In the pregame prediction thread, I suggested if the Bears could defend the 3, there would be lots of opps for BC's bigs to rebound. Pendleton missed 17 three point attempts and Bracken had an awesome 48 to 28 rebound advantage. That is a recipe for victory against Wildcats that was executed perfectly.

 

Besides the solid stats line above, it should be noted Crawford produced 22 points from floor on only 15 attempts (that is a fantastic 1.47 FG scoring efficiency); while I think Jones produced 18 points from floor on only 13 shots (also, a stellar 1.38 FG scoring efficiency). When volume scorers are this efficient, teammates stay in the game and victories follow. That is a recipe for a post-season march.

This stat shocked me. Dontaie had over half of his teams rebounds and most of them came of 2-3 putback attempts.

Listen the game podcast here. Interviews with Hinson and Belcher. You can also hear how electric atmosphere but it does not do it justice. This was the most fun game I've been a part of since last years District and it definitely felt like and old 38th District Championship between the Polar Bears and Wildcats. The rivalry is back!

Knock off the personal crap. This thread is about the Bracken County/Pendleton County game. Keep it that way or hit the bricks.

 

You know who you are.

And so do we.

I heard the parking was a nightmare. Is this true? Heard that about 1,300 people were there

I don't know about a nightmare but I was definitely the biggest crowd this season. 1300 is a fair assessment I was going to say close to 1500.

Gotta fix a few of these stats:

 

Official stats from PC Coach Keaton Belcher:

 

Bracken out rebounded Pendleton 42-37 (Allen had 18 boards)

 

Polar Bears had 7 turnovers to Pendleton's 6.

So how many rebounds did PC have? @Vito Corleone had a different number?

Pendleton County's quarter by quarter scoring is what stuck out me. Bracken County seems to always get outscored in the 3rd quarter.

KHSAA/Rieherds now changed to show 45/37 rebound edge to Bracken. Teams must have posted incorrectly on original recordation. Final does show Allen with 18 boards.

Looks like everyone was too into the game to record accurate stats!
