Final 63-57. Similar to the game last year the Cadets got in a huge hole and just couldn't overcome it. Played with a ton of heart had it cut down to 3 trailed by as many as 15. Cadets made a ton of big 3s but that 16-4 1st Qt killed them. Boswell 34 points he was a stud. Still think the Cadets have a nice team going into Friday. Play Shenandoah on Tuesday.

Carter Lang another big game 17, Justin Anderson 13, Layton 11 , Kiefer 14 so they were pretty balanced.

Well, judging from the final score, the referees and the clock operator and the janitor and the concession stand operators did their jobs right.

[EasternDspy]

I don't know actually Boswell made a buzzer beater 3 in 1st that shouldn't of counted and I also heard that in 4th they missed a ton of what should of been over the backs on Magnolia. That being said I think they are the better team and a game like this makes you better.

[Big Blue]

Boswell was the difference. FF was much better than I thought. Played physical and their offense is fun to watch..screen after screen. They are well coached and this game will help Magnolia too. Props to FF.

[Big Blue]

We need to schedule home and home in regular season.

[EasternDspy]

Magnolia and Fort need to play in all sports.

EasternDspy:

No complaints about the officiating??

The refs we had for the next game (4A: Meadowbrook 65, St. Clairsville 52) did a fine job. Matt Hisson, Butch Minkemeyer, and Jim Sperlazza. And I am not saying that just because we won.

[EasternDspy]

The refs were not why the Cadets lost but I don't think the 3 at the end of the 1st should of counted. Also Magnolia was shoving big time on the 5 or 6 offensive rebounds in the 4th. Other then that it wasn't terrible.

[Big Blue]

Were you even there? You talked earlier about hearing about over the back and now you are saying we were pushing? Good stuff.

[EasternDspy]

I listened on the radio but they talked about it and they are normally pretty unbiased.

[Big Blue]

Yeah right.

[EasternDspy]

What was your opinion on the offensive rebounds at the end?

[Big Blue]

Doesnt matter. Maybe if you were there we could talk about moving screens built into your motion offense that never get called, but since we won , and you only saw the game through your radio speaker, what's the point.

[Big Blue]

Just think it's funny that you are giving referee critiques based on what Homer radio guys are saying. You missed a great physical basketball game. Lots of pushing on both ends and I was happy they let them play. If they wouldn't have Boswell may have scored 50 because they were bodying him hard off ball, FF can shoot it for sure and proved they can play physical. But like I said that's our style not yours and that's why we won. If they call it different it may have been a different outcome because I'm not sure we can win any other way.
