C5#4 West Plains 50 - C5#6 LutheranStC. 71 (FINAL)

Lutherans length is a problem.
Just eyeballing it, 4 of their top 6 players are at least 5’11-6’0 a few of them it looks are 6’2

WP perimeter D needs to step up.

18-12 Lutheran at the end of the 1st

The juniors leading the way for WP

Joyner- 6 pts
Lawson- 4 pts
Harris- 2 pts
 
42-22 Lutheran at half.

Spicer with 22 pts for Lutheran.

Juniors still leading the way for WP.
1 basket made from all 3 of the starting seniors combined.

Lawson- 8 pts
Joyner- 8 pts
Harris- 4 pts
Judd- 2 pts
 
Apparently they have a 6’2 freshman stowers, spicer is a 6’2 soph, and a 6’2 senior.

All played major minutes in the first half. Spicer being the leading scorer.
 
44-24 Lutheran with 6:11 to go in the 3rd.

I hate to say it but extremely unlikely WP comes back from this.

Even if they went on a run, I fully expect Lutheran to stall most of the half
 
52-39 Lutheran at the end of the 3rd

WP closes the gap a little. Deficit goes from 20 to 13 as WP outscores Lutheran 17-10 in the 3rd
 
Well my hope for an all public final was dashed.

STL private schools strike again.

71-50 Lutheran St Charles over West Plains

For WP the juniors carried the load tonight.

Joyner- 18 pts, two 3P
Lawson- 14 pts
Dixon- 7 pts, one 3P
Harris- 4 pts
Judd- 4 pts
Williams- 3 pts, one 3P

West Plains drops to 23-8 on the year.

The 6’2 soph guard Spicer had around 30 pts and 7 of the teams twelve 3Ps

Speiser had a dozen D1 offers as an 8th grader. Everyone knew what she was.

How did they lose to Rolla and St. James???????????
 
I’m going to guess either Spicer didn’t play those games or they were cold from 3P land, or the two freshmen in the rotation weren’t up to speed yet. Your guess is as good as mine.
In the Rolla game I like your last theory because it was so early in the season. Perhaps just cold vs. St. James?
 
I take full responsibility for this loss. I should have continued to doubt them. My mistake Zizzer fans.
 
She didn't play against Rolla but she was back for St . James I think.
 
The News Leader says WP didn't get one rebound in the 1st half. Sounds impossible

They didn’t get many, but idk if that’s true.

I would believe that they didn’t get any defensive rebounds in the first half. Based off all the second chance points that Lutheran got.
