Does Willard Fillmore still think that Ontario was trending up!? It's all about the schedule. My predictions for the opening round. Perkins over Vermilion by 65-46. Mansfield over Norwalk 65-61. Ontario over Clear Fork 59-52 Willard over Galion 72-54 Predictions for the sectional finals. Sandusky 77 Perkins 71 Mansfield Sr. 56 Bellevue 52 Shelby 66 Ontario 50 Willard 57 Lexington 56 I was close....Not sure how Willard almost pulled that off despite all the foul issues. Couldn't get the ball inbounds on OB under 2x was killer!

Willard had the ball score was tied. Had a bad inbounds pass ,, Lexington stole it went down and scored on a dunk .Willards inbounds,,,,Lexington stolen again. Guy got fouled missed the one in one, Willard got the rebound and got fouled Cam Robinson made two foul shots with 11 seconds to go to tiie it —Lexington came down got bailed out with a weak foul call ,,,kid made both shots Then Willard came down got an off balance three-point attempts by Dawson but he was off-balance and it was an air ball —game over.

Willard out coached at end of game. With 2 chances, couldn't get ball in bounds for last shot. On second try Lex Freshman stole the inbounds pass with his height and athletic ability and got a breakaway dunk. Then he drives the length of floor in closing seconds gets fouled at the rim and makes both foul shots. Dawson did not get a good shot at the buzzer missing everything.

Not sure I’d say they were outcoached, the corner along the baseline is a tough spot to inbounds from, especially when your height disadvantaged. Not a ton of options in that position.

Better defense set up than in bounds play twice. Big athletic Lex players surely was a factor.

Not outcoached ,,, out athleted maybe in that situation. Tough inbounds spot. Lex was so much taller and I think the Willard kid just didn’t have many options and it was stolen .

When a team is bigger at most positions than the other team, they definitely have the advantage in that situation. It was a tough spot to be in, especially for the person passing it in.
For Willard having two starters foul out, they had a chance to win it. Can’t ask for much more.

Valiant effort from the Flashes as they were severely undersized but hung in and dang near pulled off an upset .

Two tries. First might have been successful, but coach called timeout thinking it wouldn't. Used last time out.

Anyone watching this game had to be in shock at how poorly coached the minutemen are. The popcorn maker in the concession stand could have done a better job than the lex coach. To say they got lucky in this game is a huge understatement. No discipline and to be outrebounded by Willard and you have a 6'8", 6'7" and 6'4" player on your team, amazing. #21 for lex should have been on the end of the bench watching.

Want to make sure you at least give yourself a chance to get it in. Just a tough spot to be in there with the location of passing it in and the game situation.

Ask Coach Haas if he wouldn't MUCH prefer to have one of those big guys and 2 very good guards.

Next week is going to be some good basketball. Any of these four teams could end heading to BG. Semifinals are both rematches of games in the last few weeks with revenge on the minds of Senior and Shelby. My predictions: Sandusky 68 Senior 62 Shelby 65 Lex 61 Shelby 75-70 over Sandusky to advance

The play where the Lex player jumped out of bounce, ran behind scorers table and reinserted himself into play through the Willard coaches and referee. I didn’t see it in action, but had just saw the replay on the feed when it cut. My first thought was that a Tech was about to be issued, but with the feed being cut, I have no clue if those terrible announcers even discussed it, or if it was discussed on the floor. Thoughts on that?

And my Lord, who were those announcers?
Dawson is probably the best player on the floor and they had to flub his name 60% of the time. I started to wonder if they had Dawsons number listed as #5 or something.
Give me the announcer with the annoying voice from the WILL/GAL game. Ffs

Did the player make a reasonable attempt to get back on the court as quickly as possible? Honestly don’t remember how it’s stated in the rule book.

One announcer was Greg Collins , not sure of the other guy. Collins sounded like a guy doing “Lexington Television Basketball Network “ Making suggestions all game long on how to attack Willard’s defense etc.

Not how I would have viewed it. He jumped the Lex bench to save a ball. Instead of coming back on the floor where he exited it, he followed the on court action down the floor BEHIND the scorers table and tried to reinsert himself over top the Willard coaches, taking them out, and a referee in the process. It looked to me like that is what stopped play, but tough to really say because as that mess spilled onto the floor, the ball was maybe still in play, or had just went OOB(Willard Ball). I’d be interested in the replay. The replay in the feed was pretty bad. It’s one thing to try to save a ball and come back in a little down the way, but this player was full on sprinting behind the scorers table

I assume you watched on OH Report. I think OH Report focuses more on Richland County teams so they probably saw Lex play more than Willard. I only saw Willard on OH Report once this year. Plus, it's free so I don't think they are getting paid a lot for the gig. These are my observations about OH Report so, I hope some one corrects this if it's wrong.

I never even noticed that while watching it live last night. Just seeing it now, I could definitely see that being called a technical. That’s really interesting, that could’ve changed the game.

I used the link at wmfd, not sure where it took me. Honestly, I should be happy there were even announcers to complain about. And a score banner at the bottom. And in-action replays. Nothing shaves the top off a HS basketball experience quite like watching it online without announcers, not knowing the score.
