I must have been at an entirely different scrimmage. Sorry this may disappoint you triple 7's but SK was actually the aggressor except for a short stint of time. No disrespect to either team as I thought both teams played physical, actually to physical, and it got to the point of no longer having a scrimmage because nothing was being accomplished other than risking injury. Stowers did pull his team after the PG came off a high screen and the Brossart player (which must of had 20 fouls no exaggeration) shoved the PG and starting bumping her to nearly half court. The refs did call a foul but on SK's PG. This after tempers were already high on both teams and an SK player thru an elbow after getting hit twice in the post with no whistle.

So the point being, great call by the coach as neither team was accomplishing much due to the physicality and kids were just getting angry and starting to take things in their own hands. That's on the officials as both coaches repeatedly requested for them to tighten things up.

As for the 'enforer' role. Their is no bigger physical presence than Meir. I've also heard that Buckner played extremely tough this summer having to go against some of the top Centers in the nation in Meir's absence so it sounds like SK is in good hands.

Where they will miss Bosse the most is the leadership role that she played but I expect that someone will evolve into that as time goes by. Keep in mind, they start 3 Soph, 2 Jr's and have a soph and two 8th graders as their top subs right now. That's a young team but highly competitive as evidence by these girls skill levels. They clearly work at their game.

 

I really have a hard time seeing anyone in the 8th beating them and fill its theirs to lose. Will see how they develop as they have an extremely tough schedule so they will no where they fit in the grand scheme of things in a short period of time.

One thing to add: One of the 3 sophomores, Harmeyer, is the transfer from Grant. She started varsity in 8th and 9th grade. So she's not just a good JV player that is getting an opportunity. She has experience. Her 11.5 ppg and 5.5 rpg, FT 75% .and FG 42% ranked up there among the leaders last yr. She enters her sophomore season with 415 varsity pts. Only time will tell if things work out for her in this new environment, but I see it working out well

We know these two do not like each other very much..sounds like intensity in mid season form already

 

Way off base. These two are not even in the same region. No bad blood what so ever. SK just had bad experiences with 10 th region officials last year at Campbell and at Scott. This experience merely reinforced perceptions of the other two.

 

SK has no problem with physical play WITHIN THE RULES.

thanks for clearing it up but I remember a game a while back that things got sort of chippy

SK just had bad experiences with 10 th region officials last year at Campbell and at Scott.

 

Bad experiences because they lost? I was at the SK/Scott game last year (1 of the few girls games I was able to attend, mostly see boys games) and it was 1 of the top 3 games I saw last year. Mainly because the refs stayed out of the game and let the players decide it.

 

Most teams that play physical don't like when teams are physical towards them.

Most teams don't complain about physicality until one of their kids gets hurt. Then they whine like infants! Ask triples about that one!

I'm not sure what your trying to say and why you would mention me in this post.

 

Honestly, it makes no sense. Your thread introduction clearly stated that at a certain point, the SK coaches thought the physicality was too much (beyond legal) and pulled the players of the court. Now you say most people don't complain? I guess I'd pick one.

 

I'm going to try to go high road here and really hope you are not making light of teams, coaches or parents when kids get injured. That would be on the edge of despicable. I have been around more than enough families that have had to deal with injuries that have resulted from the physicality of basketball, as many folks have, and NONE of them are something to make jabs at.

 

Finally, if you have a question for me, you could just ask me yourself.
