Last three semi-finals for Dublin have been high stress games. Margin of error in NCS D1 recently is so narrow
That poor guy in the black sweater. You can tell he’s a Dublin backer and when that shot went in he was just smiling he was so stunned.
Unreal ending, maybe one of the best endings in NCS history

I just watched DLS absolutely dominate a 4 star recruit. (Keshad Johnson). It amazes me how DLS with some good hs players and a couple D2 kids can bottle up a major recruit. They do it year in and out. Impressive game by DLS. They are playing really well. I thought #1 for San Leandro had a great game. He's tough.

Brah’Jon Thompson #1 had an unreal game with 3-4 NBA range 3's, played tough defense on Jaden Saunders making it difficult for Dublin to get into their offense. Brett Thompson was solid on defense and drives to the hole and finishes in traffic like a Tasmanian Devil but missed a lot of 3's. Besides hitting the game winning shot Tim Oldham played an outstanding game as he connected on a number of big shots throughout the game. Lastly, Hawkins was hitting his 3's as well as driving into the lane and finishing. Really solid team that I think played well last night.
James Logan undoubtedly plays / competes extremely hard and has a lot of play-makers but they almost lost the game because they are so undisciplined. I counted 3 technical fouls (two on Brett / one on Brah'Jon) that almost cost them the game! Additionally, the Thompson cousins do so much flopping which I personally can't stand.
Lastly, I thought the game was poorly officiated last night for both teams. Very inconsistent calling of fouls - ticky tack fouls one possession then completely missing someone getting hammered on the next possession. I know poor officiating isn't exactly a news flash but disappointing to see them factor into the outcome of a big game like this. Another example is the second technical on Brett for delay of game or whatever it was. It was his second delay violation but it appeared pretty harmless.
Last night's game is why I love sports especially high school basketball as the home crowd was on an incredible high from the five point rally to tie the game then the air was completely let out of the building by the buzzer beating 3 point bomb. James Logan had a large contingent of fans in the house as well so they represented well on a Wednesday night.
p.s. - forgot to mention that Brah'Jon got hurt in the post game scrum and was laid out on the court for like ten minutes until they finally helped him up and he walked off the court supported by two guys. When I was driving out of the parking lot there was a firewall truck rolling up so I hope he's OK.
Wow. Great description man. Thanks a lot. Sounds like a great game and great atmosphere. I agree Logan kids are resilient and competes at a high level from start to finish. The Thompson kids are foreal. Not sure what their recruiting is but I’m sure they can help out a lot of these local d2s maybe the younger Thompson being able to get a low d1.
Good win for Logan and i think if they can dictate the tempo against De La Salle they have a good chance of being NCS champions.
What is he even protesting? Wouldn’t the punish the refs? Can’t take that win away from Logan right?
The protest would have to be on 0 thompson receiving 2 delay of game technicals and what the punishment by rule should have been implemented? there was also a long delay regarding the 5th personal foul. Called on Steadman that was overturned by the lead official

A delay of game technical foul is counted as a team technical foul if I’m not mistaken right? I don’t think you can protest the game and penalize the winning team. Just go back to the chalkboard and get ready for D1 NorCals Dublin
poor defense helps with poor officiating... what is so hard about not jumping to block every shot, stop grabbing the player when he beats you on the dribble and stop with the golden state warriors tactic of walkin under shooters.... kids now a days
