Final.

Rice had a big day for Holmes with Pittman in foul trouble in the 1st half.

 

I'm not sure how many rebounds he had but it seems like Jeremiah Johnsons name was being called nearly on every rebound.

 

Ricardo stepped up and took over the game late in the game hitting a big 3 here and there and hitting his Free Throws. He showed why he is the POY.

Final.

Congrats to Holmes on the win.

I like the way the Bulldogs played defense today except for not getting out on time on a couple of three's. Other than that a typical Bulldog win. :taz: :thumb:

When did Keyvon Arnold switch his last name to Rice?

When did Keyvon Arnold switch his last name to Rice?

 

Right before districts. His mother and father recently got married so they had Kevon and his younger brother's last name officially changed from Arnold to Rice.

As far as the game, I thought Holmes played pretty well defensively. NCC didn't get much, if anything around the rim and it was their 3 point shooting that kept them in the game. Conner, Pangallo, and even one of the Geisler's hit several big three's throughout the game. I know all three players had atleast 2 of them.

 

Difference in this game was Ricardo Johnson. He took over in the 4th quarter, scoring 7 of his 15 points after the two teams headed in to the 4th tied at 28.

 

NCC had a great game plan coming in to the game. They took their time offensively and worked for good shots to keep from giving Holmes a lot of offensive possessions. I honestly think "stalling" hurt them in the end though as on several possessions they ran off over a minute of clock only to miss a shot, turn it over, or have a shot blocked, which led to Holmes capitalizing at the other end.

 

I think the big rebound and two hand dunk by Pittman was the game changing moment in the 4th. NCC came down and hit a 3 but Rico responded with a personal 5-0 run to put the Dogs in control and seal the deal.

 

Only negative I saw with the Dogs today was them rushing shots and playing too much "one on one" ball at times. They have to continue to work the ball around, attack the rim, and find the open man rather than trying to get in a jump shooting contest with the opposing team.

 

Pittman and JJ both rebounded very well for Holmes.

 

On to the finals for revenge against the Rebels.
