Or SK beating Highlands? Not that big of a shocker if you consider how many similar type upsets there have been in the 9th and statewide, especially recently. Now if someone with a really bad record beat them, I would say it was a shocker.

Wildcatfan: Beechwood is a Division III basketball school. Their primary competition comes from other Division III schools. Normally when a Division III school ventures out of Division III, the results are not favorable. Despite their winning record, a win over mid-major Holy Cross is huge! Ludlow succeeded earlier this year against Conner, which was also a nice win for the Panthers.

 

Even the nice Beechwood team that Mike Herald coached with the other Romes boy a couple of years back, they rarely succeeded outside of Division III competition.

 

One big step for Division III basketball and for the Red and White Tigers tonight!!! That one will earn you some respect at Dickmann's.

Agreed. These two with the combination of #21 is the heart and sole of BW. Hall adds to these 3 and is 3pt compliment that they need. A week ago I had Alex Hall on my "Players to watch list". He's now off of it and #21 and Romes are added on to it.

 

On another not, Holy Cross players played hard. The difference in my opinion was BW outcoached HC.

 

I believe #21 is Nathan Snyder, not positive though. Beuttel is a great ball player and is the type of guy who you want to run your team. He always has the determination that you want in every player. Against Cov Cath he adjusted his game and was the only one who really drove to the basket. The Tigers can win the All A if they play up to there capability. Having Romes back really "gels" there team. Should be a great game between Beechwood and winner of NCC/ Newport. Good win Coach Shumate and tigers:thumb:

Congrats to the Tigers. Don't be surprised if they earn a trip to Richmond.

I told you guys in the preview thread that a)it would be a barn burner and b)BW's 5 are better overall than HC's 5.

 

Hats off to Brian Romes. He does something that VERY few high schoolers do or know how to do. When Sorrell wanted to cut without the ball, Romes simply bodied up and cut him off. Its a lost art. There's no rule that says a defender has to follow behind or along side. It makes Sorrell work harder than he has to.

 

You then add in that HC didn't make Romes pay for bodying up. Sorrell was running all over the court trying to free himself up without the ball. Very rarely did HC pick Romes. Romes has to be picked 2 to 3 times per set if he's going to play chest-to-chest on Sorrell. There were times when Sorrell tried to run him off the pick but the picker let up and didn't set the pick. Great job by Romes. Terrible job by HC.

 

I know I'm in the minority but the two players that make BW go on offense IMO are Buettell and Romes.

 

BW's demise will be their FT shooting.

 

Perfect observation. HC coaching staff has to adjust accordingly and did not.

Very well put Mustang

Finally Beechwood is getting some well deserved respect

Congrats to the Tigers! Not what I thought, but still, good win for the beech boys!

What message is that? Beechwood won't see the regional tourney except from the stands.

 

Whoever Beechwood gets in the districts better know to bring their 'A' game. If either CovCath or Holmes think they can sleep walk their way into the Regional they need to wake up. Beechwood has a nice team that just keeps getter better. :thumb: Aside from playing good smart ball (most of the time) they play with a lot of heart. That combination can take you places. They're no pushover. The 35th district tourney could get very interesting. This year, it looks like all 4 teams have something to say.

To be fair to the staff, they weren't the ones NOT setting the picks. The plays were designed to run Cory off the picks but they simply were not there.

True, the staff weren't the ones not setting the picks, but they're the ones responsible for seeing that the picks get set and the plays are run the way they want them run. If the players on the floor aren't setting the picks, they need to adjust by sitting them down and putting someone on the floor who can and will set the picks. There's nothing like taking a seat for a while to inspire you to do exactly what the coach wants!

Nice win for Beechwood, HC is really not playing well.

No, there is just two teams and those two as always are Holmes & CovCath. I hope you don't think for one second that Beechwood is going to beat Holmes or CovCath in the districts because that is not going to happen.

This is a huge win for Beechwood and coach Shumate. Looking at their roster, Brian Romes, Trey Beuttel, and Nate Snyder, another key player to the Tiger's success, are all juniors. This tells me that next year Beechwood will be a team that will be one of the best NKY teams.

I agree! I was going to ask in the prediction thread if Romes was back yet, as I would see Beechwood having a much better game with him in there.

Yeah i know this is so true. What was the score when BW played Holmes?:lol:
