Perry missing 20 free throws meant they played bad too. The game was at Mercy. Thats' a 10 point advantage right there.
But...Mercy is a good team, they also beat the unbeatable Manual a few weeks back.

Perry Central is as good as any team in the state. Do you honestly think Perry Central wouldn't beat Mercy by 10 or more if the game were played in Hazard. Mercy had what we call a home court advantage.

One of the biggest words in the English language. And it wasn't in Hazard. And neither is the state tournament.
