Mertens Kid has some talent, starting to come around! needs to get stronger and get more experience. He's Travis cousin, father Rodger was a good player in his Day. I hope DL's coach doesn't choke like last year! He only got COY because of talent and because they felt sorry for the community. I'm just one person opinion. you have the best player in state shooting 18 footer the last 2min. of the game. A great or even good coach would have said "Travis, Post up! 3 things will happen 99% of the time.
1. get the ball spin and score.
2. get the ball, get to FT line
3. Miss, but because you're the best offensive rebounder in the state, good chance you get it back and do something with it.
I was shocked at the coaching job. make them take good shots, anybody can get a 18 ft stepback, and if you miss that shot. it's tough to get the best player in the state a chance to get an O board. 1st time they did it, maybe the kids didn't listen, next 2 or 3 times is squarely the coaches fault period!
What a GREAT community of Fans, They desired a better coaching job when the pressure was on. That's what separates the men from the boys in coaching!
