[Wyatt Earp]

Lyle was 9-19 from the field and wes Akers was something like 6-17. Slone took about 9 shots. Adam had 9 turnovers and 6 assists at the point and Brown had 7 from the inside position along with 10 boards. The Raiders have seen what it is like without E. Johnson. Being up by 20 at Johnson Central when he went out of the game at the end of the third quarter and getting beat in overtime was a preliminary of things in front of them. Johnson Central would not have beaten SF that night if EJ stays in the game. All of these players last night were playing JV ball last year or middle school and found the going pretty rough in many of the games. Getting beat is not good in any sport but not playing with intensity when you are learning the game at another level is not acceptable. Someone said that South Floyd was only a turned ankle( Ethan) away from having a terrible year and that is what they are faced with. Sometimes growing pains are a bit rocky for young kids. They have to play every play as if it was the final possesion if they are going to get anything done. It has been said before that attitude reflects leadership and this is about time to get after it for the SF coaching staff. I don't know if Johnson will be back or not but I do know that guys have to step up and play as they are expected. Being down by 4 points at the half to Jackson City was not bad, quitting in the second half and losing by 21 was.
