I enjoyed watching the game.

This is a rather weird mid season game isn't it? Was this in a tournament? If not, what's the connection between the two schools?

If Largo would be a top 15 team in Kentucky, and they are not in the top 25 in Maryland, then Maryland basketball must be awesome?:idunno:

According to Maxpreps - Largo is the 80th ranked team in Maryland. I have no idea how Maryland HS basketball stacks up to KHSAA basketball.

I watched the game on the internet and I heard the announcer say that Largo lost 10 players from last year's team but is loaded with seniors again this year. Does that mean they have a lot of turnover? I can't imagine losing that many players and having that many juniors returning. Does anyone have any information on the type of school they are? ...more like a prep school??

 

I did a little research on the Largo team in MaxPreps. If you look at their roster for 2007-2008 they had 11 seniors and 6 juniors. For 2008-2009 they have 11 seniors and 2 juniors. 1 junior from last year is no longer on the team and they have have 6 seniors that were not on the roster last year as juniors. That tells me that this school had a lot of movement into it from last year. Do you think this is common for that school? What are your thoughts?

 

Largo is a program that is geared toward helping seniors succeed and get to the next level, hence them having so many on their team. I wouldn't say they're a prep school but the way their system is set up, it resembles one.

Largo would be a top 15 team in Kentucky. They are very similar to Ballard only with more size.

 

They also have 4 D1 prospects on their team.

 

Malik Thomas- Hampton, High Point, Navy

Aaron Martin- UMBC

Rashaurd Richardson- West Virginia Tech

Shane Smith- Navy

Largo is a very good team. They are quick and can rebound.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the Maxpreps rankings. They have Holmes #67 in the country but yet prepsnation, rivals, and USA Today all three have Holmes as #24 nationally.

I agree. I'm not sure they'd be top 10 in KY but would definetly be top 15, top 20 at worst. Their size, athleticism, and depth would give a lot of teams trouble.

What is the status of Maryland HS basketball?

[tezzyrice]

Good win for Holmes. Arnold gets better with each game. Rico was the difference in the game. He has great presence on the court.

I grew up there, but many years ago.

 

 

Great basketball around the DC area, some good ball also in Baltimore. Not much else as a rule.
