Hardwood12th

I didn't think guard play was the issue. Again, it was freethrow shooting and IMO substitution patterns.

Sounds like this one was all that it was expected to be. This region is a complete toss-up. :argue:

Anderson Co. 65 Mercer Co. 62 Mercer Co. 15 12 17 21 62 Anderson Co. 16 13 13 20 65 Anderson Co. (4-0) -- Penny 21, Jenkins 8, Wolford, Ruggles 12, Humphries 4, Russell 18. Mercer Co. (1-3) -- Patterson 5, Dedman 13, Ray 4, Honchel 1, Taylor 9, Yeast 4, Myers 6, Cinnamon 19, Banks 1.

Lincoln Co. in a close game. Only because it is being played on their home turf!

I didn't see all of this. Looks to me this years team has a much better attitude and team chemistry than in the past several years. In the two games I attended, I thought all the players were working hard on the floor and I haven't seen anyone play the blame game. I must not be paying attention:sleep:

Mercer basically plays with four guards and Taylor. There is no "power forward". I think bad freethrow shooting is what has cost Mercer from being 3-0, not bad decision making.
