Final.

 

Birds jumped out ahead 22-5 at one point and subbed freely. What looked like was going to be a nice matchup of big men with 6'4 8th grader Nick True of Highlands and 6'4 9th grader Mitch McKenzie of Beechwood didnt amount to much. Nick True scored 10 first half points clearly outplaying the Tiger big man. McKenzie has some nice feet and a nice shot but needs to play more aggressive IMO.

That is true and this same group of Highlands boys beat the Tigers last year with those 2 and the Smith twins who transferred back to Lloyd.

 

I also could have said the margin of victory in this game could have been 20+ very easily if the Birds starters played more than the 15 min they all played but I didn't.

 

For a small school the Tigers have a nice group of freshman with Nussbaum,Maus,Erdman and Mckenzie. They also had a couple 8th grade guards playing in White and Way who showed a lot of potential. They just lack the depth like most Class A schools who play the bigger schools. With that said they still should be very good over the next few years in their class.
