Fern Creek 57 Manual 55

Late to report, but did not see anything. This is obviously a case of a "bad" win for Fern Creek. Not sure what to make of this other than Fern Creek is obviously capable of beating anyone and also could very easily lose to just about anyone. No offense to Manual, but their record speaks for itself and they had the last possession down 2 and missed several shots to tie. Had they went for a 3 they could have pulled one of the biggest upsets on the season.

Fern Creek has many seniors and adequate depth, but several in particular need to score every night. I do not have the stats, but only Price was scoring at his regular clip. Wales did not have his shot falling in the 1st half and decided to just pass in the 2nd half which resulted in a low scoring night for him. Wickliffe fared better, but was not shooting at his normal clip either. Fern Creek escaped, but they looked very bad last night. Credit to Manual for fighting hard and being competitive, but Fern Creek looked very vulnerable last night.

Shocking score

Strange, but this seems to happen every season about this time of the year. I don't have the answer, could it be teams read to many press clipping, just get lazy, distracted, or play maybe too many games.
