Frederick Douglass 1 (59)

GRC (57)

 

GRC opened with a 16-5 lead. Then it got into foul trouble. The momentum of the game changed from there. Frederick Douglass 1 outscored GRC 23-15 in the 3rd quarter after GRC led 24-16 at halftime.

 

FDHS 1 had a 57-48 lead in the 4th quarter, but GRC turned it up on pressure defense and got back in the game.

 

Graham tied the game at 57-all on a strong move to the basket for a layup with about 7 seconds left. However, he went for the steal after FDHS 1 inbounded the ball and committed a foul instead with 5.4 seconds to go.

 

FDHS 1 made both free throws. Graham received the inbound pass and dribbled across the cout before attempting an off-balance three-point shot which missed badly at the buzzer.

 

Graham led GRC with 19 points.

 

GRC has size and length, but doesn't have a true point guard or pure outside shooting.

Many complaints. I won’t be surprised if this is the last KBA state tournament

 

What were the complaints mostly about?

Here are a few Tweets about it:

The KBA State Tournament has seen it's last weekend in my opinion. They have lost their venue and now the clocks aren't working at Frederick Douglass and the woman below is yelling out the time and the score.

@IcebasketballKY

 

And no a/c in the auxiliary gym at FDHS and the floor is dangerously slick. LCA just forfeited because of it.

They also charged $7 admission to get in. That's about $7 too much for a summer game.

Reading this thread seems like Clinton County had a very good showing. Didn’t see a report on here where they lost?

Impressed by GRC JV Team winning championship. Lots of talent coming up.

So which varsity bracket was the overall champion?

Thanks so much. How did Canada and Wellman do. Besides Graham they should be our shooters. How did Jenkins do at center. Know we will miss Philpot at that position.

 

I love our pressure defense. Think coach Cook has done a great job with our team.

 

Again I really appreciate you taking the time to post about my Cards.

 

You're welcome! Wellman had 10 points (two three-pointers) and Canada finished with eight points. Jenkins had a big body, but he didn't touch the ball much. He added eight points.

Frederick Douglass 2.

 

The Gold Bracket was the consolation bracket. They should call it the Silver Bracket instead of using 'Gold' which could be misleading.
