I've been trying to keep my mouth shut since I really admire both of these kids and their families. I'll give a few things to ponder:

How many times do you see a referee wave something off? In an instant the ref can go from seeing back points to seeing no control, and can wave off whatever he started to do. Correct me if I am wrong.

Everyone in the gym except for Cade, VC fans, and his family, would have loved to have seen a one point for escape, and have that thing go another period!! Though it would have been Cade's choice in that final period, had it gone that route. I have no doubt in my mind that Cokeley didn't have control for 2, but can see where there could have been 1 escape awarded. It is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Would we all have liked to have seen a little better sportsmanship, yes. Not to make excuses, but every Sunday you see worse sportsmanship from NFL guys, for something as little as 3 yard gain, a broken up pass play, or many other minor things as the game goes on. I love the fire that both of these kids have, just need to harness it a bit.

Congrats to both kids for making this match happen.

Congrats to Chase Nitcher and Taylor Moeder for making that match happen as well. Two more great warriors that Kansas should be proud of.
