What a game!!!!!!

 

Russell Co. had more than enough opportunities to win this in the 4th and 1st two OT's, but turnover were their downfall.

 

Congrats to Franklin Co. on hangin' in an pulling out the victory.

SOLID NUMBERS!!!!

Way agreed re all the comments of how awesome this game was -- Triple WOW!!

 

Officiating was not at all solid -- my opinion, of course. The Carman kid for RC (their big) was absolutely hammered all day and she NEVER reached the foul line. The picky calls called against RC on the opposing end was amazing in contrast to how silent the whistles were against FC.

 

Bottom line is if RC had made their FT's at the end(s) of the game then RC would easily have won the game. Congrats to FC for hanging in there when it certainly looked like they were toast multiple times in this game.

 

Great crowds and support for both programs as well. Kudo's to both communities for cheering (LOUDLY!) for their teams!
