Caldwell won 59-56

Not a masterpiece by either team but Caldwell advances.

 

Matt Fraliex had 30 but Caldwell struggled from the field, just 14 of 36, and was outrebounded 42-18. However, Caldwell outscored Hopkins Central 27-11 at the free throw line.

 

The Tigers play Madisonville-North Hopkins in Thursday's final. Caldwell hasn't beaten Madisonville since Travis Ford was the point guard — 22 straight losses dating back to the 1986-87 season.

The technical foul on Bell proves to hurt in the final margin. Did he actually say anything or did his gestures get him rung up?

I think it was leaping about five feet in the air and stomping both feet on the floor that did it (followed by a neat little spin move)

 

Actually, Bell was upset with a foul called as the Storm double-teamed Fraliex, but it was another referee who T'd him up.

 

Hopkins Central seems to be under the impression that the referees call a lot of touch fouls for Fraliex. Who am I to argue?

Fraliex is just joining the club that already includes Chris Sparks, Joey Davenport, Ty Rogers, Travis Ford, Phillip Cotton, and Josh Mack. :lol: :lol:
