Final in the 33rd.

 

Good job Cougars!

Was anyone at this game? I understand that it was a close game at the half but when I look at the stats I see terrible shooting percentages across the board for Conner but yet they won going away. 14 for 77 total (18%) and 1 for 21 from 3 (4.8%), 19 for 33 from the line (58%). One thing that jumps out at me was that Gambrel went to the line a whopping 20 times and converted 13 of them. Did Conner cause problems with their trapping full court defense? Did Boone Co. play straight man defense the whole game? Just wondering from afar.

This was a very ugly game. It was tied at 19 at the half. Conner couldn't hit from outside and Boone must have missed 12 lay ups. Conner did press and trap throughout the game but their best defensive effort was denying Saner and Foster from shooting 3's. Saner went scoreless on the night (averaging 16 per game). Conner did a great job on the boards as well. Boone had to resort to fouling the last two minutes of the game because Conner was just holding the ball which is why Gambrel went to the line so much. Boone played man defense most of the game, they did go to a zone briefly but got caught sleeping on the blocks a couple of possessions so they went back to man. Between the missed lay ups and a huge amount of turnovers, Boone took themselves out of the game. Hats off to Conner, they played with more intensity and looked more prepared which is why they won. I'm sure it was very satisfying for Coach Stamm seeing it was a District game and because Coach Roller left his staff to become the assistant at Boone.

Spoke to Coach Stamm and he advises it was 56 attempts. He made a typo error on the khsaa website
