Man Philly was just to dang good for Flagstaff tonight. No shame in losing to that team, it's like losing to Frankfort haha. Flagstaff dropped it's Elite Eight game to Philadelphia by a score of 63-74. Will Chandler was the difference in the game, scoring 19 points and grabbing 7 boards. I was afraid Dennis Cruickshank would have his hands full and he did. Dennis only had 4 points and 4 boards on 2-8 shooting. I ended up switching Eric Sullivan to SG and Gene Macklin to PG to get Sullivan away from Neal and it worked pretty well. Unfortunately Phillys SG is equally a good defender and he held Sullivan to 7-17 shooting. Superstars Rene Naquin and Otto Davidson pretty much played to a stalemate, which fits what I saw with Naquin in scrimmages against elite competition. I had a slight edge at the 5 spot but it wasn't enough. Might have gotten the short end of the stick from the refs. Philly shot 17/22 from the line while Flagstaff went 5/6 with none of our starters even attempting a free throw. Oh well, it was a good run. In the end I just didn't have the offensive firepower against an elite team such as Philly Good luck the rest of the way to everyone else still alive in the NTT.
Great game again
