Great defense tonight by the Blackcats on Stiltner. Great game by Steven Patrick. I called in the prediction if he had a good game, then the Blackcats would come out on top. He done exactly that and the Blackcats will face Shelby Valley Friday in the All-A championship game.

Congrats Blackcats!

First off, congratulations P-burg on the win!! I would however like to comment on the underlined part of your statement. Granted, the defense was good on Stiltner BUT how can you justify it when Stiltner came out of the game 3 minutes into the 1st quarter and didn't return until after the half? So basically, he played 3 minutes give or take a little in the entire first half of the ballgame. If he isn't in the game, how can you use your defense on him? Don't get me wrong, Phelps had the chance, actually came back and had it a great game going into the half, but too many fouls and a lot of missed shots cost them this one. Stiltner wasn't in the game the first half (with the exception of a few minutes) therefore wasn't a "threat".

I'm not bashing on P-burg what so ever, as they played a great game and wanted this one!!

Keep your heads up Phelps.... concentrate on the next one!!!
