Yes, Pinewood lost to Mitty in the CCS championship for the third year in a row. I believe they had lost their last seven games to the Monarchs. Must be sweet indeed for Pinewood.
Since when hasn't Pinewood's program been respected? Doc is regarded as one of the nation's best high school coaches and probably the country's best shooting coach. I don't recall anyone saying anything negative about him or his teams.Historic win tonight! Time to Respect the Pinewood program and Doc Scheppler's coaching brilliance.
Now perhaps one can see why the Carondelet horrible decision to punish their entire team (For the irresponsible decision of 1 or 2) and the rest of the entire Open division was not a decision to be taken lightly. It was a situation where a couple adults rushed to punish instead of following the correct procedure which would have allowed calmer and more reasonable heads to prevail. There were other options to consider. It allowed Pinewood a bye over several seeds that were higher than Pinewood were. If anyone should have gotten a bye it should have been Mitty or SMS. The team with the bye has the advantage of more rest and more preparation. They were allowed to instead of playing Carondelet in the first game to go out and scout SMS and Mitty, then practice to be better prepared for them.
Add that to the fact that IMO Mitty, SMS, and Pinewood were all in the very elite level. Those 3 IMO were slightly better than the rest of the pack. When you add it all up Losing Nicole Blakes, getting a bye, and already being very familiar with Mitty made a great content even more challenging. Not to take anything away from Pinewood because I'm a Pinewood fan. I'm a Mitty fan. I'm a SMS fan. Ima a high level of basketball brand fan.
Congratulations to Pinewood ! Best wishes against Windward.
Your point is well-taken. But, a contrarian view might suggest that Pinewood actually was damaged by not playing on that opening playoff date. If they had, they might have beaten SMS even more soundly. At least that would be the argument. As it was, they managed to squeeze past SMS on the road anyway. As for Mitty, that one is what it is, or was.
