Ok, I am a defensive guy. I love to watch a good defensive battle in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. The old saying goes "Defense wins Championships". So in High School Basketball if you hold a team to 46 points you are normally in the game. However, The Jets proved tonight that you do eventually have to score to win as they defeated the Railroaders 46-26 in ACAC action in Garrett.
We only turned the ball over 8 times while forcing AC to 13 turnovers. We made 9 free throws while Adams Central only had two shots the entire game. (I guess we can't blame the officials.) The biggest reason for the loss is we got destroyed in rebounds. AC grabbed 27 rebounds, 12 of those offensive rebounds to Garretts 9 total rebounds.
Offensively Garrett shot only 17% from 3 point range and only 33% from the field. We couldn't buy a bucket. Garrett played a more controlled game tonight and I think it helped us defensively. But, we are going to have to find more ways to score. Keep your heads up Railroaders, learn from every game and focus on the ACAC tournament!
ROLL BIG TRAIN!
