Lets call it what it was, a loss.

Clay got all of the loose balls, Whitley couldn't throw it in the ocean.
It was eventually going to catch up to them.

I was glad to see how even the region was this year. Whitleys has some very good young girls all the way down into middle school, so they'll be fine.

I have to ask though, what did Whitley expect? Ive been rather supportive and quiet ever since Anderson left, but your going to hire the assistant of the guy that choked for 20+ years in region and expect anything different?

I would have liked to see what a really good coach could have done with this team over the past 4 years. These girls were really good. Smith never got into the groove like she has the last 3 years, call it play calling or whatever you will, but I think Whitley made a mistake going away from her in a lot of games. She will be sorely missed. Except for Heather Taylor, I don't know of a better player to wear a Lady Colonels uniform.

Congrats to Clay. They were well prepared and Burchell outcoached Jones from the tip. They got Craig in foul trouble, and his players were light out, especially from 3.
I wouldn't be surprised to see any of the four remaining teams win region.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember any second guessing at all when the new coach was announced. All the Whitley fans seemed happy.
