Heard 28. Determined tonight! Looked really good.

Ok we get it that Hatton was determined. Isn't he always?

While I haven't seen many Dixie games this year there have been reports that he wasn't always fully engaged. However, that can be tough to gauge with Brandon as his expression never changes.

Dixie's whole team was locked in. Was nice to see. Word on the street is there was a harlem shake sighting in the locker room after the game.

Post-game lockerrooms after big Ws are a fun place to be.

I think Hatton has been allowing the young Dixie players to get as many touches, shots and experience as he can to this point in the season. Now that it is tournament time, winning games is all that matters and he will do whatever it takes to win.

Nick Niehaus has really stepped up the last half dozen games. He's been "Hatton-lite" to the team. And when he plays like that it opens up so much more on the offensive end.

Is he a soph or a junior?

Needs some consistency but he has a chance to be strong the next two years.

Next year should be a good year for Dixie.

Have to admit I thought this one would be closer but Dixie stepped it up. Looking forward to seeing then in the region again.

Congrats to Dixie! Looks like my prediction of 13+ for the Red Colonels was spot on. Simply to much young talent on Dixie's team for St Henry's seniors to handle.

 

You better give Brandon a big hug for going 10-10 from the line in the 4th qtr. :lol:

I know many expected him to be a big contributor this year...while very quiet for most of the season he's putting it together at the right time.

Niehaus played a very strong game last night. Agressive and a nice looking shot.

St.Henry went something like 4 of 16 from the foul line in the first half, and not much better for the whole game. Hit some foul shots and its a much better game.

Not having Carr for this game hurt the Crusaders also as Noble,Rechtin and Kunstek all pick up early 2 fouls.

This happened to Dixie as well with Hedger, Rabe and Niehaus all on the bench with 2 early fouls as well. But Dixie's deep bench came in to help.
