then you practiced for next year, hopefully you got the underclassmen ready to make the run for next year. Everybodies goal is to make the playoffs, then make a run at the title when you are in the playoffs.

I think once the playoffs start the players know that it's single elimination and they are gonna show up to play from start to finish no matter whose field they're on.

Bad example look at Mary's record
thewanderer wrote:basketball9. i think you are missing the point. , Wahp beat a team that now seems to have never deserved to be #2 given there injuries, mishaps and performances to date. this victory catapulted Wahp up high in the standings. with a few more victories against middle of the pack teams and a Shanley loss to Grafton, Wahpeton bacame #1. They met up with shanley at home and got beat. it could happen to any one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the east, including Grafton. Now Wahp has a toughter schedule with Grafton, Kindred and Lisbon left to play. It sounds like Wahp has a nice team but a victory over the precieved yet over rated #2 isn't much to hang your hat on. Lisbon, Carrington have beaten them by as much as Wahp did and a (1-3) Bealuh team beat them by more than Wahp did. JMHO

LeClerc is probably out for the season with a broken fibula, Suda has a torn up ankle and might not play for a game or two, and Jiskra has a banged up wrist and won't have contact all week. And starting running back Burns hasn't played in the second half of the last two games due to injury. There's kids on crutches and taped up all over the school. Injuries will play a big roll in how well Grafton is able to finish out the season. So far, so good in keeping the line healthy, because that is where Grafton is the shallowest for bench players.

To bad for Grafton. Three starters out? How did they all get hurt? That hurts them cause now they are the new number one which puts even a bigger target on their back. My guess is that they won't last long as the top team.
