[The Weatherman]

I was in the gym and watched the game. Justice excelled with his game and provided leadership as he always does. I was disappointed with Hall in the first half with his conditioning and lack of attacking the basket. In the second half, he was a different player. He was in attack mode and played smart. This provided more balance for the Pats. Knott still fails to use a bench to provide short rest breaks for their starters. I thought Trinity played an exceptional game from start to finish. They used their bench as if it was a revolving door. Also, Trinity passes the ball better than any team I have watched. They make the extra pass that destroys most defenses. Spalding is a high quality player. I'm not sure he broke a sweat in the first half. He can put the ball on the floor, plays good off ball defense, and finish at the rim. Like Ballstar said, we have only seen a small portion of West. That kid can score. Not taking anything away from the Patriots, I believe that Trinity will be the dominant team in Kentucky high school basketball this year. And yes, I am a Patriot fan. It is what it is.
