That Heritage game was the only high school basketball game I've been to this season. What I learned: Haize is a loud dude.

Ha! I thought I saw you talking to Cameron. You should have said Hi. At least you could hear me, apparently our girls couldn't the first half! Hopefully the game was exciting for you.

Salem or Bassett at Salem Civic Center Fri or Sat. Once again, only 6 players. Hopefully we will have all 7 next game. Our Jr stepped up these last two games.

Sure you cant call up a couple girls from JV to fill the ranks out? if you get in foul trouble, only having 7 players could become a problem if you make a run in states

We've played our last 5 games, Seminole and Region 3 tournaments, with only 6 players. We did bring up 4 JV players but 1 quit, one just wants to watch another....well.... :? We did get1 in for 2 minutes today. The gap in not just the basketball skill level but the motor skill level between our top 7 and any player on JV is vast. We rolled the dice early, and have a25-2 record to back up the decision. Thankfully we don't have anymore '3 games in 5 days' stretches left. It sure would be nice to have another contributor or two but you go with what you got.

Fair enough...having a vast gap between your JV and varsity could be something you could discuss with the JV coaches in the offseason

I've been all over it since last night! They apparently press the whole game. But only on one half of the floor. Interesting concept. Apparently if you throw it long they won't fetch it but will bring it back!

Actally they are the Bengals. My nephew teaches there. I will instruct him to give the team extra homework all week.

I am not sure anything else could have gone wrong today and when that happens you usually don't win. We didn't. But my wife and I are still in love.

( if anyone knows of inexpensive warm places over available over Spring Break let me know! We need some alone time)

Final totals
25-3
Seminole District Champs (undefeated)
Seminole District Tournament Champs
Region IV Champs
Elite 8

That will all feel much better in a few days.

Thanks Flame and Shorty. I feel sorry more for the girls. At my age I realize these seasons are rare and need to be savored. When the dust settles they will realize how close they were and how far they could have gone and it may stung more. My wife and I are happy to have enjoyed the ride.
