Final.

Crews from Conner was 11 from the floor including 2-2 from deep and 5-5 from the FT line including the 56th and 57th point. Never seen anything like it...

Tough ending to a tough season at Ryle. Great performance by #20 for Conner. 13-13 from the floor making tough shot after tough shot mostly on acrobatic 1-on-1 moves. "Never seen anything like it" is exactly right. Congrats to Conner and a great team effort comes up short for the Raiders. Two very exciting h.s. bb games in Union 2nite.

I totally agree with ya.

I shorted him 2 and typed it like a moron. 11-11 from 2, 2-2 from 3 and 5-5 from the line. 18-18 overall and 33 points. I was afraid I might have jinxed him when I mention he was 1 out from the perfect game after the time out before he went to the line for the lead. Just flat out unreal...

I bet you say this with tongue firmly in cheek. Surely, you remember at least one other time when a player had a perfect line in tournament play, including the game winning points.

The kid has had an incredible second half of the season. His scoring kind of came out of nowhere, though it's necessary with this club. :thumb:

I know I'm a homer but I'll continue to say it. Jimmy (and you can call him that when you're 9 years older than he is) Hicks can coach. His teams are always ready by tourney time.

 

Must be all of that Bill Warfield influence.

How did Erik Thomas do??

From the information i was told this morning Crews had the game of his life, and Conner wanted it more.

Coach Hicks seems to have Conner in the regional tournament every year. Way to go Cougars!

2nd Best coach in the district without a doubt.

Correct about Crews. Incorrect about Conner wanting it more. Intense game. Came down to a call where Crews lowered his shoulder to initiate contact with the Ryle player sliding to a blocking position on the sideline at mid court. Call could have gone either way with the game tied at 55 and 3-4 ticks left.

He can coach, I agree with you about that. To bad he left Ryle when he did, he has turned out to be really good over there at Conner.

Truthfully I feel that Jim Hicks might be one of the top 3 coaches in the region and when it comes to game planning he is #1. If he is given 1 team to focus on for a tourny more than often his team gets the job done.
