4 point swings.
When a team misses a shot on one end, and the other team makes one on the other end.
That's exactly what happened to the 6th/7th graders on several occasions in their bitter 18-16 loss Saturday afternoon.
They had quite a few chances right by their basket, but ended up missing. And conveniently the other team grabbed the missed shot, went down the court and scored.
It was that, turnovers and poor free throw shooting, which all added up to a winnable game gone by the waist side for the 6th/7th grade girls, who are now (1-2) on the season.
Down 17-9 at one point, the girls made a furious comeback to start the 4th quarter and managed to cut the lead to just a point with less than 2 minutes to go.
But the girls were unable to go ahead or tie the game on their final possessions and were left with the "coulda woulda shoulda" feeling.
In the win, Sharon recorded her first ever two points when she was ahead on the fast break.
As a team, the girls shot 1-of-11 from the free throw line in the second half. Those points loom large in a two point loss.
