Thanks to Dave Walls - WSET - for the photos

Good game. GW seemed to play way too conservative. They should have penetrated more. PM won the battle of the 50/50 balls also. GW played nervous while PM looked calm on the court. JMOs

I agree - the younger, more inexperienced team showed no nerves near the end - they will be back again next year!

 

[fightingblues]

GW did not use their bench well at all. At times GW had no speed on the floor. Hats off to PM's coach and their girls hustle. Perhaps next year GW's coaches will learn how to use their bench and get an assistant coach that has actually played the game and not been cut in HS.

[SWVAObserver]

Doesn't GW have female coach that sits the bench that was pretty dominant in college basketball?

 

[2kings4]

What bench? Some of them seemed scared to shoot the ball, really were a nervous bunch.

 

[AntGZee]

2kings4, ur 100% rite brother. GW seemed content passing it along the perimeter.

They have some talent, got a good taste of it last year and I think they are ready for another run at it. Time will tell.
