Final.

When was this game played?

At 3:30 this afternoon.

Good effort by the Camels, without their leading scorer. Think it was a 3 point game at the half. Holmes played well in spurts, but overall a decent game. Holmes was up around 8-10 points the entire 4th quarter. The district tourneys are coming quick!

Went to the Xavier game with my team, great to see the Dawgs pull another win out. :dancingpa:

I guess the big men from CC didn't show up the second half, just like Hazard. :idunno:

Who for Campbell didn't play? Any stats?

Exactly. I had some people at the game and they didn't mention anything about Campbell missing a starter.

 

I would like to know who it is too.

Pat Nerl did not dress due to an ankle sprain. I do not know the specific stats but Albrecht and Jolly played well.

Rather uneventful game IMO. Pretty physical, the officials let them get after it. Rico was off tonight, he put up quite a few jumpshots this evening when he had clear paths to the rim, and the jumpshots were not falling. JJ shot well from the perimeter this afternoon and we got to see a little bit more of Pierre Mayfield tonight that in previous games. Holmes was a little better from the free throw line in this one than the last couple games I have been too, still have some work to do.

 

At different times of the game Henley pressed, at times it looked well, at times it was sloppy, they also got into some 2-3 zone which I have rarely seen, in there zone they looked vunerable, gave up alot of offensive rebounds out of it. I think they are just trying to figure out what is going to work in what situations defensively in the post season and attempting to iron some things out.

 

Eli didn't appear to be bothered by the wrist at all, however I noticed (for the first time, but it could be something he always does) that Rico had some tape on his right wrist and thumb, as I mentioned before his jumpshot was a little off this evening and I seen him appear to get frustrated with the tape at one point and try to rip it off.

For Holmes, Riley finished with 16. I believe he was the leading scorer.

Yea, JJ, Housely, and Riley both played well offensively, I figured one of the three would have been the leading point man. I dunno if Riley missed a shot all night, from anywhere. Housely had an impressive "and 1" dunk, and JJ hit back to back 3's that sparked Holmes pulling away.

Riley was perfect from the floor....4-4; 2-2 from behind the arc.

From nky.com:

 

For one half of Saturday's game, the Campbell County Camels stayed with one of the best teams in the state......

 

But the Bulldogs changed that by reviving their full-court pressure to begin the second half. Dormant since the first month of the season, Holmes' press flustered the Camels, who began turning over the basketball at a high rate.

 

........"When we tried pressing earlier in the year, it was a layup line at the other end," Holmes coach David Henley said. "We pressed Bryan Station in the second game and we allowed 86 points and lost. So we backed off it a bit and won 22 games in a row. But I feel we've become a little complacent lately, and I thought the press would give us a spark."
