Nothing against Evangel Christian but I would love to see Harlan Co. and Lyon Co. in the finals.

Big win for Lyon. And that has been the knock on GC for the last couple has been guard play. I will admit I am surprised though. Congrats to both teams!

GC loses only two seniors from this squad, twelve and a half points per game between them.

Yes and the big Orem kid who is just an 8th grade will easily step in and take Godfrey's place.

Crickets from Moreno - saddled with four fouls - and Dawson in the 4Q, aside from a Moreno free throw. Crossing could get away with that against lesser teams. Lyon County is a peer.

I thought he Moreno hid a little bit the last 4 minutes of the game. imo

Also, Burrell and Dawson combined for 5-21 from the floor and 1-10 from 3.

I would also say that most would have thought going into this game that if Travis Perry goes 7-19 from the field and 4-11 from 3 that Great Crossing would win by double figures.
