Congrats Estill;
This game was a lot closer than the final score says. Both teams played hard and both teams played really physical basketball without a lot of fouls.

Owsley started out strong and led by 6 after the 1st quarter, and only trailed by 1 after the 3rd. But they lost their composure in the 2nd qt. when they still had the lead. The crowd started chanting "air ball" after Evans missed a 3, and it seemed to get into his head. He forced some shots and, although he played hard, he never did get back in sync.
Once Estill got the lead early in the 4th qt. they spread the floor on offense and forced Owsley out of their zone, which had been effective all night against the Engineers. When Owsley went man defense, the Estill guards scored at will on dribble penetration.
Hoover and Cackling together had 37 points for Estill.

That was very nice of the tournament people to do that. Estill's player had a season ending injury in a blind-sided punch in a game early this month, and the 2 Owsley player's seasons were ended by a second concussion in a short period of time for one, and the other broke his hand last week.

way to go Neers! great effort keeping your heads in the game and not letting the pressure of being down early get to you. congrats to both teams on a well played game. trey wiseman fought hard under the basket and really stepped up when we needed him to. of course a great job by hoovie and cack taking the ball to the basket and finishing strong. good luck in the distict championship and into the regional tournament!!!
