the Degree of differences in how the game was called for the teams and the number of foul shots.
How does the most physical player on the floor,Bonner from Ashland,have 1 foul and the 3 players who played mostly inside for RH (Gregg,Kennedy,Parsons) have 11 between them.:ohbrother:
Old Shooter was right. I'll bet though even he was surprised by the calls tonight.
I dont even know how R.H. kept it that close with such a discrepancy in foul shots.
Great Story.:thumb:
This is what alot of coaches and fans dont realize. That the life lessons learned in sports stay with you longer and affect your life more than just the wins and losses.
It is obvious that these coaches and teams realize that.:clap:
