Mathews and West Point will kick off in about 10 minutes. I'll provide updates here. The game is also on Facebook Live at Blue Devils Sportscast Live

Mathews 12 West Point 11 end of 1st

Mathews up 25-24 at the half. Not much rhythm to the game. Lots of fouls being called

 

[WestPointCoach]

Thanks Mathews for splitting the tickets up 13-12 (sarcasm) like they are doing for state games. Sure would be good for WP kids to send a parent to the game. In a normal year this game would be held at a neutral site so technically Mathews is hosting but not really a "home" game.

Good game so far, both teams playing hard.

Mathews 43 WP 37 after 3

Mathews AD has to get on the mic between Q3 & Q4 to admonish their own fans for being too verbally abusive. Embarrassing, especially since it’s adults.

As for the game, Mathews has the momentum, up 6.

Man, if I was coaching a kid and he waved me off like that I might LOSE MY MIND.

[WP02alum]

Congrats to Mathews. Extremely talented team. Good luck in the state tourney!

Naw, CB won it last year.

Naw, CB won it last year.

My fault, you're right. I forgot Mathews lost in the regional championship last year. I feel like WP could have made some noise if it was like normal years and each region got 2 teams to states

 

[WP02alum]

Yeah, stinks for my Pointers to be runner-up in this off year where only the champ advances.

 

[WestPointCoach]

Good competitive game. Mathews handled WP on the glass, I think they had double digit offensive rebounds.

WP didn't get a big game from Layne tonight. He hit a 3 early, but I don't think he hit anything else other than free throws. I thought #20 played well for WP, although I'd like to see him down low more at 6'8. He will hopefully hit the weight room in the off-season

 

[WestPointCoach]

#0 had 11 threes for them in their 1st 2 games and took a total of 4 or 5 shots tonight. He finished with 6, #4 had 18, big kid had 6, #5 had 9, #20 had 11. As I said earlier WP got crushed on the glass and gave up a ton of 2nd chance points. There were very few easy buckets for WP and when your 3 pt shooting is cold (3 for 21), you have to find a way to get a few of those. Mathews looked like they had plan defensively and IMO combined with the domination on the offensive glass was the difference. Good luck to Mathews and KW Wednesday night.

I totally agree with everything you said. Mathews definitely had a great game plan tonight.
