Badman, I have to disagree with you. In all fairness, E.R. had a nice game plan, and they did a good job of defending Pikeville, Branham only had a couple of looks where he didn't have a hand in his face. Branham and Rowe hit their shots, period. Johnny didn't get a lot of good looks, and when he did, he was a little cold. E.R. played very hard, they just didn't hit the shots they needed. E.R. was in good shape at the half, but Pikeville made some nice shots, very contested, but they made them. Kosongo played his best game and tried really hard to stay out of foul trouble and not to make bad decisions. I thought the rest of the squad also played hard, it just wasn't enough tonight. Pikeville did what they needed to do to win. Congrats to them, no excuses! E.R. now has to get ready for the Region, and S.V. will tell you, you don't have to win the District to go to Rupp!
