They're aren't quite built for it, but they can shoot from a yard off, even pretty well. Not sure why they didn't switch to that strategy midmatch (maybe it's a bit too much to expect from drivers or a bit too far? If you think so, I'd be willing to defer to experience and expertise), but it looked that they considered feeding balls to 217 to be a better (higher %?) shot for the second match. Definitely one good example of great and highly effective fender defense.
I'm the coach for 548, we were having serious problems with out camera tracking at troy. Without the camera a long range shot is 100% manual and very difficult for our drivers. Needless to say changes were made. See you at MSC. Also congrats to 67,469, and 244, by far the toughest defense we have seen yet
