The five players for us who had the most minutes yesterday were:
6-6, 6-3, 6-1, 6-0, 6-0. I sure hope Shields doesn't pretend that he doesn't understand why we were outrebounded by 10. Maybe we needed to gain something somewhere else, and the swap-off was worth it, but we shouldn't complain about being outrebounded. Ain't going to improve with that line-up.

Not quite an accurate portrayal. You have to count Bails, Burton and Thornton together, and they totaled 37 minutes, so we weren't really ever playing with a short lineup. And when you consider that Courtney had 13 rebounds, that's outstanding. He started looking like the 13th best player in Texas that he was reputed to be his Senior season. One of our bright spots.

Actually, it's rather amazing we were only outrebounded by 10 against a DI team. I would think that just about every Little Rock HS plays a bigger line-up.
