I got home late after the tourney and had Church all day today...
sorry for all of the JBS fans on here that were waiting to hear my thoughts.

Great game for anyone that was there!
The atmosphere wasn't anything like the Hazard/Perry game but it was definitely something special.

Both teams played their heart out and Justice had every Perry fan holding their breath and having flashbacks from three years ago when they got "Tate Cox'd".

Perry has played two games back-to-back where they played as a team and after blowing out Hazard with Johnson not registering a single point and only one rebound and Cornett basically sitting an entire half....you knew when they got it all together they would be special. For 3 quarters and 6 minutes we saw what they could do - but in 2 minutes we saw how quickly Justice could take over.

He was 2/7 from the field going into the 4th quarter and he was in single digits in the scoring column - He ended with 32 and he was 7/10 from the 3 point line.

There were two mental mistakes that stood out for me in this one that lost it for Knott.

1.) Intentionally missing the free throw in a 2-possession game. Especially when those refs were so trigger-happy on 5-second calls. If Knott would have had a shot to tie the game there is no doubt in my mind that we would have seen OT.

2.) The screen that was set to get Camron open on the inbound pass under Perry's goal. Why on earth do you set a screen right next to the end line? You're pressed for time and even if something disastrous doesn't happen you're putting your ball handler in a spot to get trapped on the baseline. I just thought it wasn't a smart decision to set it, a bad decision to go around it and a bad decision to throw the pass like that.
All in all it was a great game...
and because of Knott's courage at the end of this one...
I will refer to them as Knott County until the end of the All-A

Agreed, that was a back breaker.
