Have Illinois and La Salle signees on their team. Weren't a bad team but they are now 0-3 in KOB.

Your comments really aren't needed. You constantly feel the need to bash KIDS and it's getting old.

 

You defend a Holmes player who got into a yelling match with his own coach yet crush a Wayne Co. kid in that other thread. I know Danny probably has a history or whatever but this is hypocritical to the max.

Bolden also didn't drop an F bomb at an opposing coach...and I never publicly said who the kid was so how was I bashing anyone in particular like Danny is doing here? Moving along.

That's probably for the best.

They had size and were very athletic. Would likely be on the back end of the top 20 in KY. They lost to South Shore, NY then Hopkinsville by 8 before losing to Holmes in double OT.

 

Starting lineup went:

 

6'1, 6'3, 6'5, 6'6, 6'7...with a 5'11 and 6'1 G coming off the bench, as well as another 6'4 F.

 

The 6'7 kid was built a lot like Drew McDonald, but no where near as skilled.

 

6'5 Karl Harris is committed to LaSalle.

6'6 Brandon Hutton is committed to Iowa.

 

Top 10 and one of the most talented teams in the Chicago area:

If a kid does something on the field of play during a game then posting about it is fair game.

Agreed. Most negative person on here. Must be a joy to be around during the holiday season.

Think they went 0-3. Was a little disappointed in them in that they came that far and really weren't what I expected.

Honestly, was I bashing,,,the ref not me hit him with the T..

 

Got a friend on Holmes faculty that says this young man is one of the finest in the school. Always respectful and is in the gym continuously rather then hanging in the inner city atmospheres. Very good student and popular with classmates. Technical for hanging sure looked to be an aggressive and unnecessary call by ref. This young man does not deserve being painted ugly IMO.

De La Salle featured 6'5 LaSalle committed Karl Harris (16 pts) and 6'6 Iowa commit Brandon Hutton (11 pts' date=' 6 rbs) and Rod Avery was still a man among boys today. He absolutely put a DLS defender on a poster off an oop from McClendon. Was ridiculous. Bolden will have to sit 2 games. Picked up a tech in the first qtr with 602 left on a double tech between him and Harris for jawing then picked up a 2nd tech in the 2nd OT after dunking in transition and spinning around on the rim.[/quote']

 

Not the maturity you'd like to see from your senior leader.

I re watched the play while editing the film...didn't look to be much jawing like I originally said. Harris was trapped at mis court and Bolden reached around from behind to try and draw a jumpball. Foul gets called on him and he has ahold of the ball. Neither player lets go and Harris kind of nudges Bolden with his elbow to get him to let go of the ball so the ref calls a double T...neither coach was happy about it. In that situation, you simply tell the two captains to chill and move on. Neither player deserved a T for that...very weak, just like the dunk T on Bolden

So Bolden dunked and got a T for what hanging on the rim?
