They have solid basketball only kids in the middle school now. Let's hope they stat at Highlands. They let the 9th Region POY walk 4 yrs ago.

 

Yep.

Woodland just beat Highlands middle school for the championship.

This size of a margin is a shocker to me......what were CovCath's shooting % from the field (2pt. & 3pt.).

So what...that 7th grade group has gone 53-2 over the past 2 seasons. I'd say that is a pretty good winning %.

Coach is not the issue. He'll make it happen. There are not enough hoop only players to field a varsity team at this point, so its unrealistic to shun the football players. This group can't shoot! Look at their shooting %'s!! They will be much, much better next year and much, much better the year after that. Kevin is building. There are really good athletes in the Soph, Frosh and 8th grade classes...some that are hoop only and others who play football too. The issue with this team is that some of the footballers aren't really good basketballers. They play their hearts out for their coach and school. You can only play the cards you have. Listermann can coach. He works his tail off! I'd actually say this group over-achieved based on the talent.

If there are sophomores that are good, they should have been playing.

wow. Just wow! Beaten by 60, and they have overachieved.

Overachieved? As in how? Won 6 more games than they shouldve?

 

They can't shoot because they lift weights and play football 8 months a yr. It's called muscle memory. Just my two cents...if u wanna use the poor shooting excuse.

It wouldn't have made a difference tonight....and the soph's are football players. No one playing at Highlands HS now is playing at the next level basketball whether they give up football or not. It's HIGH SCHOOL....play what you can for your school. Would CC Football not get it handed to them year after year from HHS if any of the two sport players only focused on football and gave up hoops?

Golden State just lost by 30....bad games happen.

Highlands fans sound bitter.

anyone???????

Regardless...it's poor shooting. Basketball players lift weights FYI! They played many games where they were overmatched close till the end. There are good football playing JV players who shoot really well so your muscle memory and weight lifting opinion might not hold water 100%. Do you really think that any of the football playing members of this team would be THAT much better if they gave up football? C'mon! It's high school...you play for your team and school!

Just saying they need to develop more basketball only kids if they want to see success. A big 6'6 kid transferring in wouldn't hurt.

Did you say transferring in? That wouldn't happen at Highlands?
