Congrats to Deming. They played their hearts out for 32 minutes. They probably played the best game of their year tonight. Good luck tomorrow.:confused:

 

Have to agree here.:thumb:

I don't see where it is so unbelievable. Deming has a solid team and they play hard and never quit. Maybe you are just a blind butterfly!

 

:notworthy:

Congrats to the Devils. Always a good night when the Stangs go down.

 

P.S. Coach Code shook EVERYONE'S hand.

Congrats to Deming. Being a Brossart fan my entire life, this one hurts. But i would like nothing more than to see Deming continue on and represent the 10th.

 

Best of luck to Deming in the finals tonight.

Hilarious!!!! Brossart overlooked them and that is what happens when you do this!!!

Lest you forget, Deming beat Brossart one year ago in the Bracken County Holiday Tournament 56-54. These are primarily the same two teams a year older, wiser, more experienced, and the Mustangs without Stortz, Ridder, and Hertzenberg who all factored in the 2008 game, and Brian Wolfer, our only viable big man substitute, who is out with a broken foot.

 

There is nothing hilarious about it. When not self-destructive, Deming has the ability to be a quality basketball team. The King twins are blue-chippers and Grause gives them a nice presence in the paint.

 

IMO the difference in this game and the one back at BBHS earlier in the season was 1) the play of Caldwell and Mitchell who didn't succumb to the Mustangs defensive pressure as they have in the past 2) with Rieger and Kremer having to play defense conservatively in the second half and no Mustang big man available to come from off the bench, Kyle King's ability to take it to them, and 3)gambling and winning on the gamble of daring our perimeter shooters to fire away over the zone defense in the first three quarters. I personally felt that we were a 3-ball away from blowing open the game on a couple of occasions, but went 6 of 23 from beyond the arc, allowing the Devils to control the defensive boards (and often the offensive boards) keeping them in position to win the game.

 

We didn't get to where we are by overlooking people, and we certainly didn't overlook Deming. Listen to our opening comments on our broadcast and you will hear nothing but respect and apprehension about our match-up with Deming. We kniew it had the potential to be a heavyweight fight and it turned out to be just that.

The story in thday's Maysville paper said that all 5 Deming starters each played all 32 minutes. No subs.

I enjoyed listening to your broadcast. We have nothing but respect for the defending Champs of the All A 10th Region team. It was a great game by both teams.

There's no such thing as a sure thing, and there were a handful of us who felt that our Mustangs were vulnerable against this Deming ballclub.

 

With the absense of Brian Wolfer we had no recourse but to go small should Rieger, or as happened tonight, Drew Kremer, get into foul trouble.

 

With all that being said, Brossart certainly had our chances. We led by 9 points with five minutes to play in the game, when Kyle King put his team on his shoulders and by scoring 12 points in the final stanza, carried the Black Devils into the championship game of the 2009 10th Region Tournament.

 

With the win over Brossart, Deming earns the opportunity to play Calvary Christian in the finals on Saturday night, and the Mustangs' six year skien of 10th Region "A" Titles comes to an end.

 

Credit a HUGE turnout of Deming supporters, and as the game wound down, everybody except the Mustangs friends and family crowd, had joined forces in rooting for the Black Devils against the six time "A" regional champs. Everybody loves an underdog, and they had a good one to cheer for tonight. Watching the Deming fans react at the final buzzer made me proud to realize that we are still a big win, and it really means something to the teams capable of knocking us off.

 

Sweet Pete - Your boys acquitted themselves well. It had to be a great night to be a Deming fan!

 

Congratulations to Coach Jamey Johnson and his Black Devils, and best of luck in the Saturday night championship game.

Thanks for your confidence but we still got to play the game tonight.:thumb:

Congratulations Deming, win tonight and I'll be in Richmond to see you. :dancingpa

I'm not a big fan of the class "A" tourney but, good luck to you guys in Richmond.

A blind squirrel will find a nut every now and then. Unbelievable!

 

Have you paid attention to Deming at all this year? They were close to Brossart in their first game untill the middle of the fourth, and then Brossart pulled away. All of Brossart's fans knew this was going to be a tough game, and were apprehensive about it. Acting like Deming is a low class team makes the Mustangs look as if they didn't come to play, which I doubt happened.

 

The unfortunate part with this year's Mustangs is they don't have a big man right now, especially with Wolfer out, and if the shots aren't going down against a good team, they're succeptible to a loss...

 

Deming is a solid team, and I'm sure that if they pull it out tonight, they will completely appreciate the All A State and everything that goes into it, and that's what its all about. Try telling them its not a "real" state tournament.

 

Keep your heads up Mustangs, you didn't get this one, but there's still two more that you guys can get...
