Just watched St. Elizabeth have a 5 point lead with a few minutes left. They missed the front end of 3 straight one and ones. Then in overtime manged 2 shots and had 10 turnovers. I don't know if I have ever seen a team crumble that bad before.
Gave it away!

The opponent probably had something to do with that! Sorry to be emotional here but I will only use terms like "choke" if I can or have done better. Don't hold your breath.................
Sorry it happened. South Iron is becoming the Scott County Central of SEMO Boys Basketball. Let's see if anyone out there is old enough to remember.............
Well I remember Scott county central so I can date myself.
It’s always tough when things go south like that but it happens. Hell it happens at all levels.

In every sport! I am not a fan, as many know, of invective terms like "choke" but to each his/her own.
I believe it is not far from bolivar. Like many of these top small schools they play quite the schedule.
I could care less about either team and know nothing about it other than to ask the obvious: What did the opponent have to do with missing the one and ones at the free throw line?
I remember the the Scott County dominance, even saw a lot of it firsthand
I got to see the game between Scott County and Wellsville back in the day.
St E was not even thought about getting out of districts at the start of the year, but made a run all the way to the Final game. Kids are kids. They are not pros. Things did not fall their way and I am sure they are very disappointed they did not finish it off. Congrats on a great season.
Yes but to have 136 kids in 6-12 grades and keep losing 4-5 players a year and keep the tradition going is unreal each year they do it. If you ask people around town, they are surprised at the run. I am sure they got wore down and didnt finish the game off. But to say they choked..... Come on now.
St. Elizabeth is south of Jefferson City and East of the Lake of Ozarks. Old Catholic Germans that I think time has forgotten. Probably won't stumble on it unless you are trying to get there. If you ever do go to Miss Kitty's that place never disappoints!
Whether they did or didn't is not the point. The way I am reading this thread is everyone has been trying nicely to tell you it's not in good form to say kids choked as an adult.
Looks like a grown man didnt like getting called out for attacking kids on a forum. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. Who is the snowflake now?
Simple fact is you may be talking about someones kids on here or even grandkids. Not mine in this case but there is always the possibility. How would you feel if someone was on here talking about one of your boys? Just something to think on. Have a great day.
and the winner of the Low Class Post of the Year goes Fballfan16 !!!!
Fact of the matter, anyone saying a teenager(s) in HS athletics "Choked" is embarrassing. I was at the game, they were a rebound away from securing the game. South Iron was the favorite, winning 3 in a row now. So the fact that St. E had a chance to win the game is commendable in itself. I think we are forgetting to spotlight the fact that South Iron fought and clawed back into the game and gave themselves a chance to win. They played like champions. St. E has nothing to be ashamed of and their sports success speaks for itself. I think the word "Choked" can be defined by people in many different ways when it comes to sports. I don't think the OP meant it as disrespect. You hear the word all the time in sports. I don't think its appropriate on a message board primarily for HS athletics.
The key word is A$$HOLE.
There’s no need to be one. Maybe, when you get some free time, ask yourself why you care so much about a high school sporting event that you find it acceptable to be a jerk.
