How good of a job is this with the move to 6A?

Was Austin Farias before. But the teams around Austin were not as good, so he had to be “the guy” for a lot longer. So the fact that Jaden did it with as many good teammates as he has had makes it even more impressive to me.

Also congrats to Jaden Scales for breaking the all time scoring record at OF

So are we turning in the lady that was going live from London?

OF doing a good job getting out in transition. Did have several turnovers trying to do a little too much, but I think that’s how they win this game is in transition

OF - 26 London - 21 Half

OF - 19 London - 19 3 left in the second

OF - 11 London - 13 after one

I truly don’t understand not wanting to play in one of the nicest high school facilities in the state for this game.

The officials were very good and very consistent. I think the problem here was that they approached this game with a “they need to adjust to the way I am calling” rather than a calling the obvious. When OF did attack the rim they did get the same calls, but I also think that OF played much better help defense and the helper was generally who the foul was called on. Fairfield also did a lot of Iso ball and took bad shots when the help was there and I do think that rather than adjusting to the game in front of them, they called extremely tight the entire night. It’s not very often you see a varsity boys game get to the bonus every single quarter (at least in my opinion)

Definitely thought they were better than Mexia outside of #3

OF - 54 Fairfield - 45 Willis with a big three at the buzzer

OF - 47 Fairfield - 37 halfway through the 3rd

Second chance buckets keeping Fairfield in this one

OF - 39 Fairfield - 33 Halftime

Fairfield’s approach is the same as Mexia’s. No ball movement, one guy dribbles in to the paint throws it up, and hopes for a foul. so far it’s working for them to keep them in the game

13-2 foul count now

OF - 22 Fairfield - 20 Some bad shots to end the first and start the second from OF.

Fouls count was 10-2 against OF that quarter

OF - 22 Fairfield - 14 end of the 1st

Hitchcock - 60 Shallowater - 46 Final

OF - 68 Mexia - 56 Final I think that was the final, they wiped the score as soon as the buzzer went off

OF - 63 Mexia - 56 2:30 left Mexia is essentially playing Buzz ball and hoping for fouls, and they got a good officiating crew for that

OF - 56 Mexia - 44 End of 3rd Mexia pulled within 5 for a bit

That said the game is getting very chippy. Mexia has already been T’ed up and I’m surprised the coach hasn’t been yet.
