I didn’t make excuses about the strawn game, Milford had a chance to win and came up short.
McLean didn’t have 4 less days of practice. I understand Milford played their semifinal game on Friday and McLean played theirs on Monday but this does not equal 4 less practice days. Teams don’t practice on Saturday or Sunday. I guess you could say “Milford practiced on Monday while McLean had to play a semifinal game” so that’s 1 extra practice. ( < Even though some would argue a big time playoff game is far more productive than a Monday practice.) Then I guess you would say McLean lost days of practice because they had to leave early and head to Arlington? But I saw on Twitter where McLean stopped on the way to Arlington to have practice in an indoor football practice facility while Milford was practicing outside in the cold... so your theory that “McLean had 4 less practice days than Milford” is a poorly thought one, and ignorant to say the least.
