Re: 4A Semis: William Fleming vs Monacan

It's youth vs experience today

Monacan - whose roster includes 6 sophs and 5 freshmen - starts 4 soph and 1 freshman

Fleming, on the other hand, which starts 4 seniors - was in last year's title game, eventually losing to Lake Taylor.

For the moment, youth is winning

Monacan ahead 19-6 with a little over 1 minute to go in the 1st Q

Colonels have more turnovers (8) than points

Oh yea - Notre Dame women's BB Coach Muffet McGraw is in the house.
