Same thing every year from BL and their fans. Coaches fault. Maybe they just have a few athletes and that's it. More to basketball than being able to jump. I don't see them as a Top 5 team talent wise when in the last two years that talent under achieves and don't have a significant win under their belt. Before the year started many local media outlets had BL as a darkhorse and I just didn't see it. These claims where based on a few summer ball games and that's it. You don't win district and Region titles in summer ball. BL now has missed the Region tournament for the 6th straight year. Until they beat someone of significance or even make the Region tournament I can't say they are even Top 8.

I like some of your comments and disagree with some. BL has to win the district before they get mentioned in the Top 5 in the Region. Do they have the talent? YES. Did the both coaches and players make mistakes? YES. Did players not execute in the final minutes of the 4th and OT? YES.

The bottom line is until this team gets stronger both physically and mentally they will not win. We do not play fundamental basketball. We do not block out. Don’t play good defense. We don’t execute our offense. We have lost the last two games (Phelps and Pburg) for these reasons above.

The good thing is BL returns everyone for next year. The majority returns for two years. Our players and parents need to quit complaining and hit the gym and start preparing for next season. There is no reason this team should be buying tickets to watch games at the Expo.
