From my experience, the adults hang on to this stuff much, much longer than the student athletes do.

I don't think anyone likes the score, but what do you do? It was 37-5 after the 1st quarter. I don't want a dominate team feeling sorry for me, and toying with me playing keep away if I'm on the losing end either. If Campbell County cut their scoring by 1/3, they still win by 45. If I'm on the losing team, I don't want to go into the locker room having lost by 45 and knowing they felt sorry for me. To me that's a bigger slap in the face than the score.

Congratulations, great accomplishment

We, by human nature, will usually spin things towards our favorite, or our own beliefs. Myself included...... I just a Camels fan, I don't know any of the Lady Camels players. or their families. Other than seeing them at games. So here's my take..... Everyone....... knows Mercer County has a very talented, well coached team with a very good, deep bench. In their wins this year, Mercer County has outscored their opponents by an average 33 points a game. That in itself is quit remarkable. As per this thread, Mercer's 4 strong threats, along with their premier player, Robins, finally getting her game back, as she put up 22, to edge out a 3 point win against the "limited Camels". The Lady Camels, with their "limited bench", and being at a big disadvantage with one of their key players in foul trouble most of the game, and spending several minutes on the bench. Which I believe was the X factor in this game. Lady Camels had a good chance to take the lead with :06 seconds to go, but missed the shot. Two outstanding teams, played their hearts out, Mercer County came out on top on this one with the win. I hope they get to meet again.

Congratulations to Mercer. Both teams left on the floor tonight. Mercer never lets up. Foul trouble hobbled the Lady Camels in the first half, as Schwarber was probably on the bench at least the equivalent of a quarter. Not having her to help break Mercer's smothering press defense for a good amount of time showed. Lady Camels made a ferocious come back at the end. They cut Mercer's 9 point lead with :27 seconds to go, to a 2 point margin and took a good 3 point shot that would have given the Lady Camels a 1 point lead has it gone through the hoop. Camels fouled after the miss, and put Mercer on the line for foul shouts. Lady Camels got the ball back with :02 left and got the last shot that fell short. GREAT GAME!!!!!! My numbers may be off by a point here or there, fast paced game. It was hard to keep up with.
