VIDEO- Colonels 'Ware' Out Tilghman in Opener | Your Sports Edge

Really enjoyed watching coach stovall do his thing last night.

 

Ware was a beast early. But good lord, did Tilghman not have a scouting report? They continually just left him open on the outside. I was happy with how we played but if Paducah Tilghman is the region 1 favorite, yeesh... I don't know what to expect. I have to think that Graves, mcCracken, Marhsall, Calloway or SOMEBODY is better than what we saw from PT last night.

 

They were slow on defense and really didn't have any offense.

 

I'm hoping we are "just that good though". Great start for the colonels.

This could be a wake up call for PT. Also thanks for all the updates last night. Enjoy keeping up with our teams in the Western part of the state.

I know its only the first game of the year and there we will learn much more in the next few weeks, but 2 things I take from this game.

 

First, the Jekyll and Hyde Tornados still exist. I hope they can change that this year. This has haunted them the past few seasons. Consistency is a huge problem.

Second, Christian County seemed really one dimensional. Good defensive teams will be able to contain Ware and force others to contribute.

These are all good points. Tilghman is loaded with talent, but it sure didn't play out that way last night. Very sloppy with the ball and we can't hit a free throw for anything. Ball movement wasn't very good. All in all, a bad performance on opening night.

 

Tilghman has a very high ceiling, but like you hear so many times, the floor can get awfully low. They have to be more consistent in all areas.

 

Christian, on the other hand, moved the ball well. Even though Ware had a big game, it was mostly in the flow of the offense.

 

I think both teams will be tough outs come season's end.

I was amazed at the space Tilghman gave ware in the first half. His scouting report is that his range is somewhere around the hash. To not have a guy in his face as soon as he crossed the line is inexcusable. In reality, if Tilghman plays smart defense in the first half it's probably a different game. Teams that know Ware and Christian County will make sure to limit him. Even last year when we had far more talent teams started to figure out that if ware couldn't score, we couldn't score.

 

UHA did it in their win over us and hoptown did it when they destroyed us in district. I worry a LOT about our scoring, even if we get trice back. I just didn't see great effort on defense by Tilghman. We got a LOT of easy looks on the drive and I don't think we are great "driving" team.

 

I was pleasantly surprised at the intensity we showed on defense. But against the guards in our district I question whether or not we can sustain that. Krump/Tandy and Johnson/whoever hoptown puts out there will cut through a press like butter.

Agreed!
