Your right I talked someone that was there. EB was trying to call timeout. 

EB was given a TO by the official, the coach turns around looking at his bench, the refs run off the court. I'm not saying it would have made a difference, but there was an awkward moment as everyone was trying to figure out was going on. The EB coach started talking to the table, and Kountze didn't know what was going on. Game over, Kountze is moving on. Proved many people wrong. Congrats

BTW Barker took over late for Kountze! And that was a huge 3 by #5, Kountze always finds ways to win games this time of year. Those guys truly believe they are going to win state every year, no matter what.

East bernard gave that one away.

East Bernard has a great Head Coach! He is doing a great job with that program!

The more impressive thing is Kountze was losing by 12 with 2 min left in the game.

At 2 mins it was under ten. They trailed 63-54 right at the 3:49 mark.

Went back and watched the 4th quarter. As someone said earlier Barker took over that quarter for Kountze scoring 9 points. It was his running floater (and 1) that cut the lead to 1 that probably ripped EB's heart out. What's more interesting is he played nearly the entire 4th quarter with 4 fouls. He picked up his 4th foul right as the 4th quarter started.

A few notes:

• Kountze trailed 61-46 with 5 mins left in the game. Kountze went on a 17-3 run over the next 4 mins to cut the lead to one (64-63) with 1:11 left after Barker's floater. 
• Kountze used a 10-0 run over the span of 3 mins to cut the lead from 63-51 to 63-61 with 1:18 left. EB had 4 consecutive turnovers over that timeframe.
• Kountze's first lead in the game (66-64) came with 48 seconds left after Carey's corner 3. 
• EB only made one FG in the 4th quarter.

Kountze also was down what 13-2 to start the game?

Yes, and rallied back to trail by 1 at the end of the 1st (16-15).

Also, Kountze would have lost if EB would have used this simple tool called the pump fake. They kept driving right at Cole and putting it like he hadn't blocked 10 shots already. Does anyone know how many blocks he ended up with? He looked like he was playing volleyball!

Did East Bernard have any size ?

Yes! They are some big, husky kids. Their post player was 6'6". They were a Sr. laden team this year.

I believe they had like 12 seniors, and I'm not exaggerating.

Yes, around that number. They return only 3 players next year.
