Mason stopped talking to fans, players and Segler long enough to score a game-high 34 points with 11 rebounds. Pint-sized Sherman Hamilton had 25 in a losing cause. The intensity was surreal. Now, that's basketball, and basketball worth showing up for. But you look around, a lot of people wouldn't have been able to get in.
Basketball coaches hate to give up the home-court advantage.
But Martin and Segler are great ambassadors for the sport. If more fans would show up at Kyle Field, they'd play it there. There are kids who go through their entire high school careers and never experience something like this. We are very grateful that we have such supportive communities. Bryan and Consol have rich basketball traditions.
