Manual will definitely end up in the field for the Seventh region tournament; I'm curious as to how far they're able to go. Like everyone else in that pack of teams placed from about 3-6 (Manual, Eastern, St. Xavier, Waggener), it'll be a function of avoiding an early draw against Ballard or Trinity. All will almost certainly be district champions meaning Manual should be able to avoid them until at least the semis.

 

Sutton is having a REALLY nice season for the Crimsons.

189 total points, Wow. Had to fun to watch.

Sutton is a great player and he saved Manual with his rebounding. Jtown has a great display of shooting (Williams 8 threes, Johnson 6 threes) and Marshal had no trouble getting to the rim for his 34 points. Manual played a more balance game and seem to be hitting their stride...

Johnson missed a 3 at the buzzer that would have sent the game to a second overtime. Very fun game to watch.

I noticed coach Davenport from Bellarmine in the stands to watch Sutton last night. Waynie was obviously impressive. Both teams put on a shooting display Manual hit 13 of 30 threes (Sutton 5-8, Chris West 4-9, Jarrett Harness 3-8, and Jake Chilton 1-2), while J-town hit 15 of 36(Daniel Williams 8-15, Brandon Johnson 6-14, and Brandon Marshall 1-6) Marshall attacked the rim and hit 8 of 10 two's and 13 of 17 fts. Sutton also had 14 rebounds and 5 assists.

 

Really fun game to watch. J-town runs some really good sets to get Williams and Johnson looks from three.

Jtown needs to put more focus on defense to be successful and soon as Bullitt East on Tuesday determines #1 seed in district.

 

Sutton has a great head on his shoulders, as Coach Just has ran away many players from that program. They seems to be playing better now that Reed has left the team. Sutton would be a great mid-major player although Bellermine is not a bad pickup.
