Eastland fell because of pressure
With 6-foot-9 junior swingman Forrest Robinson in the paint, the Eastland Mavericks had their inside/outside questions answered all year to the tune of 22 points and 10 rebounds per game.
One question left unanswered, however, was whether or not the Mavs could deal with a first-class team delivering a first-class full-court press.
The answer to that question would determine how far the Mavericks would go.
It ended in the Region I-2A semifinals on Friday in a 65-42 loss to Idalou.
Hampered by 28 turnovers, including 15 in the first half, the Mavs trailed by 11 at the break and 20 at the end of three quarters.
Robinson returns for his senior year in 2011, but the Mavs will lose five valuable seniors in Austin Felts, Jarred Moyland, Cory Howie, Marcus Bartee and Billy Bob Brown.
