Final

Newport continues to impress. Did the new transfer play?

Boone definitlely missed Earls in this one.

Naz did play. I didn't see the entire game but he came in and hit a 3 in the first half. Looks to be about 6'4 and skinny and long.

Wow, this doesnt bode well for the Bluebirds or Breds when District comes around.

 

Congrats to the Wildcats on the big win. Where was this game played?

Lay also did not play for Boone. (Missing two bigs.) Good win for Newport on their home floor. Newport, Highlands, and NCC will be a tough district. Too bad one of them won't make it to the region.

Who was in Boone's starting lineup tonight?

With or without Earls, this is still an impressive win for Newport.

 

They are solidifying themselves as a top 2 or 3 team in the region.

Naz is 6'6" and long should really help.

Brown was about the only one from Boone that did a lot. He had 20+. Boone sat in a zone, and Newport exploited hit by hitting about 9 or 10 threes. They shot well, and Boone didn't. I think another game between the two could go either way on a neutral court, and I would give the nod to Boone on their home court. The new transfer definitely helped Newport. I think he hit at least one three also.

Any box scores or stats? I didn't see anything in the paper about the game.

 

Thanks Einstein for the quarter updates on the previous thread. Looks like Newport exploded in the 2nd quarter.

 

Boone stayed in a zone defense after Newport kept hitting 3's (9 or 10 of them)? That's a lot, how many did they shoot? Why didn't Boone play man defense? Was it because no Lay and no Earls?

Maybe two of them.

Where is the Tucker kid been? Didn't see his name in the box score.

Nine threes will win a lot of games for you. Did Boone not even extend the zone a little when the 3's started flowing for Newport? Or was this a case of Newport just getting hot and hitting contested 3's or hitting them from well behind the arc?
