I guess. if that's the case maybe we need to send our players to acting school instead of working on skills.

 

Did Faulkner have foul trouble in the game? Sadly, that’s not far from the truth.

Stephens (and rest of their starting 5) are SRs. Stephens flew under radar with Gover and company last year, but has played great all season.

 

There's the secret to their success. Plus Hunter is as about as tough as they come.

I agree. Perfect example of accepting and fulfilling roles.

Why would Mercer shoot the corner shot anyways. They were lucky to get the rebound back.

I would say Mercer would have loved to have had that shot again from any of the 3 players that were wide open on the last play or a lay up from Gillis who was open on the last possession instead of a turnover at the top of the key with nobody back. The shot from the corner was probably the best look they had in the last 3 minutes of the game. Everything else in the last 3 minutes was 1 on 5 contested shots but a microcosm of their entire season. Faulkner only passed to the corner because he got bottled up and was on the verge of walking for the 2nd time in the last 3 possessions. Where was Baughman the last 4 minutes he didn't seem to want the ball like he had the rest of the tourney. Faulkner and Baughman took 79% of Mercer's shots for the season per KHSAA. I don't blame the kids for that they will only do what a coach allows them to do. Mercer had better starters 1-5 and it wasn't close. SW had a much better team and shared the ball so much better. It's a good lesson for everyone involved of the importance of team instead of individuals.
