Final

About what I expected, the Wildcats are going to make a run in the tourney, believe that.

I agree...Newport is a very good team.

Cats keep on rolling. Nice.

I agree they could make a run,but they have to develop a bench only played six kids last night and the Jones kid only played about four minutes. The sixth man was not there last night Tucker (sick) and you could really tell a couple of players got tired.When they are up sixteen or so should steal minutes for some of the starters, they have a few kids that will not kill them,for a couple of minutes here and there.

Newport 59, Conner 49

 

Conner (6-6) -Lang 3 0 6, Stephens 1 0 3, Flesch 7 0 15, Robinson 8 2 18, Hodges 2 0 5, Ernstes 1 0 2. Totals 22 2 49.

 

Newport (11-2) -Sizemore 5 0 14, Luther 2 2 7, McDaniel 9 2 20, Foster 4 2 10, Collin 4 0 8. Totals 24 6 59.

 

 

Conner 16 13 5 15 -49

Newport 21 12 15 11 -59

With the exception of the 3rd. quarter, this was a really close game. Conner has got to become more consistent. 9 points combined from their two starting seniors is not going to work against most teams. Sizemore for Newport came up huge in this game. He had some nice open looks at the three early on and he nailed them. If not for his shooting, this game may have favored Conner going into half time. Newport had a huge rally late in the third to put them up big. Conner battled back and had cut it to 6 points in the fourth, but a couple mistakes allowed Newport the opportunity to walk away. Newport continues to be tough and I think Conner is growing from their losses. Flesch and Robinson had nice games for Conner and will be tough coming down the stretch.

The Sizemore kid can shoot it he just chooses not to at time's, that kid play's really hard.

Flesch, Robinson and Hodges all have had nice seasons. Since they are all juniors, Conner should be tough next year.
