Winton Woods (OH) 47 Covington Catholic 46

Final.

Aiden missing the front end of 1 and 1 with 9 seconds to go to put CCH back up was uncharacteristic of him. Winton Woods plays that methodical style that bothers CCH who likes to get up and down.

He also missed another FT a little before this one. Highly unusual.

Thought the announcer did a nice job. Nice description of game action and gave the score frequently.

Ouch CovCath and Cooper both go down the same night.

Winton Woods wanted it more; they played well, have some great athletes, and their shots were falling.

It came down to few key elements in Q4:

1) Free throws - WW made theirs and CCH didn't

2) CCH not handling the pressure and turning over the ball

3) Poor clock management by CCH

4) Poor shot selection by CCH - (ie. taking and missing 3s' twice while only using 10 ticks on the clock with a 7 point lead)

Yet another game where CCH was leading by 5+ with 5 minutes left and couldn't close ...

There is a reoccurring theme when CCH has problems and that is handling of ball pressure. How did CJ play?

Very disappointing loss... Winton Woods is a very average team... CovCath continues to struggle with pressure...I'm getting quite concerned about this team, talent is not an issue... execution is.
