Final from Florence

Anyone have any stats on this game?

 

Holmes is gonna be tough to beat this year

Don't have any stats, but Boone had to have 20 plus turn overs, Holmes had so many points on steals.

Would like to see some stats from this game good way to kick off the season for the Bulldogs !

Good start for the Bulldogs! Have to protect the ball against the Dawgs!

Would love to see stats of this game. There's a lot of hype in Northern Ky. But playing against a team that "really" plays defense can shut it down!!

I've always loved how Holmes is so disciplined on defense. They put their trust in each other and most of all trust their coach, and it flows. It's great seeing a team that is defensively sound because that's a team effort rather than selfish play. Hats off to Holmes!

Holmes is very athletic and really got after it on defense. Boone had 24 turnovers in the first half and had to be approaching 40 for the game, resulting in many of the Bulldogs points. They are going to be tough to contend with!

Agree, have to protect the ball against them and not give them easy baskets. Easier said than done, but I do think a few teams can protect the ball against their pressure. You also have to rebound and limit their second chance buckets!

Holmes is loaded with athletes. Teams that have an excellent point gaurd along with several other good ball handlers Can play with them. Teams must also protect the paint well and try to force jump shots. They want to get to the rim on every possession. If you don't have a strong PG they will eat you alive.

just food for thought here, Does Holmes have Athletes? Yes, Are they a tough team? yes, Honestly if the go up against any other team who has big girls on the inside and that can compete with them Holmes will be a non factor, their entire strategy for this game was run run run. once you get some of these other NKY teams who can run with them they will be in trouble. Holmes didn't impress me with shooting all their points were off turnovers for easy lay ups.

 

As for the coaching I feel truly sorry for that staff. What in the world are you doing up by 53 at one point still playing your starters and running a full court run and jump. what are you trying to prove in the first week of the season??? Absolutely nothing. This showed no class whatsoever as a coach and if I was one of those Holmes JV players I would be very angry with that staff. Get your younger ones in there to get some minutes on the varsity level especially so they can play at that pace of the game.

 

This was just a shameful act and really showed no sportsmanship at all. Coach Wendlen handled herself and team professionally never giving up and kept her girls in the fight. I see great things getting ready to happen at Boone.

Did you see what happen to Taft last year? They had 85 at half and he still played the starters. With that said did you expect something different? I wouldn't have because that's his MO. I however, do agree with you on getting the younger/JV players in some minutes, especially because the opportunity may not present itself to often.

Coaching aside, Holmes is the team to beat. IMO rest are playing for 2nd in the ninth. Could be back to back state champs out of Northern Ky!

All things come back around. I've seen coach Wendlen run and gun up until the last seconds when she was loaded with JV talent at SK, even calling timeouts with a minute left and up by 20+...and no, it wasn't for substitutions. What comes around goes around. Not to worry, Perkins will get his again some day.
