Holy Cross vs Dixie 9th Region Semifinals Predictions

Who wins? Play on 3/3

They played twice this year.

Holy Cross won 61-58

Dixie won 81-68

Has the makings of an exciting, entertaining evening of HS basketball on Saturday. Any chance the crowd on Saturday sets a HS attendance record at BB&T?

I doubt they top the crowd that was there for the 9th and 10th region championship doubleheader a handful of years ago. However, should be a very good crowd as it should be 2 great games.

As was thoroughly complained about before, does it really matter? I mean we all know the true regional championship will be played in the other semi final match up.Don't even know why there is a thread on this one.

I believe Dixie finds a way. Stainforth has done a nice job in his first year, and Schreck is a high IQ player. This should be a really good game. HC has 3 excellent guards, and 2 that can really shoot it. The rest of the guys play their roles. However, I just see a toughness element in Dixie's game that will overcome HC. I'll be excited to watch.

I pick Holy Cross 49-47! Schrand gets the Indians to the 9th championship game!

I have HC pulling away at the end at the FT line.

I’ll go with HC by a bucket.

These are two evenly matched teams in my opinion. Could come down to the last possession like the Holy Cross/Newport game did. I'll go with Holy Cross 64 -61.

Holy Cross hopefully will not be over excited by the Newport game. They should take care of business if they stay focused.

HC by 4

This should be a really good game, Dixie played extremely well the other night, but this Holy Cross team can flat out shoot and seem to be on a litttle mission, I will take the Indians, let's say 58 to 53.

I think HC gets it done, and by the 4th quarter these boys should get to play in front of the biggest crowd of their lives -- really happy for these boys.

Indians by 6-8.

If Holy Cross can handle Schrek like they handled Burries I believe they win. That's a big IF though. Holy Cross by 3

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.
