Fairland@ Gallia Academy 1/11/19

[SEOAL74]

Fairland
FG 27-33 (82%) (eFG% - 86%)
3pt FG 3-5 (60%)
FT 16-21 (76%)

Gallia Academy
FG 16-43 (37%) (eFG% - 41%)
3p FG 3-10 (30%)
FT 9-16 (56%)

But I think the telling stat of the game was:
Assists
Fairland - 19
Gallia Academy - 4

Fairland went 27-33 from the field? That’s crazy!

When you can shoot 95% layups you can shoot like they shot last night and you can't leave Thomas wide open either. You can not play them man to man on defense you have to play a 2/3 zone and stop them getting all those back door cuts. Gallia press was allowing them to get layup after layup because they where use to Loveday being on the back side to stop all that. Fairland caught Gallia at the right time after beating South Point Tuesday by 11 points and really playing a good game. Gallia is still trying to find out how they need to play without Loveday I hope they get things fixed quickly or it could be a long rest of the season.

Sorry, I don’t see this at all

My concern was that we played strictly on emotion Tuesday against SP. Emotion can only be sustained for a a short time. Fundamentals and preparation are paramount to our success this season. I still hope I’m wrong about that but I guess we will see as the season progresses. Hopefully last night was an aberration. Go Blue Bleed Blue!!

I know some Blue Devil people who will say that this was a big problem even when Loveday was there.

Blue Devils were not prepared, nor did the coaching staff adjust. Simple.
Time to move on.
