? | Pre-season #5 thrashes #4 in Richmond. The Indians (3-0) led the Cardinals (2-2) by comfortable margins at every break, but really closed strong with 27 points in the 4Q.

Wow. 

That's too bad.

I expected Madison Central to win, and win comfortably. I did not expect them to blow them out by 28.  The addition of Burton to what was already a top 10-15 team has made them scary good.

Where did he play last year?

He averaged 21.1 points, and 5.9 rebounds per game last season as a freshman at Knox Central. He can fill it up.  He shot 50% overall, 40% from 3, and 82% from the line.

His dad was the head coach at Union College. I'm pretty sure they won a national championship, I could be wrong. 

Feldhaus, shot 26 free throws, more than George Rogers Clark shot collectively as a team.  Does that seem odd to anyone?  He fouled constantly both on defense and offense.

Sounds like he was fouled constantly on offense. ?

Feldhaus played like a bull but GRC wasn’t permitted to match his physicality. Big guy for  GRC couldn’t get close to feldhaus. Gay was a no show for GRC. Burton can fill it up. Looked like he got hurt so he wasn’t himself. GRC soph Akins was pretty impressive. He had to have 25-30 points. Central has a squad!

Is Jake Deron's son or Alan`s son? Madison Central looks to be the real deal!

I would like to see the full box score. Madison Central shot about 20 more free throws than GRC did and Feldhaus had 24 of their 37 free throws.

I've yet to determine the reasons for a win/loss or a free throw discrepancy from a box score. If I saw film, sure - fouls on the floor, while shooting (and was it on a 2 or 3), or when a team was in the bonus - ?

Some better indicators maybe of how this game played via the stats submitted was by the slash lines and rebounding margin. Again without seeing the game - ?

Madison Central 94 George Rogers Clark 66

● MC % 48/42/70; Rebounds 49.

● GRC % 35/33/65; Rebounds 28

The Cardinals lost to Daviess County 64-52 at home Saturday shooting 32/25/50 and getting outrebounded 36-30. There might be a trend.
