Ockerman swept Camp Ernst on the boys side with both the 6th and 8th grade games going to the wire, 7th won pretty handily.

Heard Walton beat Conner in a nail biter! 8th

 

McNeil gets a steal with 7 seconds left and drives for a layup.

Walton's 8th grade remains perfect. 19-0.

Did I hear correctly that Conner had a 17 point lead at one point?

 

Did I also hear right that there was at least one nose-to-nose parent confrontation in the stands and maybe in the parking lot?

 

Did I hear correctly that the Conner fans thought the got zero calls?

Lead was 15 at the half and stretched to 19 early in the 3rd.

 

Two parents did have words. More to come.

 

Same ole same ole out of Conner. Like school on Saturday, no class! They complained last year that they were robbed on their own court with their own officials. Total fouls were in their favor again for this game. Conner had a few questionable violation calls but Walton had a few no calls that could have easily been called. Bottom line is this, you have a 19 point lead and don't get the job done shame on you. Don't blame the officials. And the guy that was whining about being homered should be ashamed. Again, no class!

 

The big kid for Walton (#50?) was unstoppable in the first half. McNeil did not play well. I know he is coming off an ankle injury and still looks rusty. You get him back on track and that Walton team cruises in this one.

 

As for Conner, they really need a pair of guards out front. Walton turned them over at will the second half. First half Conner sliced Walton's 2-2-1 but the second half Walton went run and jump and things got ugly quickly after that. Conner's front line competed well with Walton's bigs but the difference was out front.

HMS 8th won 41 - 37

In the 7th grade game, the Birds lost by 9 at the end, but the game was within 5 points until the very end. Holmes just had a little too much size for the Birds, but they battled to the very end.

 

Thanks for the summary. does anyone have a report (or at least result) on the Highlands-Holmes 8th grade game?
