Here’s Why Cowboy Fans

4 games played . 1 win and 3 losses.

If you looked at the stats from the 3 games lost you might scratch your head and wonder how the Heroes lost those 3 games.

Here is what it looked like according to the Box Score

I gotta tell you if I was a coach and my team had those kind of numbers I would probably be feeling pretty good about my team.

Yet leave it to the Boys of the Blue Star to manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and let all that good work go to waste.

What you ask, could have happened ?  How can a team produce more offense than the other team in 3 games and still lose all 3 games ?

A closer look at those box scores tell “the rest of the story”.

In all 3 games the Good Guys also led in 2 other catagories.
