I dont undersand Paintsvilles method of coaching when they avoid getting the ball to their leading scorer in the 2nd half. Green hit two 3's in the first half and then in the 2nd half almost every play that was run was opposite of him. Does the coaching staff really wont to win when they freeze out their leading scorer or are they just trying to build for next year, doesn't make any sense to me

What? He had 8 pts in the 1st half and then 9 pts in the 2nd half. The second quarter KILLED the Tigers. BL outscored them 18 -5. Other than that the Tigers outscored BL the other 3 quarters combined.

Paintsville - 18 - 5 - 8 - 12 - 43
Betsy Layne - 14 - 18 - 9 - 14 - 55

Paintsville - Green 17, Tiller 8, D. Caldwell 6, Slone 5, Sublett 3, Hall & S. Daniels 2 each (12/19 FTs)
Betsy Layne - Adkins 20, Roberts 10, N. Martin 10, D. Tackett 8, Hamilton 4, Maldinaldo 3 (9/17 FTs)

Betsy Layne ended up shooting 11 of their 17 free throws in the 4th quarter.

What I liked, is what I saw after the game. The Tigers were ticked at themselves for the loss. They didn't blame anyone but themselves. They know what it's like to win games now and they are starting to come together as a TEAM. They were down by 14 at one point and brought it back to with in 7. They didn't fold and never stopped fighting. Some people forget, that this is still a young team and they are learning, gaining confidence and getting better every game.
