CAP Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Coming off a tough loss to NCC I think Holy Cross wins this one in a tight contest, McClendon is tough to handle and if she takes control early in the game HHS will have trouble. I could be wrong because HHS is a good team and they play smart, I just think Holy Cross will be to much for them. But I could be wrong especially if HHS gets hot from 3 point land.

RCC9 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If HC struggled to score against Beechwood and NCC, I assume that struggle will continue with the strength of the Birds being their defense. HC will have to be able to shoot the ball outside to be successful. However, HC defense is no slouch either. It will come down to the shooting of the Birds and if they can stretch HC out on defense. If they do, they win. If they don't, it will be a long, low scoring night for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notaref Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I say Highlands using some other teams game plan and wins. Hard to break down this game with no individual stats on the KHSAA from Holy Cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with having trouble scoring against Beechwood but they scored 50 points against NCC to my that's not having trouble scoring. I agree Highlands will have to shoot well to beat them but even in a zone McClendon got to the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"McClendon triple from a good 27 feet......NBN" McClendon may have 30 tonight, but HHS has always contained her...even when she had all the help and the focus wasn't on her. She is a great player, but she will get the attention tonight for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few games I have watched her play this year her outside shooting has surprised me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a great player, but she will get the attention tonight for sure. That's my quote from the update thread, and it was from every bit of that distance.....I was shocked when she let it fly from that far away. I found it completely strange that she barely tried to drive the lane all night. Breds defense was good, but she could have forced the issue by taking it to the hole more than what she did.

Lawnboy13 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Will @RCC9 be dressed in disguise tonight?........or since the game is in the Fort, he feels a bit more safe. :lol2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egs300 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 A heave? I wouldn't say it was a heave. A heave is generally a shot that thrown towards the basket in desperation attempting to make it. I would say this was open shot (admittedly much further out than anyone is use to her shooting) and NCC's didn't think she would take it but she did and fortunately it gave those in attendance some bonus play.

RCC9 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I say a heave loosely, meaning it was not a typical shot that any high school girl shoots or practices...especially someone not known for their three point shooting skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
