Kingston 54, Oliver Springs 48

In a game nobody seemed to want to win, Kingston survived a marathon third quarter that saw the teams combine to shoot 45 free throws to win. Kingston could never put the game away as they missed 12 4th-quarter free throws. OS also hit 4 three-pointers in the 4th.

 

Score by quarter (yes, it really was 15-12 at halftime)

Swamp, did any individual players stand out for their teams? Anyone playing against Oliver Springs this year should be ready to shoot free throws. If they are behind in the fourth quarter, they will foul every time you touch the ball. The Super 16 games were on time every night until OS played and turned it into a foul fest. Still, they do have a lot of talent and will be a dangerous team come tourney time. Who made their schedule and what were they thinking? Wow. No wonder they have a poor record, their playing the toughest schedule of anybody in the East....

I'd say the schedule was made with the girls' team in mind. Ringley (23) and Fairchild (22) both had 18. LaRue Cook had 16 for the Yellow Jackets.
