I agree. Stafford will get better about protecting the ball and making better passing decisions as the year goes on. He had a bit of a rough game at times. But he's got the talent to put it all together.

 

And if the Trinity defense keeps clamping down like it did last night, they're going to be right in there with anybody even if they aren't shooting well.

 

It is very early in the year but it is playing out like many on this board has discussed b4. Trinity is young and inexperienced and will go thru growing pains as evidenced last night. One would think they will continue to improve (or not) as the juniors get more playing time.

 

Stafford must develop some type of distributor role when Ivory is out. He rarely looks to pass other than lobs to Spalding. Levitch and Thieneman both play big roles also. The kid with the tremendous upside is the Ramser kid. A player that acts/thinks like a coach on the floor will be invaluable for this team. He also locks down on defense as Szabo definitely put the kid in for critical defensive stops.

 

Its already interesting how these kids (along with Knight-Goff) have already pushed Owens to the bench. If Owens is going to be of value to this team he needs to play inside and not think he is a perimeter player. Ramser and Levitch are the bombers on the team.

 

Mark your calendar for Friday Feb. 14 for the regular season rematch of these two teams at Trinity. I hope we get to see Davis play the entire game and not get in foul trouble this time around. I would anticipate a great game between these two in mid Feb. Lafayette has a good cast around Davis as seen last night when they essentially played the first half without Davis.
