I'm thinking a lot of these teams forgot how to shoot a jump shot, including Hurley. I think they had 1 field goal in the 3rd. quarter.

Maybe that was his plan, it worked until they changed it, didn't it?

Must be all this cold weather that we've been having. It's deflated the balls.

from all the games ive seen this year most of these kids dont have fundamantals. they have no idea how to use the backboard. it may sound crazy but i get real aggervated watchin.

Well no it didnt really work they still trailed the whole game. It got to the point that Castlewood had a 3 or 4 point lead and then just let St. Paul hold the ball until they turned the ball over.

2-2 was a tie after the first, down 2 at the half and 3 in the third...yeah, it worked pretty well. Those are a shot away from being tied or taking the lead, it worked well, then they went away from it..it shot up to a 13 point lead for Cwood, sounded like a well executed strategy.

Even if they stuck with it the 4th quarter they were losing. U DON'T HOLD THE BALL WHEN YOUR LOSING. PERIOD. THE OUT COME WAS THE SAME AS THE OTHER 3 GAMES AND GOOD KIDS LIKE PHILLIPS AND D. HILEMAN ENDED THEIR CAREER STANDING AROUND WATCHING T. HILEMAN dribble the ball. :2thumbsup:

By 3 **** points, C-wood had a better offense, anyone with half a brain knows keeping the ball out of their hands was a good idea...in ANY game, ball control is key. Hold the ball if the other team will let you as long as you can, something will open up. And I don't really care if so and so didn't shoot 20 times their last game, big deal, looks like their coach had them in a good position going into the 4th...but those great scores couldn't convert when it was time to

This was the closest game St. Paul had against Castlewood all year. If they would have played a normal game it would have been another blowout.
