Here are some numbers to support my position that Holmes style of play takes teams out of their style.

 

Bryan Station season avg. 70.14ppg. vs. Holmes 86(worst game of season for Dawgs) & 56 in rematch.

 

Scott Co. season avg. 80.78 vs. Holmes - 65

 

Ballard season avg. 72.81 vs. Holmes - 42

 

Henderson Co. season avg. 63.03 vs. Holmes - 42

 

Frankiln Co. season avg. 62.11 vs. Holmes - 48

 

Boone Co. season avg. 62.16 vs. Holmes - 45(loss for Holmes) & 29 in rematch

 

Hazard - 61.14 season avg. vs. Holmes - 40

 

OBTW Christian Co. gave up I think 82 to Henderson Co. in regional finals when Henderson Co. has only averaged 63.03. Almost 20 points more than their season avg.

 

That also shows that Holmes is not the run and gun team that several have claimed. There are quicker teams they will face.:popcorn:

So my question is this " Whose team or teams are more affected if Holmes gets their type of game which seems to be a grind it out lower scoring or up tempo style say like Elliott Co. which like to run and score alot. How will the officiating affect types of games in Sweet Sixteen, called closely or let them play ruff an tumble defense which tends to favor lower scoring games?"

I'd say it's hard pressed to find a team quicker than Ballard which Holmes has faced and defeated. Not saying there not out there but of all the teams I've seen Holmes play Ballard was the over all quickest. I know Elliott defeated Ballard @ Elliott on a Saturday after they (Ballard) had played on Friday night and to travel all of the way down to Elliott next day and played into Elliott's game of run and gun and it did not work for them.

 

Which teams at Sweet 16 can slow it down and grind out W's when forced? to.
