JV final

Conner 49

Highlands 48

This one surprises me a little, Highlands playing much better, congrats to the Birds.

Congrats to the Birds, that is a nice win for them.

Birds have won 4 of their last 5.

 

Next up Ryle Friday and Dayton next Tuesday both winnable games.

Correct, thanks I read the dates wrong.

Highlands definitely seems to be improving.

1st quarter I don't think the bluebirds missed a 3. Hardly no fouls called you looked up and 25-9 and the 1st quarter was over.

 

Frinfrock is a load down low. I liked Highlands guard play, they go fast and look to make big plays, big passes it seemed on every position. They had a couple of bad turnovers but I thought they played well.

 

Bench for Conner made this game interesting. Hustle and defense by the reserves got them back in it but the Cougars just could not get over the hump tonight.

 

Cougars have Bellvue on Thursday and Campbell Co @ home on Friday. This will be Conners second home game...they played more games on Lloyds home court than they have at Hebron!

Give us the scoop Q. What has happened that turned Highlands around?

That will be a steep mountain to climb. They will have to take that challenge next week. Until then Ryle is up next.

Impressive win for the Birds.

Not sure as I'm not as close to the program anymore just try to follow. I know they have gotten some huge numbers from their Bell Cow Finfrock. The 3pt shooting has gotten better overall, sophomore Ben Sisson is emerging as a Varsity player, Listerman seems to be using his bench well. I may try and catch em in action soon.

Good article here by C. Michael Graham. Birds are getting contributions from many. Jr Griffin Huber is a great defender and also a good passer. Noe, Traylor and LaFrange can all get hot from behind the Arc. Its nice to see solid play from all positions as well as great bench contributions.

Give us the scoop Q. What has happened that turned Highlands around?

 

Total team effort nightly with very little selfishness. Finfrock getting the ball often from excellent ball movement and he converts...He's a monster! Huber sets the tone with his defense and hustle....he does not back down. 4 very good outside shooters. Posey as starter and Green off bench are at their best penetrating and feeding the bigs. Great bench play. Listermann is a heck of a coach in my humble opinion. Team chemistry is terrific. This team doesn't let up.
