Final from Valley.

 

 

Sets up semifinals St. X versus Trinity in huge rivalry game Friday night.

Chance Dillingham was dialed in tonight and Male looked like got tired in 2nd half because St. X plays so fast. These two will meet again at least two more times. Male is also without Antonio Harris who is injured but not sure what his status is as far as returning. Trinity is great defensive team so Tigers will have to play at high level again to beat them.

I looked at stat report for St. X and St. X played 9 players and what is remarkable is none of the 9 are seniors. 

After watching stall ball for years. It's a welcome change and more entertaining to watch. I was advocate for shot clock because of years watching St. X. Lol.

Maybe we are looking at a return to the Mike Silliman and Tommy Hagan days of the 60's, or even earlier when, I believe, St. X won the state (late 50's, early 60's).

St. X last won the championship in 1962 but are tied for 3rd in the state for most championships with 4.

Congrats Tigers on a very nice win! You guys are hot these days! ??

I think there is only 1 senior on the roster. 

The future is bright for the Tigers!

I haven't seen this team but am happy to see that we have finally changed our style of play. I think Bergamini never felt he had the athletes to compete in a running/pressing offense, an opinion  I have always disagreed with. The athletes have always been there. Kevin finally has realized that. I also think that continuing the style we played for years was going to continue to send the program downward as eventually those athletic kids weren't going to come the X to play.
