Brittany Fryer just gets better and better every game she does so much for this team and probably does not get the credit she deserves.

Absolutely agree.

If you cannot beat the elite teams in the region then how are you successful. The goal every year should be to win the region and not say every year that we were competitive against all of the non-elite teams in the region. What can or should Jaime do to get balance in all of the classes? She will have one senior that saw extensive game action, no juniors and a host of sophomores some of which saw limited minutes of varsity action. I do not know about the success of the JV and/or Frosh teams but the cupboard does appear to be a little bare especially considering the level of talent that has graduated from the program over the last 5 or so years.

I was wondering when some one was going to recognize the "White Elephant" in the room. Four years ago people were talking about multiple region and state championships from this group and the players that preceded them. If I'm not mistaken they didn't even play in a region final. I am not close to the program at all, so I couldn't speculate on what happened. They always seemed to play well during the reular season but just collapsed in the post-season. Could it be that all the hype and expectations placed on them was more than they could deal with? I would think you have to look at the coaching also. I have always been a bit baffeled by the substitution pattern they used in big games, but again I only saw maybe 3/4 times a year.

Maybe someone closer to the situation has more insight.

This group reminds a lot of the Holy Cross group of Bass, Noll, Lantry, etc. that basically did the same think a few years ago by playing well during the season but all but disappearing in the post season.

Maybe without all the expectations next year will be diferent, but I didn't see a ton of talent coming off the bench. Sometimes things just don't come together, and maybe that is what happened here.

Absolutely agree.

 

Brit is awsome. Has as much talent as anyone on the team. Truely a great competetor .

 

Somehow got left off of the ali 9th region team, but again probably some rule stating they can't get all 5 of them on the team. Not sure how they decided who to leave off. I would not want to make that call.

I believe Highlands' point guard is only a Junior. This should help offset the loss of the 3 seniors. They will be losing a lot of points, but at least they will have someone who can handle the ball and who knows the system. Good luck to Towles, Cutter and Allen! They have had great high school careers.
