Congrats to X!

 

Called this one- one guy can't beat a team!

Great effort by both teams.

Wow I was wrong on this one.

 

Congrats Tigers.

Great game. Calling one is one thing, but this was a great game with a last second shot. BTW, the Flyers are not a one man team. They play great defense and have some young guys who are growing up. Congrats to St. X.:thumb:

I agree with you. Very difficult for one guy to beat a team. I figured this one would go down to the wire.

 

FC jumped out to a nice lead first half. St X implemented the old "box and chaser" on Hall late in the 1st quarter as no one individual from X could guard him.

 

I think FC was up about 6 at the half. In the 3rd Hall had to exit to tape an ankle that he tweeked. Immediately X took advantage with some hard half court traps and pulled near even.

 

The 4th quater had FC maintaining a one to three point lead until X tied the game with 7.1 seconds left. At this point St X was in the full court press with no one guarding the inbound and two guys sandwiching Hall to prevent him from getting the ball. FC calls a time out to set up an inbounds play. The play was for Hall to run out and throw to him over top of the press. Apparently the X coaching staff had their team prepared for this senario and had two safety's playing deep. Hall went up between two defenders to get a fifty-fifty ball and there was contact. He fell to the ground losing the ball to an X player with 4.1 seconds left and the game tied at 68-68. St X calls a time out.

 

Credit the X coaching staff for getting their team in a position to get a last second shot for the win. X inbounded the ball from the backcourt to (I think #15,not sure), he dribbled to just inside the three point line and threw up a "Hail Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee......" with 0.1 seconds left and banked it in for the win.

 

Great ball game, FC had their chances to win the game, but credit the St X coaches as well as the players for pulling this one out.

 

Congratulations to St X and good luck against Madison Central!!!!!

FC held up to 17 point leads in the first half. Hall played well in the first half, but there were notable contributions from Jennels, Meyer, Bell, Burton and Samples. I thought the second half, Hall would take over during the tougher minutes, but he missed a lot of the third quarter after spraining an ankle, and appeared drastically limited in what he could do in the fourth quarter...compared to his usual game. Otherwise, FC still had chances to win, but couldn't seal the deal...then a bad no call and a Hail Mary and they lose.

Great job X!! Keep it up! :thumb:
