Newport:

Wow. 77% from 3 point land for Newport. That's crazy. It would have been nice to get to the title game but the outcome there is inevitable.

Snapp was 5-8. So who were the kids that went 5-5?

Snapp kid is filling it up. He has to be avg 23 a game.

20 ppg....best SCORER in NKY for his class, IMO.

 

He has had multiple 30+ point games already this season as well..

Price was 1 for 1, Turner 3 for 3 and Joseph 1 for 1.

 

BTW, the Tigers have matched last season's win total:

 

9-22 last year

9-9 this year

And (not knocking anyone here - just being honest) no doubt in my mind this team is less talented and less experienced than last year's team.

He's had 1 30 pt game. 31 against Nicholas County.

 

Shooting pretty well.46% overall. 40% from 3.

Sorry VOR, would have to disagree with you on this one, the Maus kid is the only player from last year that would contribute. Of course there are carryover players, Shover, Brock and Huff to name a few, but this team is more talented IMO. They have beaten teams they should have, except for a few, Pendleton Coutny comes to mind, but they have not and will not beat anyone who is close to as talented as they are. Hopefully Goetz is developing the middle /grade schoolers, this might be a turnaround job that he is not up to.
