Can we get some positive output from members about the expectations of Boone for 2010/2011?

Regardless of what some people think, i'm sure this team will go out each night and fill a gym with some athletic high school basketball players and have a decent season. I look forward to seeing the new additions to the team, and how they mix in with the Greg's style of play. This is a complete team of players that have won the past freshman, and JV championshps. I know someone will say that doesn't mean anything, but it has to say something about the ability/chemistry of this years group.

Don't fall into the trap of LovetheGame. I don't play the "let's got he opposite way" thing.

 

Why is it difficult to comprehend that we simply apply the term differently? I have one definition and you have another. I don't think all professional athletes are "athletic." By your quoted definition they are. Cool. We disagree. No biggie. Won't be the last time someone disagrees with me but why get so upset about it?

 

Some of us use a definition of "quick/jumps well/fast" to define athletic. By that definition, Laimbeer is not athletic. It's as simple as literal definition vs accepted definition.

 

I agree with your definition but disagree with your assessment of Brown. He's not a plodder, has good feet and may not be a leaper but has a nose for the ball. ID say he has athletic qualities but maybe not all of the ones you think they shold have.

Not being familar with the Freshman and JV programs at Boone as I would like to be, do those teams run a different offense than the varsity team? I would think all three teams would run the same type of offense to ease the transition from one team to the next. Is this not the case?

Not totally sure, but I do believe they run the same system from freshman level up.

If they don't, they should. It would make logical sense to.

 

With all the success from the Freshman and JV teams and the success of the varsity team, it looks like Boone is in good shape for the next few years. Let's hope that with the 'new' guys they can get over the hump and win the region this year. Heck, I might be out on a limb, however, with Conner and Ryle seemingly headed towards successful seasons, getting out of the 33rd district may be more difficult than winning the region.....

 

Is Boone looking at having 4 new starters this year (with Brown being the 6th man last year)? It may take some time to gel early in the season. It looks like 2 of their first 4 games are against Ryle and Conner. It should be interesting to see how they fair early in the season with the big turnover in the starting line up.

The football team finishing early was a bonus for the basketball program because the football players are able to get an early start this year in getting their basketball legs. Boone has a scrimmage against an "athletic" Colerain team (I guess that description depends on who's looking at them), and that should be a good challenge for them to start with.

That's a very good point.

 

When is the scrimmage and where? I dont' see it listed on the website.

 

In your opinion, how many players do you think will see regular action for the Rebels (how deep will Coach go)?

Scrimmage starts at 5:30 at Boone. As for guessing how deep and who see's action, there's possibly Burgess, Fookes, Botang, the new kid, I'm not really sure who will productively hit the floor first.

Wow, I didn't know, please keep us posted on how things go....

 

Perhaps you and Clyde can sit together...... :lol::ohbrother:

 

Only kidding, all is good....

I think Boone is one of the top 3-4 teams in the 9th Region this year. Brown is just an absolute beast as a high school player and Crabtree was one of the most improved players that I saw over the summer. Montgomery and Brown are both top 10 players in the region. With that being said they are only going to go as far as their guard play will take them. The times that I saw Boone play over the summer their guards really struggled.

Is Botang the senior a transfer? What position does he play?

Any updates on the scrimmage last night?

 

Score? Hi-lights? Dunks? Athletic plays? Anyone one stand out for Boone?

Not able to attend, but I hear Boone looks good all around. Maybe someone that was there will chime in later, I don't want to give a biased opinion.

Where is Oppenheimer?? Was a pretty basketball player for Boone in the past, is he still banged up from football?

Boone has great players on this years team. Guard play and coaching will be the problem. The coach at Boone never seems to get the job done. I feel like Coach Fookes can make an average team with little talent into a regional championship team. Mcquery on the other hand is given some of the best players year in and year out and always manages to fall short of what they should be accomplishing. If Boone tries to run the coaches plays every possession instead of just playing the game they will be beat and beat often. If he lets the boys play to there ability they will win the regional championship. This team is good. This years group of seniors won the freshman title and the past two Jv titles.
