. Henderson guarded Walker last year when they played NCh and held his own with 5 blocks and 2 dunks, so I doubt Mcclure or Jones are going to be too much for him to handle.

 

You are leaving out that he scored 40+, but we have had that argument before.

I've always suspected we're not getting the whole story with his posts ...

believe it was 50.

I think a lot of you are going to be just as impressed with Holmes front court. Rice is probably going to be the best player on the floor. Henderson guarded Walker last year when they played NCh and held his own with 5 blocks and 2 dunks, so I doubt Mcclure or Jones are going to be too much for him to handle.

 

Guard play, once again, is where this game will be won. Jefferson and Hill are both all state caliber players. If Holmes comes out with their press from the get go, or even drops back in a zone, I think Tighlman is going to struggle. (from what I've saw on film.)

Henderson held his own? Didn't Bill Walker go for about 50pts and 20rebounds for the game?

In the few games I have watched Holmes, they haven't pressed much other than 1/2 court man to man.

I think the key for Holmes will be make a few outside shots like Henderson did against CovCath.

Walker only had 8 points in the first qtr. Henderson guarded him in the first qtr and this is when he got his 5 blocks and 1 of his 2 dunks. Hill took over qtrs 2 through 4 and rotated that position with Nelson because Henderson moved over to guard the other big man.

How many times have you seen Holmes play? Against CCH they only made 3 treys the whole game in the regional championship.

 

Holmes is very good at getting to the basket with Jefferson or Hill and dumping it off to Rice or Henderson.

 

If Henley knows a team has weak guards against pressure, he'll press the whole game, and throw waves of players at the opposition to wear them down.

Holmes rolls and picks up a head of steam.

Walker only had 8 points in the first qtr.

"Only" 8 in a quarter?

 

Last time I checked ... 8 x 4 = 32.

Maybe you're right but Henderson didn't guard him the whole game so we'll never know. I think you better be a little worried about how he's going to do OFFENSIVELY against Tighlman. Not how he did as a soph on defense against a future NBA'er.

Hey, you're the one that claimed Henderson held his own against Bill Walker, only to eventually reveal that Henderson "held" Walker to a mere eight points in a quarter.

 

As for Henderson ... I've seen the kid play and I know he's capable of having a breakout game. I don't need you to make me aware of it.

From the KYpost today about this match up...

 

Scouting reports have given Paducah Tilghman coach Brad Stieg a good idea of what his team will be up against when it plays Holmes in the first round of the boys' state basketball tournament at 8 p.m. Wednesday at Rupp Arena.

He was only a shophmore who was probably 5'9"-5'10" last year. Playing against a 6'8" super senior.

Its impressive to see Henderson raised his avg for pts per game from 13 to 22 during the last 3 games.
