I was surprised by this game. Perry just let Knott control the pace and if they meet again, it won't be close. Knott appears to have internal problems but it didn't show this game. The Haddix kid is a nice ball handler and seems to have matured since last season. In my opinion, he should be the primary ball handler and he's shifty with the ball. Slone needs to work on his ball handling speed and protecting the ball, game appears to be too fast for him but he's a decent shooter. Being a Dore fan, I have respected King as a coach and he is very disciplined. I talked to a couple of fans at the game and the parents are upset as well as players over the season. King can't make free throws and layups for the players period. Same as Hoskins can't. These were never issues before but now they appear. Not being mean but players can play or they can't. Sort of got old hearing the complaining and murmuring all season when Knott has a great coach and has been a top program for several years. Several tried this with Hoskins too and a great coach plays the best players. Mullins didn't sniff the floor at Perry hardly so the kid must be working hard in practice but the game didn't show that. Shepard is a nice player and the Slone forward needs more shots. Knott played us well, wish Fatpat and his team the best.
