Logan Elm 40 OT a final
Can't play a game much closer than this one ... as the Bulldogs of Athens punched their ticket to the Convo and Basketball Thirty in A'town beating a very game Logan Elm Braves squad 43-40 in overtime ... Athens coming into to this one had the decided size, length, upperclassmen advantage over the sophomore heavy Braves ... on paper in the pre game Athens needed to be able to take care of the ball (keeping their TOs in the 15 or less range) while being able to go to their strength - Hynes/Chubb/Butcher in the paint ... while Logan Elm without any size had to play toe to toe in the paint, while turning the Bulldogs over in the 20 TO range while offensively being able to score from the perimeter AND in my mind I felt LE need to score in transition - in the neighborhood of 4+ fgs in transition ... obviously Athens got the win ... how did the Napkin Stats pan out vs the bullet points of what each team needed to do to get the W :
Logan Elm :
* Turned Athens over ONLY 13 times while turning the ball over 19 times themselves.
* Perimeter scoring from downtown ... 3/14
* Points in transition ... 3 fgs off of TOs/6 points in transition
Athens :
* Athens scored 13 fgs in the paint /26 points in the paint ... Hynes 12pts/Chubb 8pts/Butcher 4pts
* Turned the tables on LE turning the Braves over 19 times
* Points in transition ... 2 fgs off of TOs /4 points in transition
... biggest spread of the game was an Athens lead of 7 points in 3rd quarter that forced an LE timeout with 5:14 to play in the quarter ... the young Braves responded with a 7-0 run of their own with 2 transition buckets and an Isaac Ward triple to tie the score at 28-28 ...
The quarter breakdown:
Athens .... 15 ...21...31...39... 43
Logan Elm 13 ...19...30...39...40
... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats ... Logan Elm
Scoring ... Gabe Chalfin 11, Jason Sailor 11, Isaac Ward 10, Jeremy Wietlemann 5, Luke Baldwin 2, Jared Harrington 1
3 Pointers ... 3/14 ... Isaac Ward 2, Jeremy Wietlemann 1
FTs ... 7/11
TOs ... 19
PnP ... 7 fgs/ 14 points in the paint
PnT ... 3 fgs/ 6 point in transition
... I have to give a shout out to Jason Sailor for LE - JS is maybe 5-8'ish but one of if not the strongest players for LE ... Sailor played an OUTSTANDING game defensively vs one of the most physical players for AHS Isaiah Butcher ... kept Athens from pounding the ball inside to Butcher, as JS battled every possession in the paint with the 6-4 280-300 pound Butcher ... held Butcher to 2 fgs (4pts) ... great job by the LE sophomore G/F/P ...
... Pfloyd's Official "unofficial" Napkin Stats - Athens ...
Scoring ... Elijah Williams 13, Justin Hynes 12, Eli Chubb 8, Logan Maxfield 5, Isaiah Butcher 4, Brayden Markins 1
3 Pointers ... 1/9 ... Elijah Williams 1
FTs ... 10/23
TOs ... 13
PnP ... 13 fgs/26 points in the paint
PnT ... 2 fgs/4 points in transition
... Athens took care of "bidness" - survived and are advancing to the Convo ... carried there by senior PG Elijah Williams - talking to Coach Cozart before the game Williams did not practice all week due the ankle injury sustained vs Logan last Friday night/he did not play vs Jackson Saturday night ... excellent job handling the ball, penetrating , scoring ... great defensive effort as well for the Athens PG ... player of the game imo ... probably the main reason the Bulldogs were under the 15 spot for TOs on the game ... Athens now at 17-6 on the season ... a trip to Basketball Thirty ... nicely done Coach Cozart ...
