[Black Bear Cuz]

Clay has a strong team for sure with the likes of Smith, Farmer and Wolfe. Those guys play physical and with a lot of confidence. HC scrapped and fought and shot the 3 pretty well tonight to stay in the game with a really good team. HC has got to have more production in the paint to have a real chance to beat a team like Clay IMO. It was a real treat watching our two point guards (Bumgardner and Carmical) along with their teammates turn up the intensity on defense in the 3rd quarter and cause some turnovers that led to a big HC run that tied the score up heading into the 4th qtr. Unfortunately for the Bears the Big 3 of Clay took over in the 4th in impressive fashion and closed the deal. A lot of things to be excited about as an HC fan moving forward, these guys are playing hard for their coach and each other and it's fun to watch!!! Keep up the good work Black Bears and maintain that committment to excellence and things will only get better........
