For CCH there are only three football players playing basketball, Isler, Robinson, & Connelly, and they have been back for a couple of weeks now.

 

What happened to CCH in the 3d period of this game? It seemed close, at the score, at half.

 

Honest opinion, and I know I may catch some crap for this, is I'm really not sure what lineup Listerman put in. Aside from Isler and I believe maybe Maile or one other true varsity player, he had all JV players in. We were only down by 5 or 6 at this point. It was still a good ball game. Then all of a sudden we're down by 13 and it's over. He did not help coach his team to a win tonight.

 

He needs to stop subbing in his entire JV team during the game, because honestly, they need more time at the JV level yet.

 

Vs Ryle Listerman used his best 8 players and it was a good game, they hung in it and it worked. Why revert back to subbing in to your last man? It just didn't make much sense.

 

BTW, I don't understand why, with CCH down only 6, Listerman puts practically the jv squad in with Isler? Highlands never looked back from this point and blew it open.

This would have had to have been early in the 3rd qtr since they were down 3 at half and then didn't score much in the third. I must admit that the only time I remember the floor filled with JV was with about 2 minutes left in the game.

No it was at some point when they were only down about 5 or 6, Isler, Maschinot, Heimbrock, Wilson, and one other JV player were in and it just blew the game wide open. It was possibly the worst lineup I'd seen Listerman put in this season, and I think his starting lineup stinks. So..I don't know. There are just a lot of kinks to work out this season.

 

BTW to whoever said that it is possible Mitch might be back by Friday, that would be great and I had heard the same thing, but at the same time anyone who has seen him knows he still looks weak so for his health and for the safety of him I hope he makes sure he is REALLY ready.

Was it early in the 3rd? It didn't take long in the 3rd qtr before they were down by more than 6. I guess I was yapping with someone because I don't remember it.

No I think it was later in the third. There was about 2:24 left in the quarter. I remember looking at the clock, like "omg Coach what are you doing!"..

 

 

Another thing I'd like to add.

Jake Thelen will be a good threat inside in the next two years for CCH, IF he hits the weight room, NOW. He is WAY TOO SOFT. Anytime he touched the ball all Highlands had to do was body him up or even touch the ball and it was gone. Don't waste that height and frame and talent God gave ya!

I must have drifted off at that point. All I can really remember from this game is layups by HHS.

haha so true. It was ugly.

I remember it. #40 wasn't even in the game program...

I think HHS not having to hit any outside shots tonight, or attempt any for that matter should be attributed to their ability to be patient on offense and work the ball around to find a CCH defender out of position.

 

I can't stress enough how good HHS was in transition tonight.

I remember it. #40 wasn't even in the game program...

 

lol and I don't even know who number 40 is. Eek.

There are just a whole lot of ?'s with CCH right now.

But that was by far the worst lineup call by L this season so far lol. We were still in it.

#40 is Maschinot. He's #4 in JV.

Player of the game was obviously Ben Watson, he was a monster on the boards and offensively was a force. Birds missed a lot of shots early and lacked intensity but it seemed to pick up late in the 1st period. I thought the Birds 1-8 are solid. Their only weakness is the lack of a dead eye shooter. If they had that I think you would have to put them number 2 behind Holmes.

 

Stephen K had a rough night but several other Birds picked up the slack. Nice victory for the Birds.

 

What happened to the CovCath Crazies in the 2nd half. It looked like a smattering at best. I heard one cheer from them at the beginning of the game and that was all.

 

Cov Cath is abysmal, Im sorry but this might be the worst CovCath team I have seen in many many years. They turn it over too much and lack any offensive threats. Maile is good offensively because he has hops and gets up high enough to find his smooth release. He hustles and plays hard also. Wellbrock is put together and I dont know why they didnt try to pound it down low to him and Isler. Guard play was not good at all and they do miss Shover but I gotta say even if they had him tonight it would have been a 10 pt HHS victory.

#40 is Maschinot. He's #4 in JV.

 

Ah yes. While he is playing well at the JV level, he isn't ready for varsity yet. Same can be said for Heimbrock, [i'd say even Wilson even though he isn't playing JV], and the other JV kids who came in with him. Bad decision by L to bring them in when we're only down by 5 to 6. It was like he threw in the towel.

At some point you have to start looking to next season and Mike Listerman is a good judge of when to do that. I am sure lack of getting back on defense had a lot to do with player personell changes also.

I watched them plan to spread out across the bleachers thinking they had something funny in mind. Nothing happened, they stayed spread out and they were done for the night...
