bjim Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 With the exception of the folks that authored the basketball preview this wasn't really a suprise. Conner has a good team and is very balanced, which the box score indicates. If I were Conner my only concern might be that most of Holmes's points came from close to the basket. This is based on the Coach's comments that Conner had trouble with Holmes's bigger girls. Anyway their balance carried the day for them. Good luck to both teams!
MVPNash Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 bjim...I personally couldn't agree more with the first line of your post. I've said it from early on that they are a top team in the 9th as well as the top team in the 33rd. I also stated that I cannot understand why Hodges rarely gets mentioned...she is one of the toughest and most fearless players I have ever seen.
welovethisgame Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Having watched the game, Conner displayed a lot of weapons, mostly outside shooting. Their full court defense was stellar. I doubt too many are going to stop Weaver this year so her 24 points are not that relevant from the Conner perspective. The pace slowed in the second half but there was really no need to hammer out a 30 point win. It was Conner in control all the way. Long was on fire, Hodges played agressively with many of her points coming late in the game, Beasley ran point effectively and 6th man Johns is always good for some impressive shots. I would say that when preparing for the Conner team be ready for a battle. Pretty solid outing.
cshs81 Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 How many strong post players are there in NKY outside of Weaver?
welovethisgame Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 It is hard to call Weaver a post, she hit a bunch from beyond the free throw line last night and brought the ball up the floor when things got tight defensively. Webb is a strong post for Holmes. Behrens for Boone is a good post along with Cundiff at NCC.
Hamilton Joe Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 No real surprise to me on this one. Although Holmes may have the better talent in at least a few positions you just never know what team from Holmes will show up game to game, week to to week and year to year. Not always the most disciplined team that I have watched but Weaver is certainly a nice player to watch..Congrats to Conner on a nice win..
doubledeuce Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 How many strong post players are there in NKY outside of Weaver? She is not a post player.
CHSalum07 Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Nice win for Conner and the coaching staff.
