This score doesn't surprise me. Congrats to Anderson and good luck against SK.

[Mr. Athletics]

Anderson could be a threat to make it to the state finals.

Impressive victory!

Anderson might make it to the final 4. Then you will see what happens. 30. And I like Anderson, lets be real. Marion would have to not show up and Anderson would have to be on fire to stay close. Look at what happened to Etown in the second half.....went from up 1 to almost down 30 in 13 minutes. Etown has at least 4 players that will play D1 ball........So dont get to excited.....

Congrats to Coach Kays and his team.

And Anderson beat that same E-Town team by double figures. Not saying they would beat Marion, but they would probably stand a better chance at staying with Marion then E-Town.

 

But I dont think anybody should "put the cart before the horse" so to speak. I expect Simon and Anderson to be a CLOSE game. Either team could win it.

SK kids were really tight last night. Seems as if the moment has gotten to them. If they have a repeat of 8 unforced turnovers in the first quarter they will be playing catch up all night. On paper, Anderson should breeze. But then again the games are not played on paper. Maybe as the underdog, they will relax.

This certainly is not to wish anything bad upon anyone or any team. But "twists" of fate happen - injuries, illnesses, etc. To presume that the state final is a done deal, even though there definitely is a prohibitive favorite, is jumping the gun, IMO.

Retropop I agree, Marion has to win tonight and keep winning. But if I am a betting man I bet on Marion. Anderson is good, Simon Kenton will give them all they want, look at last year. I saw Marion play at Lex Cath over Christmas and told my buddy who was with me that they maybe the best high school team I have ever saw. Its gonna take a bad night for them to get beat and that upsets people when thats said and I understand. I would not want my team to have to play them and Ill leave it at that.

I agree with you in that I feel that it is Marion's to lose, just like I have said all year that the 8th region is Anderson's to lose. It's just that in the one-and-done reality of tournament time, bad breaks, bad landings, a twist or turn here or there can make the whole thing turn out different than planned because of players not being healthy enough to maintain what they've been doing all year. And since there is little time for making adjustments to go along with the tougher competition when a player goes out, the upset bug can sometimes jump up and bite the favorite - and it can happen at any time. I'm neither a Marion Co. fan nor a hater, but the sound of "having an undefeated state champion" kinda/sorta has a special ring to it.
