Whitley deserves a lot of credit. It looked like after the first quarter that South was going to run away with the game. Whitley County adjusted in the second quarter and went to a tight paint zone and completely shut down south's bigs. Then South proceeded to shoot 3 for 16 from downtown coupled with double digit rebound deficit and that's the ballgame boys. Whitley forced south to play slow down and it killed them. Both teams played decent "d", but to be fair south had a lot more unforced turnovers. Whitley did enough to make south uncomfortable and executed much better down the stretch. Whitley is better than most people think and will make some noise, but has a small margin for error with limited bench. South is much improved and still has a high ceiling but has to learn to play different styles. Good luck to both teams going forward.
