More surprising than the HC loss last night?

No, not for me.  Lloyd has dudes, they just haven't been able to figure it out for 32 straight minutes.  Lloyd isn't deep, but their starting 5, like Newport, can really go.

No because Conner never led by 26 points like Holy Cross. 
 

Conner wins the 1st half with ball movement and fast break points. Second half Conner struggled scoring and Lloyd kept it close. Israel was the difference for Lloyd hitting big shots and Lloyd did a good job fighting over screens and not giving Conner open looks. Lloyd wins the 2nd half and OT out scoring Conner in the 3rd, 4th and OT quarters. 
 

Game was tied with 14 seconds left in regulation, Coach Otte decided not to call a time out and Lloyd’s defense holds with a block on Hamiltons shot attempt. 
 

Lloyd takes the lead in OT, Conner battles back and gains the lead. Kramer steals the ball and instead of pulling it out he goes up against 2 Lloyd players, slips turns the ball over and Lloyd never looks back. That would be the last lead for Conner. Conner had a chance to tie with two failed 3 point attempts with the last being blocked by Lloyd again. 
 

Hamilton and Campbell played well with Campbell doing a nice defensive job on Walker. Kramer and Lohr seemed to have off nights even though Lohr had a big 3 in OT but couldn’t really get much going tonight. 
 

Llyod slowed the game down and when needed scored.  Walker and Israel stepped up, congratulations to the Juggernauts. Conner now will prepare for the winner of Ryle and Heritage and more than likely will play Cooper in the championship game looking to secures Conner 4th district title in a row (which I believe has never been accomplished by any 33rd district team). 

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣  points. Jeremiah Israel received his milestone award last night. The senior guard is averaging 22.5 points and 8.8 rebounds per game this season. 

Congratulations Jeremiah, welcome to the club! ?

EXACTLY!! There may be favorites but NOTHING is guaranteed in the 9th! It’s why the game is played.
