IMO, Fitzgerald is the most talented player in the 12 region to, but I to love the balance of this team. Pressure came hard on the second half of that game and when Fitzgerald went down with injury, SW didn't have flashing guard/forward to cut the middle for relieve. I heard SW coach begging his players to flash and help when the double and triple teams came but the team didn't listen and drifted down the court leaving the guards out to dry. The Reed kid came in and gave a great effort and good minutes. IMO, if there wasn't a injury, and you could have played Fitzgerald, Corder, Molden, Reed, and Latham the majority of the second half and won by double digits. This lineup would prevent all the defensive lapses that occurred every time against Mercer's all guard line up. I thought that was what got Mercer back into the game when SW's bigger players tried to guard out on the perimeter and Mercer broke it down easily. I seen on here where Molden took the responsibility for the loss but her an Corder were left out to dry against the press late. I am sure coach will adjust to that easily. SW wouldn't have won 10 games in any of the last 3 seasons if them two wasn't in the back court, so to say that SW has weak guard play is the dumbest statement I have ever seen on here. If SW gets healthy and Reed and Latham continue their stellar improv on play, I expect them to be right there in the hunt for a 12 region title.

That was a general statement only was in agreement with the poster who said the guard play was weak. He took responsibility for what he says is his daughter making alot of turnovers. I just said that if you have weak guards its hard to win. I would love to have seen the box score of who committed what......or the game film.
