Elder made it a lot more interesting than people thought it would be. Centerville helped them out by missing the front end of three consecutive 1-1s, plus a technical foul for hanging on the rim on a missed alley-oop dunk in the latter part of the 4th Qtr.
Elder didn't have an answer for Cupps in the 1st half and it showed. They started doubling and allowing other players to try to beat them. Some turnovers, some missed layups turned things to a 3-point game with 2 minutes left.
Elder faithful not happy with some calls given to Cupps, but the kid is smart. Knows how to draw contact and sell it. Also really good off the ball, he sets some tough screens to open up shots for their big. To add to the discussion early on his college prospects, his release on his shot seems a little low IMO. He's definitely a true PG at the next level.
Big sequence in the final minutes. It was 46-43 Centerville at the line for 1-1, misses but gets the offensive rebound. Ball then gets knocked away, off Elder out of bounds. Centerville runs an absolute picture perfect play on the short corner side out, to get a back-pick for the big who lays it in to take a 48-43 lead.
