I liken it to the Fawns v. Myrick game from 1995, though there was certainly much more on the line in that one.

When will we see some more Myrick's for Mason Co. The roster used to be full of them.

^ Good question. One that I don't have an answer to.

Solid stats on those boys. I need to get down to the 10th and see a few games.

Agree on the stats. And yes, you need to check some of these games out if you get the opportunity. Plenty of good ones to choose from, my friend. :thumb:

I really like the way that Shawn Johnson is playing. Love all the rebounds he is getting.

That's an excellent comparison.
