Catholic @ Stone Memorial

[QSouth89]

Congrats to Catholic. Good luck vs. AC. Should be a great game.

 

Before the Irish can think about Anderson County, they have to play the improving CAK Warriors. According to knoxsports, the Irish are to selfish and don't pass enough so their work will be cut out for them on Tuesday.

From what I've seen, they seem to be alot less selfish than the last couple of years. But, you are right, don't look beyond CAK. I think if Catholic can stop Naylor, they will be fine.

Catholic 52 Stone 51, so much for predictions.

 

Happy to be wrong. Did they tackle Taylor for the Irish to get the call? Was it a stupid foul?

Tackled him at halfcourt with one second left.....how do you catch, shoot and get fouled in the act with only one second...amazing finish!

Shouldnt have even been in the position...stone missed several clutch free throws and a lay up down the stretch...great win for the Irish though

Stupid isn't the word for it. It was probably the most absurd foul I've ever seen. Given the position he was in the ball had virtually no chance of hitting the board, much less going in. That's what you get though when you have a football player in that kind of situation. Aside from that, though, it should've never come down to that. KC gave Stone multiple opportunties to win the game in the end. They just didn't want it, is all I can say. Their play in the last quarter had the smell of a mutt dog's as$. Their play always seems to go down about this time every season. Stone is a very talented team this year, but they're going to have to pull their heads out of their butts if they want to have a chance to win district.

Catholic was 2 of 8 from the free throw up until the three that won the game. Thats how to be clutch. That kid knew the game was over as soon as he stepped to the line. Stone seems to be missing "that kid". I wouldn't trust one of our kids to make three free throws with no time on the clock down by two. Congrats to the Irish and good luck against AC. Go get em!!!

HMMMM... maybe that's what's missing at Stone. Maybe those boys need to be believed in. Maybe their coaches need to believe in them, maybe the boys need to believe in themselves. Maybe that's the one little thing those boys need to get them to the top. Come on folks, I would have believed in any one of those boys had they been placed on that line.

I've gotta say...i saw the game and that was one of the greatest finishes i have ever seen in any kind of game. And talk about clutch and pulling through in a huge district game. Broussard stepped to the line and swished all three like he had done it a thousand times. He didnt look nervous at all to me. The play was amazing as well. Williamson to Broussard over two Stone players and getting the shot off and getting fouled. Wow and of course a huge win for the Irish. Congrats to Mr. Clutch and Catholic.

Go Stone!!!

The last time that selfish Irish team played the improving Warriors they won 77 to 40. Must have been a fluke that the Irish had 24 assist that night. As for the Stone game, it was a really good game that went back and forth. Catholic had an opportunity to put the game away as well, but missed 2 layups, a couple of put backs, and multiple freethrows. Both teams played hard it should be a great district tournament. It's a shame the T$$AA is breaking up this league. If you could leave Catholic and Anderson Co. then add a team like Alcoa, it would have been amazing next year. Oh well, good luck to Stone and the rest of the district teams this week.

Stone failed to play hard in the second half. Catholic is better than Anderson County. CAK, their record speaks for itself.
