  1. Cooper will shut SK down....they average a bunch of points against bad clubs. Cooper will also get a bunch of easy buckets. Should be an easy dub
  2. Holy Cross in a close one as they go with the same plan as the last game and faceguard Schrek....we shall see if it works as good against a team that should know its coming after the way they guarded Newport. HC 57-52 as they look to control the pace and play a nice slow game just like the last one.
  3. So for the record how long are they allowed to actually try? This is varsity basketball in the postseason they are supposed to get better each day to try and win a state title should they just tank the game completely because the other team isn't any good? They played 1 half of starters I don't know how they are supposed to play less than that? I mean what is the cutoff when they are up 20 they just have to hold the ball the rest of the way? To me that would be even more embarrassing than just playing the game.
  4. Agree with this completely Schrand took a ton of heat the last couple of years and I have been tough on him as well so when he does well I give him credit too and last night his plan was on point. Newport had zero game plan and should take some criticism with that much talent on the roster. Holy Cross Seniors carried them and made huge play after huge play from the opening tip they are a different team playing with that senior swag at the guards.
  5. Are they on here checking out the forums getting their feelings hurt? its Varsity basketball I think people can give an opinion without worrying about a kids feelings or is that the place this world is at these days?
  6. If you think Newport had a game plan last night what was it?
  7. Yes I am sure it wasn’t just Wahl. It’s easy to just faceguard someone if you don’t have to worry about the other coach running anything for the player you are guarding. Would have been a completely different story if they were screening him and getting him some post looks. But he did execute the gameplan well I’ll give him that. As for Knockleman he was struggling all night. He’s just too scared and soft to be a threat.
  8. Yeah that was actually with the score 54-52 and a huge missed call if it did go off Schrand because after that they called a timeout and the next play was the Zimmerman deep 3 that he got fouled and made all 3 to take lead. I got that drive on my snap too but it’s hard to see if it goes off Schrand from my view definitely looked like it might have. So yeah Newport could be a little upset with ending and refs. Ball off Schrand then foul shooting 3 then non call on drive to end it. They had plenty of chances to win it with free throws and taking care of the ball though too so no one to blame but themselves I think.
  9. This is also why I laughed at people saying Newport could beat the big dogs Cov Cath or even Cooper. Those teams aren’t going to lose to a team that is very limited on offense outside of Burris. They defend at a much higher level than anyone in the region which will make an upset nearly impossible. Also it should make Saturday very interesting because we have 1 game to advance to state basically and another between HC and Dixie to advance as far as possible and have a shot to shock the world which is always a fun “freeroll”
  10. A lot of people have been tough on Schrand but he definitely won the coaching side of the game by a very wide margin. HC played at a very nice tempo from the jump and Newport literally never adjusted to HC faceguarding Burris. Newport was perfectly content just playing 4 on 4 which is exactly what Schrand wanted obviously so excellent plan after getting blown out twice by same team.
  11. Definitely a non call on the last drive. Can’t call that to end a big game. Fun game though after watching the first two blowouts between the teams. Holy Cross controlled the pace much better tonight and Newport never adjusted to faceguarding Burris. I got that last drive on my Snapchat sitting courtside if anyone wants to see it from a few feet away. tonyniehaus on snap
  12. Newport has zero shot of beating Cooper or Cov Cath....it makes no sense why they don't just reseed each region it only benefits the bad teams and hurts the top teams. In this region it won't matter because only 2 teams have a shot so it doesn't matter when they play but still would be more enjoyable to see them in the finals.
