To be fair, Hurley was missing two kids due to death in the family. I'm not sure who one of them was, but I k ow the post player would have made a difference. Andy wouldn't have been nearly as effective and efficient and the Waynick kid accounts for a double-double every game. Neither team played their best basketball.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Gate City as they have a very good team this year. Even a Hurley team at full strength, second best team in the region or not, is a team that Gate City should beat.

Also, I'm not sure Hurley is that much better than Twin Springs. I know they weren't at full strength, but they aren't very athletic at all IMO. They play extremely well together, but if they get in a track meet with the Titans it could be the end of them.
