Game One...McGavock Goes Down to the Buzzer

One thing I've learned from being a fan of the Siegel Stars is that they often leave me feeling nervous and afraid to look from behind closed eyes, then not wanting to turn my head for fear of missing a moment.  That pretty much sums up my feelings about Siegel's basketball games.  Last night's first game was no different.  Siegel 60 - McGavock 57 was the score.  The story, however, was much different.  Read about it in this account from Kenny Howell with the Middle Tennessee High School Sports Beat.  Click here.

And if you didn't hear, Siegel was in the Bahamas over Thanksgiving week and weekend.  They claimed the championship title in the Tabernacle Classic. 

"The ball came off the rim and I was open, and my coach always tells me if I am open ... shoot it. I knew we needed a big shot, so I figured I would take it because I knew my team trusted me and I knew I could knock it down," said Butler.

Similar to last April's NCAA Men's basketball championship between the Duke Blue Devil and the Butler Bulldogs in Indianapolis; Gordon Hayward of Butler attempted a game winning three point shot from half court which descended with stunning accuracy, it looked like it might go glass-net-floor.

And then it missed.

For the player named Butler from Siegel.

Unlike the team from Butler ....
