Villa Madonna 47 Lloyd 44

[32minutesofpressure]

Sloppy first game for both of these two teams. Krutzer from Villa Madonna had 18 points, but the player of the game was the Lockart girl from Lloyd. She had 20 points and had to be close to 20 rebs. And that was sitting the last few minutes of the 1st quarter and all of the 2nd quarter with foul trouble. She is the best "forward" I have seen this early season so far.

 

Why have I never seen her name mentioned as a Top Player?

 

Good luck to both teams. It looked like a first game for both teams.

Tawni is one of the best forwards in the area. She had a similar game against Villa last year. The paper said there was a turnover at the end to secure the game for villa. Any details on what happened? Anyone there?

I was there. The Lloyd coach called a timeout with about 20 seconds left in the game down 45-44. He must have drawn up a play to get Lockart the ball inside, but she had to come help get the ball out of bounds. She then kicked it out to one of their guards who then threw a bad return pass to Lockart. It was stolen, there was a foul. Villa made both free throws to go up by 3. Lloyd had a chance to get a three off, but fumbled the ball.

 

I was very impressed with Lockart. I haven't seen too many girls go and JUMP for rebounds like she does! I would like to see her against a better team than Villa, but I am not sure that her teammates will be able to get her the ball against a better team. They play Ludlow coming up. I would love to see her and Daughtery go head to head!

 

I guess Lloyd was without starting Center Tiffany Herman for some reason. The parent in the stands next to me wasn't sure what the situation was. Does anyone know what was up with that? Would she have helped?

And another funny thing about the game was the the whole first quarter was played with a guys basketball. The coach from Lloyd pointed that out during the time between quarters. He just asked them if it was a girls ball because both teams were firing up airballs and short on all shots. Good eye coach!

Sounds like a great game and congrats to Villa on the win...However I seen Lockart play a few times last year, and she is talented. However unless she has improved a whole lot from last season, then I just don't see how she would be mentioned as one of the top players in the region. Also from what I seen, she is definitely not a better foward than Ashley Daughtery from Ludlow. Don't get me wrong though she is a really good player, and it should be a good matchup when Ludlow and Lloyd play...

I will agree with you on that one.....if they guard each other (which I would guess they would), they both might foul out in the first half! They both are physical, with Daughtery having a lot more polished inside game and touch. Lockart just jumps real high!

Well Ludlow does have 3 really big girls down in the post. So probably wouldn't see Daughtery on her the whole time, if anything just to make sure she don't get in foul trouble. And plus if Julie Hardin is on her, it would make it tough for Lockart to shoot over her, because I mean any girl is going to have a tough time shooting over Hardin...

You got that right! I watched 2 or 3 Brossart girls shoot their shots into Hardins armpits (no joke)....

Villa wins and all you talk about is Ludlow and Llyod. Great win Blue Lighting. With all the talent you graduated good to see you still have a lot of game.

It was a great win for Villa! I don't deny that at all. They played a great game as a team. However, I thought the best player on the court was from Lloyd...it all got away from there. My bad!

 

Villa has good size and controlled the tempo of the game!

 

Congrats to Coach Shields and his team for starting 1-0!!!

Good win for Villa, they are young. Lockard and Daugherty are in the same class, both Jrs. It will be good to see them if they meet in the districts. Lockard won the battle as a frosh, Ashley Daugherty last year as a soph. So, this year would be another interesting one. Villa can get in as well with young talent, and of course you have Dixie in the district. This is a pretty even district, but Ludlow is top dog right now. I know this could be used in another thread, but what happens when Cooper High is in the mix next season? Does one of those teams from that district come into the 34th? Possibly St. Henry?
