final in the ekc semifinals

You can't go over 7 minutes without scoring a bucket like Russell did and expect to win. Congrats to East Carter

Russell really missed Darnell tonight.

From listening to the game Russell struggled with the press.

Darnell and Mitchell, with their ball handling and experience, would have helped out a lot in that area.

 

It's good that some younger players are getting important minutes early in the season, but you've got to put the ball in the basket to win games, and Russell went cold down the stretch. I think East Carter closed out the game on something like a 19-3 run. Credit the Lady Raiders for getting the W. They owned the 4th period.
