Giles County vs. Humboldt

GC, how long has Holt been head coach?

great game on both sides. Tyler showed his dominance until fouling out with about 50 seconds left. Bolivar showed me something tonight. They were down 11 w/ about 4 minutes left and could have easily given up. But instead battle backed hitting some clutch 3's. Some will say coaching beat Giles (possibly true) some will say it was Tyler fouling out (perhaps) I say it was missed free throws. Zack Holt (one of the better free throw shooters) stepped to the line for a one and one that would have iced it. It looked like he was nervous and short armed it allowing for the tying shot to be made with just seconds left.

Now this next comment isn't saying I don't wish Giles would have won but I don't think their TEAM really had what it would take to win the state. Sure they have a superstar but even they can't do it alone. Heck even Jordan had to have Pippen. Or was it Pippen that needed Jordan. (just kidding)

Good luck to Humboldt at the Boro and good look to Tyler in knoxville. Man I love the vols but they sure do stink.

He's been coach way too long. Had some great talent. Should have won at least 3 championships minimum.

Catfish, I will say that I agree with you. However, I am done bashing Coach Holt. In the heat of the moment he probably thought Tyler would keep his composure and lead the team to victory. I can't say that I would have been able to make a better decision, but darn...it seems so clear as I was listening to the game. Holt has always been able to select the right talent to get his team as far as their talent will take them. Many will say that if Coach Hannah was still sitting on that bench with Holt to offer some insight and suggestions...things may have turned out differently. Once again...Tyler, Channing & Zach have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Look at what they have accomplished together as a TEAM.

I would not be suprised to see another Humbolt vs Bolivar rematch for the 5th time.

At what level of the state tourney will this happen?

As much as we hear about giles co and all the talent they have you would think he would have 5 in the past 5 years

The reason I ask is that Giles Co. has produced quite a bit of talent in the past 10 years. Seems that they would have more to show for it.
