Kudos to Cody Nickell on a great game off the bench. He played several minutes in the 1st half and made Elliott proud.
This was a good game and a good test for Elliott. If you have ever watched many Elliott games you would know this one very important thing. The shooting was cold and they were off, simple. It happens. I don't give credit to the texas team for that. It just happens. All teams have off nights on occaision. The Lions seemed in a daze the first half of the game. IMO, the second half showed some clarity and they played stronger as the crowd gave them even more support. There were some questionable referee issues but I won't go there for fear of being chastised publicly on BGP. If you were at the game you know what I mean.
Our team makes us very proud. We know how good they are. We know they are fun to watch and full of talent. In fact, at the game last night, 2 ladies from Louisville sat behind us. They know not a soul in Sandy Hook. They are not related to any of the coaches or players for Elliott. They love to watch good high school basketball, so they drove from Louisville, Ky to Myrtle Beach, SC to see the Lions play. They left with sore throats and scratchy voices due to cheering the lions on in this Goliath 1 - David 0 game. Thank you ladies for your presence and your spirit. Thank you team for once again making us proud.
