OUTSTANDING GAME BOTH TEAMS!!!
hard for either team to have to lose a game like this
I am sure since I have seen it before, Dallas can't understand how it happened, the list keeps getting longer each and every game - started in Indianpolis, then Cincinnati and every team I have seen play them since walks away shaking their heads. This Dallas team that played today is GOOD - I really mean that Dallas fans and team.
Elkhart has something going on and will dance a little longer. Great job Hawks!
just for record-I saw this team in Indpls jr hi tourney and regional finals in Cincinnati - they are not my home team, 100 plus miles away - I am reporting what I have seen happen repeatedly - they are beating good teams consistently - give them their due even if its painful, I know it was for our team when they beat us for the state championship
