Cooper 67 Covington Catholic 54

[Walter]

Didn't you have McNeil as #1C ??

 

From that thread:

 

McNeil has the best ALL AROUND game in the region, IMO. Can defend all 5 positions. Can play all 5 positions on offense. One of the most pure shooters in the region and will likely average close to 10 rpg.

 

To be completely honest, I didn't want to slight any of the 3 by putting them "1, 2, 3."

 

I'll leave that to you guys to argue and debate over.

CovCath didn't use Walter?

CovCath didn't use Walter?

 

The only time that I remember him in the game was at the end of a quarter, brought him in for a in bounds play.

[tark the shark]

He will play both. Played 2 more tonite.

 

Where does Cole fit in at the next level? Can he be a full time 1? A D1 2 is a different animal.

All i have heard is about the Walter kid all year and they barely play him?

Strong crew. Called a good game.

 

I want some of what you were smoking. Those refs were horrendous.

Sandlin and Pouncey are very strong!

Him and Zigelemeyer (spelling) were both used at the 5. Heppler was as well but he's not as true as a 5 as the other 2. They did not set up the big 2 for many looks.

Sounds like McNeil is the real deal, and I read a lot about how good a coach Ruthsatz is, which I don't disagree. Come Regionals something has to give, if these are the two best teams in the 9th region they should meet in the semi or finals. Will the coach have a plan to slow down McNeil or allow him his points but shut down everybody else and get the win? Or will McNeil take over the game getting Cooper the win? Already looking forward to this one.

VonHandorf has never been a lights out outside shooter. I think KHSAA website stats from last year has him shooting about 26% from behind the arc. He averages about 16-18pts a game (sometimes more, sometimes less), but shoots a lot of shots to get them. Cole has always been really good at midrange pull up jumpers off the bounce, and getting to the foul line. That is his strength at the high school level. I believe most of this points came from the foul line last night.

I had McNeil for 28 and 8, and I am pretty sure that is what the official score book said as well, but I could be off. The score board also had his point total at 28, which I know doesn't mean anything but 28 or 30 doesn't matter. Kid flat out brought it.

I am not saying anything about the fairness of the calls. I am talking about how much tighter the 2nd half was called. There were more fouls called in the 3rd quarter than what was called in the entire 1st half. My comment was just the observance of the change and how it may have affected the play on the court.

Clueless

I took it as you intended.

My next varsity win will be my 1st, but I'd imagine McNeil will have somebody face guarding him if these 2 meet again in March.
