Conner 71 Ryle 54


Recommended Posts

Great game tonight in Hebron. Conner started off fast and never looked back. Leading at the end of the 1st 25-10, Ryle just couldn't get the shots to fall, Ryle also looked small. Not the Ryle teams I've seen in the past. I don't know who #15 is for Ryle but that kid is very good. The Cougars needed someone to step up tonight, and they did great play by #13 #30 #20. Great game for the cougs should be fun to see how the season plays out.

Impressive win for the Cougars. Hemmerich went down in the first couple minutes of the game with an ankle injury and did not return. Michael Scott led the way with 22 points. His ability to slash to the basket and finish at the rim has really improved. Kyler Padgett scored a season high 11 points to help fill the scoring void left by Hemmerich's injury, who is the Cougars leading scorer on the season. Padgett appears to be getting his basketball legs underneath him and looks more in sync.

 

Conner once again applied full court pressure throughout the game, which forced many turnovers. The impressive part to me was when Ryle did break the trap in the backcourt there was consistently a Conner player sprinting back to stop the ball or cause a deflection near the basket. This team plays hard.

 

Coach McFarland was not a happy person last night. He was constantly pulling kids and sitting them for not following instructions and their game plan. Most of this seemed to revolve around the Ryle press offense. Seemed he was trying to make several points to his kids and he made it clear to do what you are told or you are going to sit. Plain and simple.

 

Word is Hemmerich is out indefinitely. He was wearing a boot when he left the gym last night. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

 

Conner moves to 6-1 on the year. Nice start for the Cougs, with their lone loss coming to Cooper.

Ryle has a very small team compared to the Ryle teams of the past. What is good about this years Cougars, is the depth they have. So when a key player like hemmerich goes down its next man up! That's really going to help the them in some games.
