16thBBall Fan 3,358 Posted February 8, 2020 Final from Spencer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsrule1972 111 Posted February 8, 2020 One of the better played high school games I've seen. Intensity level off the charts. Both teams knew what was at stake, playing Collins in first round of district tournament. Collins will have their hands full with the District Tournament being played at Anderson County. Spencer played from a few down most of the game. Anderson County just held the ball which works very well for them. The third quarter was where Spencer finally got lead with 8 straight points by Whitlock. First overtime Spencer had first possession and missed then Anderson ran the last four minutes down and took last second three Second overtime Spencer got down 6 and then came storming back. At 1.2 seconds Spencer threw ball in to Mabrey who stroked a 3 at buzzer. Spencer won by 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColonelMike 1,171 Posted February 8, 2020 Wow. Lacking in points - but obviously not lacking in excitement. Congrats to the Bears on the win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoopJunkie 343 Posted February 8, 2020 A simple man to man defense would keep a team from holding the ball... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsrule1972 111 Posted February 8, 2020 A simple man to man defense would keep a team from holding the ball... I guess it's not that simple considering Anderson took two of the better teams in the region down the wire. When two teams are basically playing for their playoff lives you can throw everything out the window. I give Anderson County huge props. They did everything they could to win that game and Spencer had to give everything to win. Really nothing negative to say. It was a great game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iceman13 57 Posted February 8, 2020 Anderson doesn’t hold the ball. They are just patient and work for their best shot. May make 10-15 passes to break down a defense, even man to man. This was an intense game, well played by both teams. Whitlock was clutch for Spencer. I was surprised that towards end of the third, Spencer had momentum and tempo in their favor and chose to slow the game down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems like forever. I was impressed to see high school level kids able to stay that focused under intense pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConverseAllStar 170 Posted February 8, 2020 So now Spencer will play Woodford in first round of districts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsrule1972 111 Posted February 8, 2020 So now Spencer will play Woodford in first round of districts? If they beat Shelby County. That game will be up for grabs too. Woodford will have a key starter back. Would rather play them than Collins though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GCFOREVER 35 Posted February 8, 2020 What's the seeding in the 30th? With 5 teams I would assume MLC gets the first round bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cardsrule1972 111 Posted February 8, 2020 What's the seeding in the 30th? With 5 teams I would assume MLC gets the first round bye. Collins is the one seed. Spencer is the two. Woodford is the three. Anderson is the four. Shelby is the five. Anderson and Shelby winner will play Collins while Spencer and Woodford will play the other semifinal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
