Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Brandon, great leadershipin taking control from the start.

Tyler, your a man and I admire your intelligence in knowing what you could do to help and the guts to leave it all out there while you were sick. HAd some cluth points in the second half.

Zack, way to hustle and your decision making was great tonight! Good shooting!

Jared, you have been huge and inspiring on the boards and picking up those pts. that come from working hard down low.

Matthew, your defense was great. Blocks and rebounds also.

The Oilers will now face 3A West Orange-Stark in the Hoopinsider Playoff Preview Friday night in the Montagne Center. CONGRATULATIONS OILERS!

My hats off to a very good Big Sandy team. Big Sandy represents class from top to bottom. Good luck in the playoffs.

Big Sandy is first class coach, players, and fans.

Coach Foster has done a great job with that team. Many coaches wouldn't have that team where they are.

They are good, but he makes them better.

BS, good luck in the playoffs.

Nobody would've predicted this big of a win for WH over BS, but WH EXPLODED onto the court from the first second of the game.  Brandon Letsinger was barely HUMAN in the first quarter!!!  He just went off with three 3's in WH's first three possessions followed by a lay up and one...and all of this with four defensive stops in a row!  After the first four possessions of the game it was 12 to 0!!!  Every single WH player was big tonight.  NOBODY had an off night!  Matthew Hashaw played crazy defense against McKinney and pretty much shut him down and Austin Laird did the same thing.  Tyler showed tonight what a SMART player he is.  This kid knows basketball and he knows his abilities...he knew what he was up to contributing (being sick) and he never tried to force any shots...and played defense like he wasn't even sick.  His fever broke only hours before the game and yet he was a big player tonight, especially in the fourth quarter!!!  Jared Tomlinson has shown up huge in both of these last two games against Big Sandy with scoring and rebounds.  And Zach Simmons...what a game tonight!  Smart decisions, mad-crazy hussle and two big threes to go along with several other buckets!  Every single one of you guys brought your A-game and then some tonight!!!

West Hardin's defense was HUGE tonight!!!  That's the best defense I've ever seen them play and that type of defense will take them far in the playoffs!  Big Sandy is used to being able to get open and make jump shots and they have great shooters, but tonight, there was just flat nowhere to get open...WH looked like they had about eight guys out there on defense!

And as far as Big Sandy goes...these guys are no joke.  They never even thought about giving up.  They kept their intensity up and they kept fighting.  I ALWAYS leave impressed after having watched them play and tonight was no exception.  Coach Foster and team, BEST OF LUCK in the playoffs!  I know that all of our fans will be cheering for you!  You guys are a fantastic team.

  Every single WH player was big tonight.  NOBODY had an off night! 

what about whats his face.. o stokley? how did he do.. did he drop any 3's

[Preacherskid]

The fans at the game made the game worth going to.

Both teams' fans were into the game which made it a game that much more enjoyable at which to be.

Being down 12 in the first minute and a half to two minutes was crucial in that BS had to scramble from behind the whole game.

It was a great game.

Congrats to WH!

How loud was it??

[hssportsfan]

I was on the phone with a friend at the game and I could not hear him. Coach Fuller told me this morning it was the loudest he's been in and BS @ WH was pretty loud.

[WH-BackInThaDay]

Possibly louder than the H-J gym??  OH no!! dont' say that .... its blasphemy..  Shhhh. the Hawk Hecklers might hear you.....
