In the last 20 years...I'd say 2 western final games. Both times lost to the state champion. I'd say we lost to the better team each time and that ain't choking.
I'd agree in the last 10 minutes of the 4th quarter we "kinda" choked against ES...but more so, ES had big momentum. If you want to say we choked...then you're conceding that we were the better team and ya'll stole one.
Doesn't matter. We lost our best player and ya'll came back and won. ES was the better team when the clocks hit 00:00.
The real choke job came the next week at Shelby. Have mercy, shoulda stayed on the mountain....
ES has a historic program as does Maiden. Our paths will cross again. I wish nothing but luck to ya...and to Lowman...use to share a beer with his Dad and Tom at Hilltop.
Ps...
@amaidendevil is too hard headed to lash back out at RT4...he ain't budging... plus he's a nice feller. He's speaking his mind...everyone knows losing your star player makes a difference. He's saying it mattered...you're saying it doesn't matter, we just choked. Ease up sweetheart, no need to be angry.
