Augusta hits 23 of 30 FTs vs. Brossart's 2 of 4 to win their first 10th region All A championship

This game was a barn burner from the get go. Brossart controlled the first half going up by 12 at one point. Augusta clawed their way back into it. Back and forth in the final period with Brossart having a chance at the end of regulation but went 1-2 at the line to force overtime. The Stangs jumped out quick in the start of the extra session but augusta came back and hit the freebies down the stretch to seal the victory. Am so proud of Jason and his kids they done a great job and would not be denied.

 

The Mustangs played an exceptional game as well it was really a shame one team has to loose games like this.

During crunch time, with a chance to win, I don't think I can name a coach I'd like to have on my sideline right now more than Jason Hinson.

Congrats to the Panthers!:thumb:

No clue what happened in this game, but 30-4 FT's is tough to overcome?

I think the final was 67-65. Good game. Congrats to Augusta, tough one to swallow for Brossart.

Final Score 67-65, Brossart hit a three at the end of game for final score. Augusta was 24-30 from the line. Had 11 twos and 7 threes to go with their 24 FTs.

.....and Augusta had to overcome Randy Parker picking them to win.

:lol2:

Augusta is not an overly aggressive team and they do not foul much. Brossart attempted a lot of shots from areas where not many fouls are called. I'm not saying they don't foul but they don't put themselves in position to do so. They played a steady game, kept their cool, and pulled this one out. Panthers win their 6th straight game and improve to 15-6 and will face the 16-2 Owen County Rebels in Frankfort on the 29th at 6:30pm.

The only game I've got right in a good 2 weeks.

Really happy for Coach Hinson & Augusta (Augusta the team & Augusta the town).

 

This program has been on some kind of run the last 3 years: 2 District titles & now a Class A title.

Congratulations to Coach Hinson and the Panthers!!!

 

I know that this is the one crowning achievement that Jason wanted badly. It had eluded him going back to 2008 when he was the head coach at St. Patrick and had the rug pulled out from under him by the Mustangs, while heavily favored to win it.

 

Watching the Panthers celebrate tonight, I enjoyed absorbing the unbridled enthusiasm demonstrated by the players who finally thwarted the Mustangs who held claim to this particular tournament title for much of their lives. Enjoy the moment and then go to Frankfort on a mission to represent the 10th to the best of your abilities, which I know that you will.

 

I also want our guys, who carried the tremendous burden of self-imposed pressure to carry on the Brossart tradition, to know how proud we are of them and are not in the least disappointed in them, and how far they have come in two short months. Jon Zink was a warrior tonight, leading all scorers with 22, but he will carry the memory of a missed free-throw with him for the rest of his life. This, instead of relishing the fact that had he not played at the level in which he did, he would never have put himself (or us) in the position to possibly win the game. Jackson Crawford, Jake Zai, Blake Saunders, Dylan Geiman, Justin Rolf and Logan Schultz (and Gabe Roberts who wasn't even on the team) all occupied front row seats a year ago watching the 2014 "A" Champs ritually execute all comers, and here in one short year were thrust upon the grand stage and managed to get a team, whose primary players were contributing to winning district tournaments while gaining valuable experience for the past two years, to overtime.

 

Hats off to our coaching staff also, who work their magic with our players on an annual basis, taking the hands we are dealt and molding them into contentious units. Pretty amazing!!! We are truly blessed.

 

Our broadcast of the game set a new all-time high for listeners (626), as I'm sure we picked up a large part of the listening Panther nation when the Augusta broadcast team were unable to maintain an internet connection and completely lost their feed. I will provide the Panthers CDs of our broadcast so they have it to share with their kids and grandkids down the road, somewhere off in the future.

 

And finally thanks to Stan Steidel and the All "A" committee who had the vision to bring this tournament to reality back in the 80's. Stan would have been proud watching with me, while the Panthers celebrated winning this regional "A" tournament. He would realize that on this night, his vision of providing a true small school from a small community the joy and happiness of winning a regional tournament and packing up to go play in a statewide competition, was fulfilled.

The only game I've got right in a good 2 weeks.

 

 

And as I pointed out on numerous occasions, papa said Augusta would win by 2. Thanks to the guy from Brossart who hit the late 3-ball to make me look good (well, you know what I mean).

Mustang, I couldn't agree more. A lot of talk on bgp about how good certain coach's are. Code's name doesn't always come up. All he does is win an more importantly he wins with Brossart kids.

 

These Augusta kids are a fun group to watch. These kids have played the last couple of years in the shadow of one player. I think these boys are proving there was more to them then 1 player.

 

Ky hs basketball at its best!!!
