Great Crossing leading 49-27 at the end of the 3Q.

59-39 Great Crossing with 3 minutes left in the game.

Great Crossing wins 66-51.

Ballgame.

The Colonels played hard you could tell they missed their football guys.

Watched this one online and it was a tough one for the Colonels. Personally, I don't know what the strategy was from the coaches, I give them some blame as their preparation seemed very poor. In tough games it's important to motivate your players, and I see that lacking from the coaches.

Although, the players could not get anything going, so they have shared responsibility. Caden Miller was dominated in the inside by the Great Crossing bigs, and offered zero inside presence for the Colonels. This was my preseason concern for Cov Cath. If Miller can't step up in a big way, this is going to be a long season. McGillis is having pre-season shooting woes and can't seem to get it going when his team needs him most. Hussey needs to take more of a vocal leadership role in order for them to be successful. My early prediction was that they lose by 20 to Great Crossing and we were at 15. 

On to Newport on Saturday, where we will see if they can turn it around. Having Noah Johnson, Cash Harney, and Donovan Bradshaw will be a big help but maybe not much in time for the Newport game as the boys will still be in football shape. 

Early season woes build strength as they move deep into the season.

Cash Harney will be the biggest help.  They need him to run the point.  McGillis playing off the ball, instead of the primary ballhandler will make things a lot easier for him.  As a Colonel fan, I am not worried.  Games like this in the early season are a good thing.  Great Crossing has some athletes.  They are not going to lose too many games.
