Maplewood 43 - Heritage 37

Refs allowed Maplewood to be physical. Game.  Set.  Match.  Maplewood couldn’t hit a jumper, make a FT, or a layup. They dominated the boards and played bully ball. 

Heritage had 5 coaches on the bench, not one had a whiteboard or a clue.  You read that right... 5 coaches. Every time they get the win the coaches get all the credit and every time they lose the coaches blame the kids....not tonight! Coaches were trash. They earned that L.

 

If Maplewood could not hit a jumper, make a FT, or a layup how did they manage to score? Those are about the only three ways one can score in basketball. Moreover, how did they outscore their opponent. Maybe Maplewood was only able to make set shots, just not jump shots

16-55 FG - 29%

1-12 3FG - 8%

10-21 FT - 48%

I mentioned how they won... They out rebounded Heritage 32-30, but 21 of those were Off Rbds and they played bully ball on defense. 

There were 35 total fouls and 52 total turnovers in the game. It was sloppy and the refs role should not be understated. They allowed the bully ball, and as the more physical team... it was in Maplewood's favor. They scored 28pts off of turnovers. Heritage had 6.

In case you're wondering - Here's Heritage shooting stats. 

12-29 FG - 41%

1-5 3FG - 20%

12-18 FT - 67%

It was a 3 pt game with a minute left. Maplewood made some late FT's to pull out the win.

They lose 3-5 starters depending on the game, to include top 3 scores.

Wont know really what they look like until the end of the summer. Best guess is somewhere between 3-5 seed.
