If Romes didn't get hurt, Beechwood would have won IMO. However, he did get hurt, which is a risk you take when you play. Unfortunately, Beechwood's bench was not deep enough to make up for it. We had a small group of talented players who played with great heart and tried their best. Thats all you can ask for.

 

Congrats to Boone Co. Good luck as you move on.

 

A special congrats to our senior team. You have brought life back into the basketball program and given us all a great season. This year will be the yardstick for future Beechwood teams. Thanks!

I totally agree with that entire post. It was a memorable season for the Beechwood Tigers this season and this season will definatly be a yard stick for future Tiger teams. This years seniors should be proud of all the goals they accomplished and should not be ashamed for losing to a great Boone County team. It will be tough though to see such a talented group of seniors leave that program.

Officiating wasn't horrendous. I love the Romes kid as well as Buettel, know both of them but Romes wasn't getting "hammered" . The first foul of the game called against Boone, Buettel looked at me and gave me a "wow" they called that look.

Oh really, how did he get hurt then?

How is Boone winning this game the 'right one'? I would love to see Boone's best player sit out 3/4 of the game like Romes did.

Is Beuttel playing anywhere in college?

Highlands-53

Boone-49

Boone did a lot of pushing under the basket to get hard rebounds though and during their press they forearmed every time to keep their man in fornt of them.

How much did Romes being hurt and sitting a lot affect the outcome, if any?

How could a senior captain not affect the outcome of the game? Romes it a key defender for the Tigers and is one of the main keys to their offense with his penetration. If he didn't get hurt the Tigers would be playing in the semis.

The officiating was outrageous. And if Romes would have played the whole game the Tigers would have won.

Elliot County...

Boone vs Beechwood should be a good game.

Wow congrats to the Breds big time on the win!

Sounds like a close one.

I think Beechwood might struggle in the region because they aren't very deep. They only play six guys. On a college court, they might struggle, especially if someone presses the entire game.

A college court will help Beechwood because they like to run so they can spread teams out and attack.

Not saying Beechwood is bad, but their schedule was not really difficult. Yes, they had some good wins, but in the Region Tourney they aren't going to be playing teams like Dayton, Bellevue, Villa, and those small schools. I realize they needed to play the DIII teams, but most of their wins have come against teams they should have beaten.

I was waiting for someone to point that out but they have to play 14 conference games. So, 8 of their wins have come from Bigger schools like highlands, Conner, and the teams that played down in the Ashland tournament.

I think Beechwood showed last night that they are a very strong DIII school but are not yet in the upper echelon of talent. Beechwood is very good but not yet in the same class as Holmes. But there aren't too many teams in the state that are. I just think the Tigers looked very vulnerable last night.

So they are 22-5 as of last night with second best record in NKY and they aren't talented? Just wait till region when Beechwood will once AGAIN prove everybody wrong.

I agree 100%. Any team that looks past B-wood will be going home. They have already showed they can beat Highlands. The 35th owns the 9th and I don't see it changing. Last night B-wood ran into a buzz-saw, Holmes defense was everywhere. I think B-wood will respond and start the 9th off with a bang.

Overall Holmes was just too big for BW which caused many rebounding problems for BW. I remember at the game JJ missed 3 or 4 layups in one possession and got all of his rebounds and put it back in on about the 4th or 5th try. But, Beechwood had a poor shooting night, and I hope they got this game out of their system so they will play well in region. Congrats to Holmes on the win.

I am sure that everyone will want to draw Beechwood, they are by far the smallest school in the tournament, should be a easy W for whoever draws them.

Are you serious? So basically just because they are a small school they are going to lose? Beechwood has beaten a handful of DI schools this season and will be a threat to anybody in the region.

While I agree you never know, if Beechwood wins it will be a stroke of pure luck. They will have to play a fantastic game, and Holmes will have to play way below their ability [which has happened]. Beechwood got beat by what, 18 or something the first time around? I see it being similiar. Beechwood won't hang around too long.

Beechwood has improved by leaps and bounds since the first game. From what I have seen and heard, Holmes has been playing under their potential lately and an upset could be possible but as you look at my post earlier I still have Holmes winning by 5.

I just dont see how a team that wins by an average of 22 ppg, goes 28-0 in their conference and not get any awards?

It is just what I heard at the the game so calm down.

You never know. Beechwood has been turning a lot of heads this season and it wouldn't surprise me if Beechwood wins.

?????? Incorrect. :eyeonyou:

Explain what it means then if I am wrong.
