Don't want folks to think I wasn't going to post the final. I just let the other dude highjack the thread.

Essex only manage to scored 11 points in the 2nd half !! The defense was a whole lot better second-half. Back at it tomorrow night !! Go Colonels

Congrats to Altavista. To my Trojans, nice run this year. Keep rebuilding. Those Trojans who are not playing spring sports, go hard in the weight room to get ready for football season.

Congrats to Altavista - a few notes
Well done to Altavista - they are as good as advertised - they can rain threes and have the big men to contend with as well - stop one, then what to do about the other and so on.
Essex played a great 1st half (great scheme, execution and personnel usage etc.). A-town came out on fire dropping threes and looking good and it was like "oh s--" but Essex played great and did not back down. AltaVista's crowd seemed a tad stunned. It was very exciting as with a great team like Altavista every possession is crucial. Going in, I felt if Essex can keep it close to the half, anything could happen. 29-29 at the half.
After Halftime - completely different story. Essex made the 1st basket to go up 31 to 29. Could we be witnessing one of the biggest upsets in recent memory?
Nope.
Altavista goes on a 20 to 2 run the rest of the 3rd quarter. Game over.
Great run by Essex for the Conference 43 title. Young team- next year could be very good.
Good luck to Altavista- Very well run organization that I observed - old school (nice) - nice folks - loved the opening festivities of the game - kick a---! plus, I liked the lay out of your athletic facilities, football, track, proximity to gym etc.- cool stuff.
Now, if Altavista can defeat Essex next year in Football and Basketball, then I'll really be impressed.....

2-3 Zone?
Is the paper wrong or did Altavista actually switch to zone in the second half? That is unheard of for a Coach C team. Has he been watching too much Syracuse basketball this year?

My fault NND, I didn't realize you had called dibs on this game.

Essex Strategy?
Lynchburg News had Essex switching to man to man in the 2nd half. Why would they go away from what was working. I saw Radford do the same thing in the state championship game last year and a close game got out of control pretty quick. You have to be extremely athletic and have quick physical guards to contain the Colonels in man. (ala Dan River and Spotswood). Pick your poison but for teams without great guard play.....you gotta zone em.
