Hoptown wasn't tested very well in the first round, no way should they be 2 imo...They looked sloppy...Also JH is to high... 1. Montgomery 2. Ballard 3. Holmes 4. Madison 5. Htown 6. KCC 7. JH 8. Graves

I just watched it an hour or so ago and I agree

Bosleys shot didn't impress me yesterday but that was my first time seeing Madison...he seems like more of a blow by threat than a shooting threat...actually outside of Hawkins Madison seemed to lack outside shooting

Holmes runs three seniors out there, they will be just fine...you don't go all season losing only 2 games and being within a couple shots of an undefeated season without being a well oiled team that meshes and knows how to play together...

.my personal opinion is that Madison has better guard play than prp but prp has much more size and killer athleticism...IMO the Madison game should be an easier game if their is such a game for Holmes...Madison has one really athletic big guy but they don't feed the post so Chames and engelmon should be able to escape foul trouble and I could see Madison's big guy getting in foul trouble trying to rebound over Chames and engelmon...engelmon gets up higher than anyone I have ever seen for his size...Madison also seemed to lack depth...

Boldens points aren't a telling statistic of how he played today...I have been to a dozen Holmes games this year and he's a stud...they through double and triple teams at him all day and he did a great job of holding onto the ball and slicing through the pressure...his handles are unreal and he was getting hacked quite abit today as well, but I thought the officials were consistent in letting them played and I didn't have a problem...was hoping cal would stick around for the Holmes game but hopefully he'll be there to watch Hawkins again on Friday...my personal opinion is that Madison has better guard play than prp but prp has much more size and killer athleticism...IMO the Madison game should be an easier game if their is such a game for Holmes...Madison has one really athletic big guy but they don't feed the post so Chames and engelmon should be able to escape foul trouble and I could see Madison's big guy getting in foul trouble trying to rebound over Chames and engelmon...engelmon gets up higher than anyone I have ever seen for his size...

Just in case anyone has missed it...New Rochelle was just involved in one of the best finishes to a basketball game at any level ever...New Rochelle beast national powerhouse Mt.Vernon in the NY State Championship on a crazy half court shot as time expired...Mt.Vernon was the #1 team in the state of NY and a top 75 team in the nation...Looks like New Rochelle was better than people gave them credit for and a good win for Holmes as well as Scott Co., KCC and any other KY team that was able to defeat them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=lIMFvCYBXCM

My point was not to take away from NCC but to let it be known to the people that haven't seen Holmes that they aren't just the James bolden show...I heard a lot of chatter from uninformed fans around me that James was all Holmes has and that's far from true...you don't run the table longer than anyone in the state relying on the scoring of just one player

They are, you are right...But Holmes also didnt seem to play at their accustomed pace and style offensively and defensively until the last five minutes of the game

NCC is a great team but for the people that witnessed Holmes for the first time in this game they are usually far from a one man show...usually on any given night they will have about ten guys in the scoring column and many times a different player leads them in scoring... Tonight they seemed a little out of character and relied on a superstar type scoring effort by bolden to stay in the game, thankfully he came through...Holmes is typically one of the more balanced teams and by far the deepest team in the region

Best game I've ever attended...the Holmes team didn't seem to show up but bolden did...he's worth admission...Holmes did a lot of standing around tonight and forced their pg to carry them and that's what he did...the intentional foul was big, I could t see anything from my viewpoint...lots of loose balls going new caths way, rebounding and a couple very bad calls that went against Holmes did them in

I was at the game but wouldn't mind watching it again...did anybody catch where or how to do that?

That's a shame...Very good food and a really nice owner

The one inside the old frischs?

That's good so is camino real across from rally's in Florence, el rio bravo next to wal Mart in Alexandria and Anita's in the old fort Thomas frischs...all good and nothing beats a good Mexican restaurant for me

Don't jinx them now...I hope you are right

I'm watching the G-Tech vs Duke game right now and the Yellow Jackets have a guard named Chris Bolden...Anyone know if he's related to James...Here's a pic of him, they look similar and Bolden is not a name I hear often

Is Ruthsatz any better than say a Todd Jacobs or maybe even a Mike Hester? Those in my opinion were some of the better NKY PGs in recent memory but I don't think either went D1...

Scary to think how good he will be by the time he is a senior...His ball handling and ability to run a team is exceptional for his age and he is also a very good athlete...I've not seen anybody that can stay in front of him and guard him one on one...I'd love to see him against better competition, has he faced any elite competition in aau ball and if so how has he faired?

Bolden is a stud...Holmes is for real...Coston seems to really be finding his stroke which is not good for the opposition...Bolden, Coston, Englemon, Palmer and sometimes even Glover can lead the bulldogs in scoring on any given night...

Herndon and Glover

They actually help with shin splints, I'm not saying everyone is using them for that but shin splints are nothing to mess with

Pouncy played in place of Coston and Herndon in that game...The other player that was out was Housley in the first meeting...I pretty much agree with what you said though...Costons experience and improved shooting lately along with Glovers increased bench scoring role and Herndons defense along with being able to score off the bench will make a big difference as far as their press and depth goes...I don't see this game being as close as the first meeting

What happened to the game vs new Rochelle ny tonight? I was planning to go see that one tonight

Thanks :thumb:
