Final

Congratulations to Boyd County.

 

Boyd County hit the majority of their free throws , and Russell did not, simple as that.

 

7of 18 from the free throw line for Russell.

Final per James Collier.

This Russell team seems to be getting better but still need to improve on free throws.

After a hot first half, Russell cooled off in the second. Boyd County also tightened up its defense in the fourth quarter and Russell got a little sloppy at times. The difference in free throws was definitely a huge factor in the outcome.

 

I would have liked to have seen Russell look for two Iate in the game when they were down 62-58. Instead, they forced a wild three point attempt when they didn't really need one. There was still over 20 seconds remaining.

 

I like the make-up of this team, though. They've just got some little things to work on.
