"I'm really proud of the way we played tonight," Indian Creek head coach Joe Dunlevy said. "We played solid defense out there and put up a lot of points."
The treacherous snow storms prevented the Carrollton team from showing up, but that setback did not stop the Redskins, who shot a blistering 94 percent from the field. Carrollton's Roy Hamilton, who averages a respectable 17 points a game, had his worst showing of the season as he put up zero points and zero assists.
"Are you kidding me?" was all Carrollton head coach Matt Voll had to say in a phone interview before hanging up.
On a more positive note, the Warriors did not foul the Redskins once all night, which is something they can build upon. A few parents interviewed on both sides were unhappy that their children did not get to play.
"My son didn't even get to play tonight," said Nancy Levinson. "He never gets in, it's all because he doesn't have the right last name." Her son Earl averages 1 minute a game. The 5 foot 4, 426 pound point guard has not put up a single point in practice all season.
Some Carrollton parents who made the trek through the snow said that they were disappointed in coach Voll's decision to sit the entire team. They also called out Creek coach Dunlevy for running up the score. Up 208-0 with 4 minutes to play, Dunlevy told his bench that they would not see the floor as he signaled to run the fast break offense.
"We play whole game," said Dunlevy. "No excuses. We play until that buzzer rings."
With just a half second left on the clock, the Redskins called timeout and drew up a play. The ball was thrown in to Ned West who hit a three as time expired. The Indian Creek students stormed the court as the players dumped the Gatorade on their coach. They then carried him off the court in a scene where the magic could only be described as cinematic.
