Bowman Co. was nowhere near 7 for 7 from the line, they missed alot of free throws that could've helped them at the end.

Actually, they were 7 of 7 from the line.  I just watched it on tivo because I missed it last night.  I think they should have challenged New Town more in the paint and I think they WOULD have gotten more free throw opportunities.   But good job New Town - I think defensively, they took BC out of their game a little and they seemed tentative at times.

yeah sorry, i was thinking of the Bottineau game, my bad.

Yeah, they did struggle from the line against Bottineau - only game they did, though.  Good shooters

Christine Miller kept New Town in the game. Bowman just couldnt shake them early because of Millers play. Then Taft came up big with three pointers twice in huge situations.
