Of course you would. lol a Highlands graduate and a Holmes fanatic. OBVIOUSLY they are 1 and 2. lol.

 

 

Holmes is CLEARLY without a doubt, the number 1. No one argues that.

 

Highlands? Na. They could get beat on any night by any team [as theyve shown], or they can win very well on any night. That is true for just about every team out there right now. There isn't a clear #2 because all of the teams can really actually beat each other at this point. I mean I don't see it happening, but Beechwood could very well beat Highlands Friday night. The same beechwood who only beat CovCath by 5, and lost to Campbell Co. and really hasn't played anyone outside of that. I think we have to wait and see before we go stating Highlands is the clear #2.

 

Just because I say Highlands is the clearcut #2 team doesn't mean I don't think they can't be beat. AT THIS POINT they have EARNED the #2 ranking, so yea they are the "clearcut" #2 until someone else beats them, outside of Holmes. Boone was in the same boat until their loss to Highlands.

 

I agree that any team after Holmes could beat one another on any given night, but who else would you rank at #2 if not Highlands? I'm going to assume the answer is nobody which further proves my point.

Well gosh I guess that solves it! You're right, I am wrong along with everyone else who thinks Highlands isn't the clear number 2.

 

You know the saying about those who assume right .

By the way 8 does sound about right.

I never said any of you were wrong. Everyone has their own opinion and you should know personally that I respect your opinion and think very highly of your basketball knowledge. :thumb:

 

I was just wondering who you'd put at #2, if not Highlands, who has proven that AT THIS POINT, they are the second best team in nky.

Welcome to the real world of big time high school basketball defense, Beechwood Tigers.

 

Could be a very frustrating night for the Red and White Tigers.

 

Good luck, but I don't think so.

 

I really find this post out of character for you Mustang.

 

Remember we are talking about HS kids!

 

Now tell me how to this point in the season, Brossarts schedule has been more challenging than Beechwoods?

IMO, Beechwood could beat Brossart any day.

I think you are reading into his post a little too much. I think he was just trying to emphasize that the Tigers havent seen defense like they are going to see on Fri night. He is allowed to choose a winner isnt he?

 

Mustang is always respectful of teams.

I believe Beechwood is in the best district in the 9th region and they know defense.

Knowing it and facing it are two different things. Ask Boone Co how physical it will get on Friday night. They pushed 6'6 Andy Earls and 6'5 McFarland all over the place. Grote and Kowolonek were step n step with the lightning quick guards also. For 32 minutes the Beechies are going to see it.

That is why I said it is out of character for him. He is allowed to pick a winner and maybe you are reading to much into my post. By the way I know Mustang, nice man and I respect him. I doubt he has seen Beechwood play and I was comparing BHS schedule to BBHS and at this point do not see much difference.

How wouldn't they face it? Are you saying this Highlands team plays better defense than Holmes last year?

Have you seen Beechwood play?

That is a fair assessment.

Have you seen Beechwood play?

 

I have not seen them play but I feel confident enough to post based on speaking to some folks like Eta Roh who have seen them play. He had great things to say about them and how they competed against Holmes. Earlier I mentioned that this will be a very good game and if the Birds dont bring their A game could get a loss dropped on them.

 

Hey, I love the style of play Beechwood is instituting and hope they bring home the All A state Championship. I think they can do it.

 

My big take is that they will see a much more physical defense then they have seen so far this season. Do I think Highlands plays better defense then Holmes? Yes. As an overall team I think they do. JMO
