Thinking and praying for you and your family.

Prayers for RW and her family.

Loretto vs Lawrence Co is a much bigger rivalry that Lawrence Co. vs Tullahoma. Yes, Tidwell was hurt at State and had to play a different style.  I understand your thinking, but I've seen all of these teams play a Lot this season.  Upperman is a great team, but they rely on a LOT of production from their Star player, Cobb.  Cobb would have had to dealt with Reynolds the entire game.  Reynolds limits every star player.  IMO, the only way Upperman beats Loretto, even with a limited Tidwell, is if they're able to get Corben in foul Trouble.  Even then, it would be a good game (not a blow out like some other haters mentioned earlier).   Alcoa, to me, is 10 points better than Upperman.  Loretto was able to knock them off with an injured Tidwell, in a physical game, where Reynolds was in foul trouble early.  Alcoa had this set up perfectly to take the 3peat, and Loretto was still able to pull it off.  Mind blowing to me because I wasn't super confident based on how things were playing out, but Loretto still pulled it off.

I disagree with this that foul count was heavily favored one way the whole second half. We weren't down bad enough to foul that much late. They were in the bonus the 3rd and 4th qtr. It was over 5 to 0 in fouls the majority of the 3rd qtr. One team was able to be way more physical the second half and the other was not. We had a bunch of passes to the paint where the upperman defender went through our player to make a play and no call. I wish it would've been called better in the second half. At the end of the day it is what it is. We made history for our school and had a great season. Upperman won and congrats to them! It was a fun tournament and not the ending we wanted but very proud none the less!

Every time I see or hear that saying it reminds me of the song “Civil War” by GNR.
