A very talented group of athletes from SP. I expect you all will be in the hunt again next year as well. As to it being an upset of the ages I'd disagree. Fayetteville is what I'd call a 10 pointer team. They raised their level (or lowered depending on your outlook) against the mid to upper level teams to win by 10 +/- 5. I think if SP had scored 8 more FC would have put another 6 on the board.
And as was said earlier in the year, this group of kids have played and enjoyed success going back to the middle school years (starting with this group of seniors they were undefeated for 3 years running with conference player of the year every year as well I believe). Sometimes kids mature differently, some players leave (and come back in this case), sometimes you get the lucky bounce or not, etc so nothing is a given. But for folks who have personally watched these young men play over the years its not as shocking that they showed up to play. And if it was luck or overconfidence or poor coaching decisions, well... you know I'll take the win that way too.
I'll also say a "Thank you" for the kind/positive comments from the SP fans on coacht. Grace during a loss is always commendable and appreciated. That speaks well of your people and program.
