7th grade-

1/2 of the Semi-final was determined last night in Dayton-

Highland over Beechwood -47-37

Conner over St. Thomas-51-26

 

Coming Tonight-

 

Conner/Highlands

 

Bottom Half

Woodland/Beechwood for second time this tournament

Summit View/ St.Thomas

 

Should be three good games-

Highlands started to press in 2nd Qtr Beechwood has no Point and can’t handle pressure and had turn overs

Beechwood really sloppy

 

I thought Beechwood had a very good point guard?

They do. He had an off night like most of the boys.

 

Beechwood - and their outstanding point guard - dismantled Highlands in the first quarter, who then proceeded to do the exact same - and more - to the Tigers the remainder of the contest.

 

Great effort by Highlands over an ouof character sloppy Beechwood team that wasn’t hitting shots post 1st quarter.

Woodland absolutely has the most ridiculous parent group I’ve ever seen. Feel bad for these kids with the way these folks behave at games. This group was problematic last year too. No reason for it...

Final

7th grade-

Conner victorious in a shootout against Highlands -

Highlands led by #23(Harold) was terrific as The birds hit 12–3s...

 

Two guards from Conner (#4) were huge maybe 50 of 58-

 

Great middle school game, both fan bases should be excited about these two teams!!

Really. Conner looked out of sync tonight, down by 10 in 3rd...I left thinking Highlands in control

I have been told Harold is #3 not 23- #3 was terrific hit several 3’s many and got to home easily, #23 also had a nice game!

@Brcatz- you left two early- both teams put on offensive show - very fun to watch! Conners two guards just went on a tear last 8-9 minutes-they easily hit 12to13 3s between them..

It is Herald....his Uncle Joe played with Lorenzen and Smith on those late 90's Bird 9th Region Champ teams. His Dad is Kenny Herald another former Bird. Gramps is Mike Herald longtime coach in greater Cincinnati. Solid genes there.

13 3’s a piece. Both teams shot well. Don’t believe HIghlands ever led by more than 6 but did lead most of the game. Conner’s #5 was difference maker with 19 points. Both teams put on a show.

As we head into the second half of the season, who are the two or three favorites at each grade level to win the championship?
