Those Eight Percent Shooting Nights Will Get You Every Time

Just great. One round into the District 3 Class A high school boys basketball playoffs in Pennsylvania, and my brackets are already in shambles. The team I had picked to reach the finals, the York Country Day Greyhounds, lost to the Scotland Cadets 74-5 last week. Yeah, think that the Knicks' 40-point loss to the 76ers on Wednesday was bad? That was nothing.

Scotland forced 32 turnovers in the game, scoring 34 points off them. The Cadets also harassed York into a dismal 8 percent shooting (2 of 24) night from the field. After Snell's basket, Scotland scored the next 30 points to swell its lead to 67-3. The Greyhounds' only other field goal was a layup by Joe Gross with 4:54 remaining in the game. YCD was held scoreless in the first and third quarters and did not attempt a free throw.

Quote of the game: "Our bench played very well," Scotland coach Randy Taylor said. The York Country Day individual totals:

Joe Gross 1-6 0-0 2, Levi Snell 1-7 0-0 3, Brad Schaffer 0-0 0-0 0, Yann Potier 0-6 0-0 0, Joe Slonaker 0-5 0-0 0, Hunter Moylan 0-0 0-0 0, Josh Klinedinst 0-0 0-0 0. Totals 2-24 0-0 5.

Luckily Levi Snell lit it up from beyond the arc, or it really could have been ugly.

Meanwhile, this kid had much better results.
