I’m not dismissing the fact that SL was dealing with several of their players battling the flu, including Cromer. I think a healthy South squad does win that game by double digits again. The talent level at Harlan has been better the last few years, so to say that Akal did a tremendous job is an overstatement. They finished 13-17 this season and lost several tight games because he basically rolls it out and does not adjust. A lot of the local fans are really disappointed in watching him continue the same mistakes game after game, year after year. Just a few weeks ago, they basically lost the same way to Harlan County. They lead by 14 with about a minute left in the third, and lost because he just sits back and watches his guys fire up threes. They took a couple late in last nights game they had no business taking...that’s on him. It’s hard to believe that you have several guards that are good ball handlers and you can’t protect a 10 point lead with a few minutes left. Disappointing season, if you ask me.

This is quiet comical, sounds like some sour grapes. I sure haven’t heard any grumbling, on a lot of excitement for what the future holds. Started 1 freshman and 3 Sophs, I feel pretty good about where this is headed. Oh yeah, this team did not have a bunch of great ball handlers . Really u have 1 with 1 other one that is decent. Did we choke up last night, probably so. Started playing not to lose instead of playing to win. That’s okay, we will learn from it and move on. With 2 kids that have size coming in next year, this team will be a lot of fun to watch. See ya back at The Arena next year
