Nice article from Elizabethtown newspaper. TheNewsEnterprise.com

 

Highlights of things I saw at the game.

 

Erin Boley does so many things other than score. No secret to anyone that has seen her play but what makes her so much better than everyone else is her ability to make everyone around her better. The game against sk is a great example of what makes her special. Sk was able to hold her in check scoring for the most part (Buckner for sk did s tremendous job guarding her) but that didn't bother her. She kept playing and contributed in all other aspects including 12 rebounds and 3 of elizabethtowns 17 assists.

 

Her team first approach is refreshing and certainly a huge part of her overall success. I truly believe e-town is better than they were last year. Scary for the rest of the state

 

By contrast SK only had 6 assists lead by a kid that is not a primary ball handler. Sk seemed to be focused on 'me' first and team second. Whereas e-Town whipped the ball around, Sk seemed to hold the ball looking to score instead of moving it to the open players. Also really struggled against the pres as they wanted to dribble thru double teams instead of passing. Sk big continues to post and the guards simply look at her. She needs to improve on finishing consistently but the guards must feed the post the ball. Harmeyer was back for sk. Niece for sk struggled and went down with an injury well after the game was decided. E town jumped out early in 3rd and capitalized on too many unforced turnovers to put the game out of reach.

 

Hopefully etowns display of ball movement and leadership by Erin boley set a good example for the pioneers.

This SK team has a lot of growing up to do. I just hope it happens THIS year. It will be interesting to see how SK plays without Neace.

Is she injured?

Wow. That's a beating.

Is she injured?

 

Speculating only. She took a very hard fall and SK plays today (provided no weather cancellation).

Wow. That's a beating.

 

I don't want to sound bias but the game really was much better than the score. SK did a great job limiting Boley (Megan Buckner mostly did the work). The score was closer until the 4th quarter and then it got ugly. Stinson is a great player and so is Taylor Thomas, she had a great game too. E-town is loaded and showed why they are the state favorite.

Boley had 14 points and 14 rebounds. Named Player of the Game. Niece was named player of the game for SK even with her getting a concussion and playing less minutes than normal. Congrats to both Boley and Niece.
