Not using as a excuse, it is a fact. Yes injuries do happen. Look at Scott Co and Richie Phares. Holmes may not be the state champs now if Phares had not gotten hurt. Injuries for Scott Co was a advantage to the 11th region teams and also could have made a difference in the state tourney. Just as GRC being injuried and Mason taking advantage of that in the second half. Not being 100% showed for GRC in the second half. Do you not think that Purvis would have made a huge difference? I hope that none of your team members are injuried this year, as you would be singing a different tune.

Injuries was a issue but the main reason GRC lost was because of their inability to handle the press. Purvis being there would have helped but he couldn't handle the ball either.
GRC dominated the first half because they handle the press in the 2nd half they fell apart because they made too many turnovers.
