Final...

Great win for Boone against a tough Beechwood team.:thumb:

 

How much time did Romes miss?

Nice win for the Rebels. They'll need to pick up their play though or they very well might not even see the finals.

Boone never could get in much of a rhythm on the offensive side of the ball. Nice hard fought win against a scrappy Beechwood team.

Would you say Boone's offensive woes had something to do with Beechwood sitting in a zone?

Absolutely.

The officiating was outrageous. And if Romes would have played the whole game the Tigers would have won.

Explain?

Absolutely.

 

I'd think whoever Boone faces in the semi's (and potentially finals) may very well use this strategy against the Rebels also.

I would be very surprised to see Holmes play a zone.

Nice win for the Rebels, the Tigers gave them a great game, fun to watch!

Boone killed them the first game with the penetration and back door screens/cuts, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them play some match up zone if a rematch occurs.

First of all, hats off to Beechwood. They played with great intensity as you would expect from a senior-laden team. I had not seen them play this year. I would guess this was one of their best games of the year. The good news is, the Rebs found a way to win and was not to be denied. I would agree that it was good that the opponent was not a different team in red and white tonight. You don't always play 3 top-notch games to win a tourney. So, here's to a better game in the semis vs. the Birds. Should be a great game. Best wishes to all of the Beechwood seniors - they played their tails off.

How much did Romes being hurt and sitting a lot affect the outcome, if any?

How could a senior captain not affect the outcome of the game? Romes it a key defender for the Tigers and is one of the main keys to their offense with his penetration. If he didn't get hurt the Tigers would be playing in the semis.
