Championship Basketball

I saw something really cool at the 3A high school semi-state basketball game yesterday at Seymour. Washington, behind absolute stud Tyler Zeller, won 73-69. Note, they were down 26-24 at half. Tyler absolutely took over in the second half. But what was cool was with about 30 seconds left, Batesville was trying to foul. Washington inbounded the ball to a guard, and he got fouled before he could get the ball to Tyler. And what did the guard do? The guard apologized to Tyler. No ego. Total focus on the team. He realized the best chance to win was to get the ball to Tyler, and he was ok with that. Winning was more important than points or personal glory. He apologized. So cool...

I also wish our guys could have gone and see how hard the guys on the court played. If we played that hard this year, we would have had 6 wins before the Wabash Valley Classic, not at the end of the season.
