Franklin Co at Shelbyville

[FCRebel22]

Great game last night in Shelbyville. Game was back and forth from the 2nd quarter on, with neither team getting more that a 4-5pt lead. Each team had multiple times to win in regulation and in each of the three overtimes, but both teams kept battling each other. Hard to see FC lose like that but I'm sure the Eagles would have felt the same.

 

Looks like the Eagle guards finally were able to help out Jarrell and Wilson offensively. I think both had 23, and their guards and ours did a good job with pressure considering both team were belly-up man for most of the game.

 

Lester finished with 33 for FC and couldn't miss in the 2nd half and Brown had 21 with Simmons 12. Nice to see our guards adding to the scoring column. I get the feeling, we are starting to gel better as a team and not lean so much on Lester overall, even though the offense goes through him. Before it seemed like we would get the ball inside to him and stand back and watch (like we did in the 1st half against LC). Now some are seeing the holes in the defense and getting to the spots for open looks.

 

Shelbyville was what I thought they were; pound it inside and hit the O-boards. They did a good job on the glass and their intensity was there. Thought we should have played more zone until their guards proved they could hit.

 

Should be interesting year seeing how all teams develop and improve going into the District Tourney. Anyone know what's up with Columbia? They got everyone back from football or are they just not playing well right now?
