Hatton 14

Pike 15

 

Pike seals it at line

Great game. Thought Trammel's D was the difference. He shut down Downs then they put him on Stanley and he shut him down also. Can't wait to see him guard Hightchew. Good luck to both teams tomorrow.

Dixie had this game in hand by about 7-8 most of the game. They let BC back in it by missing too many free throws inn the last minute thirty. Pike did make one of 2 with 8 seconds to go. BC had the ball down 3 with 22 seconds to go. Downs took a three, but was guarded really well and missed. Good ball game to watch, although I had no vested interest. BC was very physical. Brown is a beast down low and on the boards. Dixie finally put three around him and BC wasn't as hot as Thursday and didn't make them pay.

Great game. Stansberry was key down low coming up with many big rebounds. As was Pike down the stretch at the charity stripe. Hatton looked a bit off offensively but played aggressive defense. And while on the subject of aggressive defense, like RomanEmpire said, Trammel was very huge. Great job on his part.

 

Should be a great game tomorrow again between two very good teams.

 

Hopefully the officiating is better because it was god awful tonight. I don't know how Stansberry gets punched/elbowed in the face and there is no call. I think the blood running down his face should have triggered something in the ref's mind.

He collided forehead to forehead with a Boone player after the whistle had blown for the foul with 8 seconds left. No elbow or punch involved.

Trammel plays outstanding defense.

 

Still trying to figure out how the foul on Trammel late in the game wasn't intentional. He got closelinedcand grabbed around the neck by the Boone defender

I felt the difference was Pike's defense down low on Brown and Stansberry defense on McQueary. Both made it tough for the Boone big men and Stansberry had several blocks on Crabtree.

 

Speaking of blocks... Pike was way up there on the block on Crabtree in the first quarter. Pike played the best I've seen him play in the past three years.

 

Hatton was clutch tonight when Boone made any type of run. Defensively he was bullying Mcqueary.

 

Better team won tonight.

I'm with you there Walter....I saw Dixie's season flash before my eyes when I saw him land on his back.

Pike's defensive effort was great tonight. He beat Brown to the spot almost every time. Very rarely was he able to get position on the box. It got him frustrated late as he threw an elbow towards Pike's groin that wasn't seen by the refs, and then on the next possession, he clotheslined Trammel. I was very surprised an intentional foul was not called. It happened so fast, it was hard to tell if he even made an attempt at the ball. As for the officials, they let the kids play, which I personally like.

The Boone player's head was about a foot above Stansberry's as Parker was leaning down to grab the ball. It was not forehead to forehead.

I was on the other end of the floor and it looked very intentional from there. Was very worried for Trammel when I saw how hard he went down. Glad to see he got up and was able to keep going.

If you are speaking of the block he had when he swatted the ball off the backboard then yes that was a tremendous block. He elevated nicely and timed it perfect.

I thought Dixie's defense was the key in this one.

 

Stansberry and Pike shut down the paint all night. Boone couldn't get anything going down low.

 

Really nice night by Stansberry on the boards and came up with some nice blocks as well.

 

Pike really turned things up tonight against Brown....that's the key to beating Boone imo.

I thought Dixie did a great job defending the paint. Boone's guards scored 17 above their average while their post players were way under their average for the season. I have a question about Dixie, how often do they leave the lane unoccupied when they are shooting free throws? They did that more than a few times tonight and I'm puzzled as to why?

Not very often....probably didn't want any silly fouls.
