How much did Willie and Jamie pay you to say that? :lol:

 

 

I got a free season's pass to all basketball games my sons play in!!

 

 

Zero.

 

Our kids are built for football only.

 

 

Sounds like the slick floor problem is not unique to Highlands based on what I read.

I resemble that remark.

Tanner Johnson was in foul trouble much of the game, but when he was in, he was not a factor. With his size against smaller opponents, he has to play closer to the basket and want the ball more (like Ben G.). The offense also has to realize if they feed the big man, they'll get it back for open looks when the defense starts collapsing on him.

 

Vories is very quick with a good shot and good moves.

 

I was confused by the D by the 'birds in the 1st half. While it looked like man-to-man, they were switching on everything which made it look like a matchup zone. While the pressure on the ball was good, too often it allowed easy drives, dishes and backdoor cuts. If you're not quick enough to stay in front of a guy off the dribble, you shouldn't guard him so closely 25' from the bucket.

 

Ben G. performs better than his talent warrants. He forces the action and takes the ball to the hoop. This usually leads to a decent shot or a foul on the defense. More of HHS' players should play this way.

 

It will be interesting to see how they develop. If they improve as much as last year's team, they could be dangerous at tourney time.

What is Dixies record now.

i agree with most of your comments, however, in this particular game it seemed that Guiduigli was playing Cowboy becasuse every time he got the ball it was very predictable that he was not passing. He drew some good fouls and made some free throws and is a very strong player but he definitely was looking for TV time in this game. He already has his UC football scholarship shouldnt be trying to earn a Bball one. Unselfish play is what will take the Birds to the REgion title and if you try that against a team like Holmes or Cov Cath it will get you an L in a region game.
