Final...

Holmes jumped out quickly to a 14-2 lead early and then just took a nose dive.

 

They really need to pick it up...

Survive and advance is what its about. Nice gutsy effort by the Raida'z... Dogs better get it together for Sunday because NCC will be a major battle.

Most probably predicted Holmes to win but not by a margin that small

Ryle could have won this game. Aside from looking terrified the entire game. They turn it over far too much.

 

Holmes looked like they didn't want to be there.

Not going to win many scoring 34...

Seems to be a theme, I hope for their sake they don't let a prime opportunity slip through their hands.

I agree, this team may have exceptional talent but they are not playing up to their potential.

That's where the terrified comes in.

 

Not gonna score many scoring 41 either.

Come again???

Yeah, 41 will not get it done vs. Boone, Scott Co., Clark Co., definitely not Elliott Co and against anyone who comes out of the 6th or 7th region.

Giving 98 a hard time is just what I do... :lol:

Meant win many sorry

I have been suggesting all season that last year's Holmes team was better than this year's model. Holmes greatly misses Arrez Henderson's clutch play and leadership. The 9th Region Final 4 should be great. No team appears likely to run away with their next two games. No team appears likely to get blown out. Ryle puts up 34 points and remains in the game. Go figure.

The Holmes School of Defense - chapter 3. Holy Cross scores 24; Beechwood scores 43 (their lowest total of the year) and Ryle gets 34. Keep playing defense like that and there will be enough offense to win. Don't everyone start thinking there are issues because Holmes is not fulfilling everyone's perception of them as some run and gun high powered offense. Defense wins championships.
