I am moving on as it was just such a tremendous game with all you want in a High School hoops night from the pre-game to the final buzzer.  Nights like this is why kids lace’em up.  Someone has to win and someone has to lose.  We have all been both and will be again down the road.
 

Congrats to all involved.  What. A. Night.

5-Oh - Thought your post was basically spot on. Well done...

Instride - You will not be able to change the opinion of certain "backers" in here over a Holy Cross game. You can generally tell based off the game thread comments throughout the season. You are making "some" valid points but you can tell the comments from the Holy Cross haters. The bottom line is that Holy Cross is still a darn good basketball team and has a great chance next week in the districts and regionals if they advance. They finish the season 21-7 playing a tough schedule. 

As far as St. Henry, I have a lot of respect for Coach Faust and the St. Henry kids. It would have been easy to fold up and lose by 30+ last night after they got down, but they didn't and battled back and won the game. Give them ALL the credit and I wish them well next week. Holy Cross will be just fine and maybe a wake up call that when they get teams down like that they need to keep the foot down.

Only comment I will make about the refs is that 2 of the 3 were outstanding in my opinion. The other guy should move to the next level if he thinks he is that qualified. High school seems below him. There were a couple tough calls down the stretch but the refs did NOT cost Holy Cross this game, St. Henry won it!

Best of luck to all the teams heading into next week!

⚔️ Congratulations to St. Henry on the hard fought win. Thanks to both teams for providing a great night (and part of today) of entertaining hoops. It was a pleasure to watch. Best of luck moving forward.

I guess Instride isn’t taking this loss Instride? Ha ha ha. Sorry couldn’t help it, dad jokes run through my veins. Nothing personal.
