Is Bellevue that bad? Or is Williamstown good?:confused:

Williamstown is a lot stronger this year than in the past.

Then that makes Owen a powerhouse. They beat W-Town by 20+.

:confused: I'm beginnning to think that Bellevue is that bad

It's a combination of both. I was there and from what I saw Bellevue has to find guard play. Jones, I believe had close to twenty and ten for Bellevue, but the guards couldn't get the ball up the floor two straight possisions all game. I didn't see a guard use both hands decently all night.

 

The defense does get after it though, there very scrappy and fast, but the other forward, Young is slow and lazy IMO. I think it's going to be a rough first year for Coach Herald and co unless they find a true guard.

 

But congrats to W-town, they pressured the guards and didn't let up all night. Bellevue was down 20 plus, but made a comeback to ten, but W-town didn't miss more than three free throws all night.

Sounds like Bellevue took one on the chin last night. Kind of surprised considering few were picking them to blow Williamstown out.

This is a major problem down there and has been for the past couple years. They need to get better feeder systems so these kids can get good instruction and learn these fundamentals. If you are never shown the correct way to dribble at an early age and it is never instilled upon you then you will gain bad habits. The Varsity coach certainly doesnt have time to go back to the drawing board and teach right hand / left hand, reverse dribbling, crossovers, low dribble, wraparound, etc.

Tough loss for the Tigers. I would have expected them to win this one.

Well when a bench player drops 34 points against you it's gonig to be a rough night.

Williamstown had a bench player drop 34? I wasn't at the game.

That is what I read in the previous predictions post about the game. A W-town fan posted saying Wes Philpot scored 34 points.
