First, Clay was outcoached and outplayed in this game...period! North had a game plan and executed it to perfection. Sizemore and Shepherd were nearly flawless in their roles.
Second, Clay has the talent. They proved that in the first half of the season. Everyone was playing team ball, working the ball around taking GOOD shots, valuing EVERY possession, and playing "good enough" defense. I can't say that for the last half of the season. Soooo...what happened? Coaching?? Egos?? Parents?? Politics?? I say it is a perfect $hitstorm of all of those! Zero defense will get you beat EVERY TIME. Players were not held accountable for their defensive effort prior in the season. Not a lot of maturing went on amongst players. Shoulda, coulda, woulda....
