This was the best game I have seen this year, by far. Strategy played a huge part for both teams. Feldhouse’s plan was to go inside to Cozart every trip down the floor. Hicks’ plan was to put as much pressure on the Central guards as possible. Central guards are suspect ball handlers and they have no bench. Hicks also brought Moreno outside a lot in the 2nd half to bring Cozart away from the lane so the SC guards could penetrate. Hicks also sped MC up by running the break at every opportunity as well as turning them over on defense.

The game was won in the 3rd quarter when SC out scored MC by 14 points. Moreno did a great job on Cozart.

Let me tell you Cozart is a MAN. Western got a good one. Overall, both teams, especially Cozart and Moreno played great. It was quite a battle down low.

Now the bad, the 9th region officials were horrible. Several calls were comical at best and larceny at worst. It’s been a long, long time since I have complained about officiating, but I don’t feel I could accurately describe the game without at least mentioning it.

You won't find a better officiating crew in the state. Didnt see the game, so Im not commenting on that but those 3 officials are some of the best in the state. All 3 have championship experience. The state can't provide a better crew than that, hands down.
