Final.

Oldham doesn't wow you but they are solid. Thought GC would play closer.

Oldham is the team to beat- lots of weapons.

I believe Grant captured the momentum going into halftime down 3. But just were not able to put anything together offensively in the third quarter and they were simply unable to recover. Game was definitely closer than the score indicated. I wish in the first half we could have seen Hawes and Johnson go after it a little more instead of Grant sliding into a 2-3. Great matchup there between in my opinion 2 of the top 3 PG's in the region (the other being Kidwell from Collins). Also I believe the officiating crew tonight was from the 10th region, but they were collectively the worst officiating crew I have seen all year. One official in general didn't even know the right protocol for calling a foul. Did the officiating change the outcome, no, but I do believe that it would have been a much closer game. I think Grant County no doubt had the kids to win this region. Great ballplayers as well as some of the most respectful young kids off the court you'll ever meet. Sad to watch this senior class go with all they have gone through together.

Grant was solid for almost three quarters. Oldham can score from anywhere on the court, though...and their press eventually took its toll.

 

Collins is a solid defensive team and are athletic enough to cause problems for Oldham, but I dont know if they can keep up offensively, and they wont wear down a deeper Oldham like they got to Owen a little bit tonight. I think the Colonels win by about 10 or so.
