Sixteen minutes.
Two quarters.
The Boone Central Lady Cardinals have to feel like that’s all that stood between them and their shot at a C1 state championship.
One half. Twelve points. Countless high-quality shot attempts that bounced, lipped and rolled off the Devaney Center rim.
Agonizing.
Boone Central, with its decided size advantage, had the correct game plan in Friday’s state tournament semi-final against Minden.
