Congratulations to the Little Prexies and Coach Faust. This has been quite a season. Things are about to get tougher but with the way you're playing and what seems to be a bit of magic in the air, who knows where this ends up?
Good Luck Wash High!
Herb Pope is in the building. Someone should tell him to quit being a meat head and start using his abilities.
Did Washington really swich free throw shooter last game?
No. Washington did not switch free throw shooters.
In a play that happened right in front of me, Washington – leading 42-41, had the basketball. Mark Wise was fouled. The refs believed Nick Bryant was fouled. Bryant shot the free throws made both.
Final score, 44-41.
thanks mike for setting the record straight. i don't quite understand where all the hostility for wash high comes from but wha a shame. these kids work hard and play hard as well. they also lose with dignity. no one wants to give these kids their props but keep beating them down and to believe that children are out to win by any means necessary; what a crock. let it go and move on. no one comments so much when the refs make obvious and blatant calls against wash high but one call that was a mistake people act as if the world will end. get a life and move on.
Without Cortez Martin...it was a no brainer for Wash to win
