Free Throw Percentage

Individually, 70 percent is above average, 80-90 excellent, 60-70 average, below 60 is poor.  As a team, I would say 70-80 is superior, 60-70 is what a good team will shoot, and teams below that will be consdiered either not very good, or struggling at the time.

I know a lot was made of the poor free throw shooting HJ had in the loss to the Tigers.  Tonight in WOS they shot 58%.  I saw another comment about not shooting them well tonight.  I know as fans we feel that way in many games.  But I haven't really paid a lot of attention to the percentages of many schools.  What is considered a decent percentage for a good high school team.  My thinking has been that it wouldn't be a whole lot better than that 58% just because you are dealing with high school kids. Granted you could see some good percentages for individuals and the percentages could be skewed on some teams by a few players more involved in the game and therefore shooting more free throws.

Our only excuse is that we lost to a superior team.

That's not what "some" of the HJ fans have been stating. ;)
