Gruhl will have a hard time explaining that one to Stratford coach Danny Howell. We played so well from the second quarter on. He hit a heck of a shot. He's a senior. He's been doing it a long time.
Good players make good plays.
Brentwood coach Chandler Dennard is trying to come up with more creative ways to rationalize with his team. For a second straight year the Eagles' season has stopped short. Last year it ended in the second round. This year hard luck struck a little earlier. But Cliff Smith's 3-pointer missed, Michael Sack's first shot was blocked and his second attempt, in a crowded lane, fell short.
