Saw the Grafton vs Langdon score, before I would have taken Grafton but now I think Thompson.

It looked like Thompson had a game plan to limit touches by Demers - I thought they did that well for the most part. Unfortunately, they got destroyed by great shooting from the perimeter. I didn't think Grafton had that option (at least to the degree they showed, anyway) and I was dead wrong. I agree that THS was working hard too, but GHS passes were generally to very open players, allowing a much better shooting percentage as most shots were not really contested. THS usually hangs their hat on defense - it was just strange, IMO.
I still expect a rematch unless Hatton-Northwood can take advantage of an inconsistent Thompson squad. If they play again, Thompson HAS to figure out a way to penetrate with some legit playmaking and passing, drawing some fouls would help a lot. I saw nothing like I saw in their game versus Kindred last night, with some nice drives, dishes, and finishes in the paint. Everything in the paint seemed forced and desperate - that includes their passing as well.
Credit Grafton, of course, for having some part in that.

When I do situations in practice and that happens I ask my kids, "Do we feel better that we lost by 1 instead of 3."
I don't know what was said in the huddle so I'm not going to put blame on the coach.

Don't you play to win the game? I guess my view is doesn't really matter if you lose by 1 or 3. I would rather go for a chance to tie the game and send it into OT.
