The Defenders pressure defense was too much for a Central team missing a couple key players, including Keyshawn Simpson. Butler signee Shelvin Mack had a huge game with 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals. If anyone in the gym tonight doubted his abilities as a D-I prospect, they had their minds changed tonight. Station played very hard and for the most part a pretty smart ballgame. They seemed to know this was a big region game and are determined to make it to the state tournament, as seen by their break-out slogan, "state." Aaron Morris had a rough night as he was pressured and double teamed constantly, but he still managed 12 points and 13 rebounds. If a coach could get his mind straight and focused to play good basketball, he could be a really nice player.

Are you saying Allen Feldhaus doesn't have his (Aaron Morris) mind straight and focused? Just wondering

Station continues to roll!

Feldhaus suspended Morris earlier this year. The mind of a 17 or 18 year old is a difficult thing to get focused

It's not a discredit to Coach Feldhaus (one of the best in the state, which goes without saying) as I think Morris may be putting too much of the burden of carrying the team on his shoulders while some other players like Simpson are injured. He just showed a tendency to lose focus and intensity, moping around when things weren't going his way. His shot wasn't falling and he made some bad passes on offense and had a few too many turnovers. I think the coach can only do so much to motivate and keep his players focused, at some point, the kids have to be responsible for themselves. Morris is a great talent, and for all I know he probably is a good kid, but it just seems like he needs to focus on what he can do to make the team better and not let his bad nights get to him so badly.

Defenders keep on rolling.

Does Station have any other players being recruited by anyone whether D1, NAIA or whatever?
