Great second half by the Camels. I am hoping this is a start to a nice run (similar to previous years).

 

Yes, Camels seemed to pick up the pace in the 2nd half as well. Keep saying they should play more uptempo as they seem to do well in that style. With so many guards, good shooters, and a 6'9" guy that can run the floor, they can steal some points before defenses have a chance to build a fortress around Wilson.

Am I the only person not shocked by this score?

Camels have a significant size advantage and were hitting shots. That combination leads to this margin.

It's difficult to be "the initiator of contact" with 2-3 guys hanging and holding and grabbing jersey. Wilson takes up a lot of space and is a strong kid who is tough to handle. In my opinion he does a good job moving and trying to get into position to receive the ball. He gets beat up and is double and triple teamed every game but you will rarely see him complain, ever throw an elbow, or lose his cool. Good tough player.

No.

 

When all is said and done, I believe the Camels have as good or better a shot at coming out of the region as anyone.

It's a 5 team race IMO...

Disagree. Augusta had guys hanging on him most of the night.

 

Side note- Brian Kirk was asking...nay, begging for a technical foul in the 4th quarter and the refs didn't give him one. Panthers never quit...of course they never stop playing hard. CC played like a top region team in the 2nd half.

 

That happened at our game too, I think he's trying to fire his guys up.

Bad move on his part to do that in this game.

That's what I thought as well.

Will agree that the aggressive D on Wilson was there when Snapp was out of game. Only two of his fouls came against Wilson and both were touch, not muscle calls. Once Snapp went out, the replacements had no ability to stop his penetration, so Kirk went with only strategy he could and chose to put Wilson on the line. Problem was he must of had three or four AndOnes. I take nothing away from Wilson, he is a hard-clean player that keeps yapping and look-at-me completely out of his game. Camels have a chance to three peat, and I congratulate Coach Russell for once again getting them ready at the right time.

I thought I heard Campbell shot over 60% from the field. I think hey hit 9 "3"s. They shot the ball very well. It also seemed like Augusta struggled on the offensive boards.

 

Didn't think officiating was a factor. I didn't think it was good, but wasn't bad either. Didn't seem to really benefit either side. Not sure the number of fouls Augusta wracked up, but I think 3 of their fouls were on Spradlin, and they were obvious. It looked clear when he was in the game, his task was to, maybe not to actually foul, but body up Wilson.

The Camels have a significant size advantage every time they step on the floor and they're a .500 team

 

Coaching?

Haven't they won the region the last two years? Coaching there too or no?

They won the region last year and lost to a smaller Covington Catholic team

 

Campbell County is by far the largest school in the region

 

What do they have 800 boys in the school?

 

Not too hard to find 10 who can play

OK, win: not coaching, just big school. Lose: coaching. Thank you for clarification! I will step out now.

You give a good coach 800 boys and he's not .500

 

Just sayin
