Very good game. Very smart to foul by Fairfield at the end to kill time

Byesville Meadowbrook beat John Glenn 58-47.

So the Regional Matchups are set Columbus Eastmoor vs Fairfield Union and Byesville Meadowbrook vs Vinton County.

Me either. That's why I'm hoping to hear some thoughts from others.

They have one common opponent in independence. Fu beat them at their place by 17, and EA beat them 3 times. All 15+ games. EA also beat South, and lost to Springfield by only 3 and Westerville south by only 10. I don't know what kind of size they have, but I watched some of their game vs south on periscope and they're really athletic.

[Falcon01]

One area fu will have a massive edge, will be in the crowd. EA will bring very few people and I'd assume most at the convo will root for the SE District team in FU.

[Raider6309]

I know they have a 6'4 guard that is crazy athletic. FU's size could be the great equalizer

[Falcon01]

I didn't realize MT had 9 seniors. That's a big class

was close to going in for the win

Also very smart by MT to throw the long pass from the half court sidelines to near the basket to gain some ground when it was tipped OB by FU. From there they set up a very good play for a trey to win that missed and the rebound went out near half court where a fling surprisingly was near to going in.

First, congratulations to the FU Falcons. Good luck the rest of the way. MT coaches lost this game by trying to spread the floor and run time off the clock when there was still 4+ MINUTES left in the game!! They have tried to do this many times this year and the same things happen every time, they start turning the ball over or they take bad shots that let the opponent get momentum and tie the game or take the lead. That's what happened AGAIN yesterday. MT is at their best when they are playing fast, not slowing it down. It looked to me like FU was looking a little fatigued at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th qtr. I saw guys with hands on their hips, taking deep breaths and one or two with hands on knees. I thought that if MT continued pressing and keeping the game fast-paced, they would've eventually worn out FU. But, when MT started stalling I think it gave FU time to catch their breath and finish off the game.

Smart coaching move by FU to use their fouls to run down the clock at the end. Be honest with me Falcon fans, how many of you thought that last shot was in? The FU section had a better look than I did because I was sitting on the corner and didn't get a good look at the trajectory. I didn't think it had a chance when Tyree heaved it up until it rattled in and out, it was a lot closer than I ever thought it would be.

Did anybody else hear the, how can I say this to be politically correct....let's say plus-sized lady in the purple shirt, sitting about half court on the FU side yelling at the ref and telling him she was "going to punch him in the face". We were laughing so hard at her, she was pretty pissed off at the refs.
