First, congratulations to Bledsoe on the best team this county has seen in 30 years or more. These young men played their hearts out all year, undersized almost every game, and I know alot of fair weather fans will say it happened because of Worthington, and he was definately a huge part, but could not have had the season we had without the rest of the players playing the way they did.
Second, the game against Dekalb, was an excellent game to watch, and the outcome did not diminish my respect for our team at all. To borrow an old cliche "Bledose left it all on the court", we had a few missed opportunities as did Dekalb, but up 1 at the end of the third, we definately had a shot and Dekalb played better than we did in the 4th, period.
Third, I agree with a post on here, the reason 8AA is better is because of the coaching. In no way is this meant to disrespect your players, but I realize how much difference a good coach can make.
Fourth, If I was from Dekalb I would secretly be glad how the game was officiated, as I am from Bledsoe I would have like to have gotten a few reaching/hacking calls as we were bringing the ball up the court. Not saying the outcome would have changed. I would also have liked to have made a few more free throws, cudos to Dekalb on the free throwing, I would guess you shot close to 90% from the line and championship teams must do.
Fifth and final, I could say good luck to Dekalb, but to be honest I dont care either way who wins another high school basketball game this year, IT'S BASEBALL TIME, BABY!
