Almost every expects St. Henry to win this game. They are playing well and coming off two easy wins. Also a big win against District rival and #2 ranked Boone Co.

 

To beat St. Henry you must stop Cameron Speed, Dave Zumdick, and Derek Adams. They defend very well and are probably one of the scrapiest teams in the 9th Region.

 

For St. Henry to beat Villa they need to shut down the two scorers. Stephen Love had more than 30 in his last game and will put up double digits every game. The sophmore PG, Bryant I believe, can shoot but will not match up well against the guards of St. Henry

 

Villa-39

St. Henry-58

St. Henry needs to keep Villa in a half court offense and not let Bryan get out and run.

 

 

Villa needs to keep the turnovers down, stay out of the traps, and give a back cut or two to keep St. Henry honest and out of the passing lanes.

St. Henry by 10.

Expect another easy win for St. Henry.

Anybody remember the last time the All "A" was held at Dayton high school?

I like St. Henry's chances. :banana:

St. Henry 84-72. Both teams are going to want to get up and down the floor. Ill take the crusaders in a high scoring game. St. Henry is too deep for Villa. Villa's guys may all foul out from the St. Henry penetration in the first half!

There is no way that Villa can keep up with St. Henry's up and down style of play.

St. Henry 64-46.

Swikert is the one that hurt Boone.

Wouldn't that be crazy if the finals were Beechwood and Villa!

Villa can win if they get 30 each from Love and Bryant. But that's the only way.

Swikert is the one that hurt Boone.

 

Very true. Joey Swikert has really come on of late. He played very well against Boone and hit some huge shots.

I don't think that is true at all... Villa runs up and down the court too... I've seen both teams more than once and am fairly sure the fastest player on the court will be Bryan, FWIW...

To go any further in this tournament, you will need to play defense. St. Henry going away.

I believe what St. Henry does on defense is nothing like Bryan has ever seen. He's a nice player and will be for a few years. I don't think there is any way this kid can prepare for the type of defense Faust has his boys play.

 

From watching him the other night, he doesn't like contact. He cried many times about fouls that weren't even close to being fouls. I can truely see him getting a technical on Friday because of the frowns and looks he gives officials. There will be much more tough defense from St. Henry than there was from Ludlow.
