Great games in the 9AA District tournament! McAlister was tough in the 4th quarter for EH when she posted up on the inside. This created a big match-up problem for East that they didn't adjust for very well. I agree that East has lots of potential to get better over the next two years. How will EH be next year after losing McAlister? It looked like they have lots of other talent as well but I couldn't tell who the next star would be.
The Hume Fogg / CPA consolation game was also a great game to watch. Hume Fogg was down by 12 in the 3rd quarter but came back to win it by 2 in the last minute with Bagwell making huge free throws down the stretch. Hume Fogg's man-to-man defense in the 4th quater shut down the CPA's 3s and denied the ball to the CPA post, which allowed HF to catch up.
Also, I was looking at the district tournament bracket, and all eight games ended up being a match-up of a public versus a private schools. What are the chances of that? It's great to see the pariety in the league this year -- of these 8 games, the record ended up being an even 4-4 for public and private.
Good luck to all in the Region games!
