Can’t blame refs for a loss when your supposed to be the best. But losing Scherr seemed to shift the momentum. Watched this game plus the finals. Considering Highlands close score and holding Boyd to 61 points and from what I saw, it was coaching. Ryle seemed to never settle on a defense that would work. Highlands was steady the whole game, kept it close or was winning. Ryle was significantly more talented team than Boyd but for some reason let Boyd keep doing what they are great at, shoot threes.
Wheeler is a great shooter, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile, but for Miss Basketball I’m less convinced after watching her. She is very one dimensional. Her drives and floaters were below average and she lacks the height needed to finish well. She is not relevant on the boards. Had decent handles but didn’t see the floor well, just dribbled in circles a lot. She will not be able to do that at the next level. That being said, her team won the tourney and she can shoot as well as any girl I’ve seen in awhile. Certainly deserves to be in the conversation.
