Woodville 57  Tarkington 44

I know the scores aren’t always indicative of the game played, but I’m a little surprised the point differential is not greater than it is. Not to take anything away from Tarkington, but a top state ranked team in 3A should be able to blow Tarkington out.

On paper yes they should. This game looks to have been played AT Tarkington. A lot of times, the energy generated at a HOME gym has a positive effect on the home team, while impeding the visiting team. It also seems to affect less experienced refereeing crews are routinely biased by this influence depending on which side of the ball you're on (lol). Familiarity of opponent can be a factor as well. 

Would really need to see the box scores to know did normal players play normal minutes, was there foul trouble, did someone have to sit out, etc.? If I remember correctly.

I see Tarkington lost to VYPE current Top Ten team Hamshire Fannett 47-42 at H-F, VYPE current Top Ten school Bridge City 38-32 and 48-42, so what that means empirically to me is they play hard and must have competed in these games. So even though Woodville is a really good team with superior talent, every game against an unranked opponent isn't going to be a 100-29 cakewalk. To me a 13 point win on the road is a strong enough statement by itself.

Woodville was without their big in this game.  She has been out with a concussion.

To add what was stated about Woodville's big they also had 3 other starters and there first 2 subs coming off the bench out for the entire first quarter due to disciplinary reasons.   Tarkington however is much improved and continues to improve every outing under new head coach Smith.

Good job to Coach Carrell.

Who me? I’m not saying that all, I was wondering why Woodville wasn’t whooping them worse. Woodville has a really really good team. You guys would beat most of the schools in this area no matter the classification.
