Did I hear correctly that Martin Co. won the 7th and 8th (because of forfeits on the 8th grade)?

Martin Co. beat Paintsville in the Championship Game today.
MC 47 Paintsville 42
Was a very good game. We had "Ts" and Buzzer beaters.
Paintsville was delt a blow when their Bigman Daniels was handed his 4th & 5th fouls before a 60 secs had even ticked off the clock in the 3rd. MC shot 28 freethrows to Paintsville's 14.
Paintsville cut the lead to 2 with less than 30 secs to go. MC came down the floor and only GOD knows the answer to this one. Why in the HECK did #15 fire up a 3 ball with 17 secs left? He made it.....But, if that was the plan...that had to be one of the craziest coaching moves I have ever seen. If the kid did it on his own and I was coach...he would have enjoyed the rest of the game (even if it went 4 OTs) from the end of the bench. Why would you take a risk like that in that situation? If he misses...You give the ball to Paintsville with a chance to tie it or win it. Just wasn't a smart move IMO.
But, Congrats to both teams. Paintsville played their hearts out today! Good job guys. Was a pleasure watching.

When you have a player like #15 you live and die with him. He took the shot on his own but if you knew him as well as I do you'd know that he would have just said "I was filling it coach". It was one of those shots were your going no no no, yes! My kids did a great job this year and I am very proud of everyone of them. I hope that they can help SCHS turn things around in the next few years!

Feeling it or not it wasn't a very smart shot.

Regardless of the shot or time. I'm sure the coach let him know that it wasn't the best desicion and the best thing about it is I bet it won't happen again.
