A barn burner in Freedom Hall...Trinity came back from 12 down in the second half to make it interesting.

Both teams went away from their strengths in the second half.

 

X played slow down starting with their first poss. of the 3rd Q. taking a full minute off the clock before attempting a shot. X got their lead from great play by their point guard and three point shooting. I don't recall a 3-point attempt by X in the 2nd half.

 

Trinity had a beast underneath in #22...I believe his name was Tanner Murphy...I might have the name mixed up. X had no answer for this animal. When he went to the basket for the score...it was an automatic 2. In the 2nd half he didn't see the ball very often and when he did...he kicked it out. He did have crucial rebounds and tip outs that helped pull the rocks close.

 

Very good game that featured a lot of class on both sides....

Congrats X-men! Very entertaining games all night. T frosh win with X JVers and varsity winning. Coach Joe.... good job!

Nicholas Jacobs. He could be crucial in how well Trinity does in district and regional playoffs. If he continues to become dominant, Trinity's oponent's guards and small forwards will have to help out under the basket allowing him to kick it out to Byron, Caufield, or Chambless for the outside shot. If Trinity can get all cyclinders firing together, they have a good shot going deep in the region. If one part of the engine is not running well like it wasn't in much of the first half, Trinity could lose rather early in district.

That would be Tanner Jacobs. XMan you should remember his brother Gus - he was a great I believe DE or LB for the Tigers in football and went on to play fullback at UK. Very athletic family.

If I'm not mistaken...his name is Tanner Jacobs.

I can't figure either one of these teams out.

Congratulations to the Tigers!

 

 

Rocks, you did us proud! You played hard to the last second, and put up a GREAT fight! Way to come back!

 

Deuce! Great as always to hang out with you! Definitely made sitting in the Tiger pit less fearsome!

It is, my mistake.

Who is in T's district?

 

Not sure, were districts realigned this year?

Tanner Jacobs...hey I got it half right!

I believe that T has a very good team. Jacobs is crucial. His drop step and up and under moves were very good and controlled. Trinity's press was also very impressive especially when they went to the denial option in the second half. I felt that Trinity had the better half court offense as well. They passed the ball very well. The only weakness that I saw was the point guard who seemed very tentative to use his left hand. When X's point played him tight, he wouldn't even attempt to dribble with his left.

 

I thought X had way too much dribbling in their half court offense. All that dribbling lets the defense reset. Of course X's point guard got away with it because of his talent. He will meet someone down the line who stop his drives. If X ran a half court offense like T...they would have a much better record.

Way to go Tigers! Great effort by both teams and a great crowd almost 10,000.

Deuce! Great as always to hang out with you! Definitely made sitting in the Tiger pit less fearsome!
