That's true. The week of the tournament was Boyd's fall break and several key players were out of town. The previous week, Verity's 8th defeated Boyd in a closer game, 60-48 at Verity, with Boyd starting 2 seventh graders that had just played most of the seventh grade game immediately before it. They made it to the championship game with only 5 8th graders on the roster all season. Verity's 7th grade lost to Rose Hill, a team Boyd beat by nearly 20 points. There must be some talent in there somewhere.
