| Mustangs "A" State Tournament Run Ends In Disappointment At The Hands Of Red Hot Bardstown 63-60 In The Semis Coach Code Tells Team That He Is Disappointed For Them But Certainly Not In Them Juniors Vow To Return And Conquer in '07 |
| A funny thing happened on the way to the 2006 Touchstone Energy All "A" State Tournament Championship Game. The Mustangs had overcome a 13-12 first period Bardstown lead, outscoring them 16-7 in the second period to weather the Tigers' storm and take a 28-20 lead to the locker-room at halftime where it appeared that we had an upcoming date with destiny on Sunday. After scoring on our first two possessions of the second half we were just about sure of it when Bardstown caught fire and exploded for 25 points in the third quarter on near-perfect shooting from the field stymieing the normally sterling defensive efforts of our Mustangs while taking a 45-42 lead into the final quarter. Bardstown would go on to complete a 43 point second half scoring barrage by tacking on 18 more points in the finale, hitting on a composite 16 of 23 shots effectively sending our Mustangs home to prepare for Mason County on Tuesday, while the Tigers set a 3pm Sunday afternoon date with Owensboro Catholic for the '06 State "A" Title. Kyle Lubbers was absolutely brilliant in the fourth quarter converting several Jimmy Uebel passes, while Uebel himself, Josh Kidney, and especially Adam Franzen tried to rally the Stangs with key three-point goals. |

| Coach Code did not find fault with the play of the Mustangs but rather credited the speed, athleticism, and hot shooting streak of the Tigers for the Mustangs' demise. He told them that he was disappointed for them - but certainly disappointed with them. Jimmy Uebel spoke for the Juniors in vowing a return to Richmond and a ride home with the top prize in tow in 2007. Box Score: Kidney 1-1-0/0-5, Seiter 1-0-2.4-6, Franzen 0-2-0/0-6, Lubbers 7-0-1/2-15, Uebel 2-1-1/2-8, Mutsch 2-1-2/2-7, Cooper 5-0-3/3-13 Total Mustangs: 23-5- 9/13 -60 Total Tigers: 24-5-10/16-63 |
