san diego conquistadors

Just drove past Newport Stadium and saw scoreboard. 27-0 Newport. No real updates since this is a drive by score.

Did he play his entire team or something?

:laugh:

Well..............I guess that .4 strength of schedule speaks volumes considering most think SK has a weak schedule and it is 19.2 Do you have a link as this is really neat to look at for all teams?

In their case I think that would be a death wish for the program. Kids would just go to Campbell and NCC to play football even if it means sitting on bench, being a special teams players, etc. Pendleton is not competing with other schools to get football players; just fighting the demons and stigma with their football program in-house to get kids to play.

Highlands and NCC will definitely turn around the fortunes of their district as over the past several years it has been seen as a very weak district. Bellevue while not at the level of the top 10 that is listed could surprise several people with some really solid young talent. From what I saw when our team played them a game in the fall league and faced two really solid pitchers, both the pitchers and the players in the field were very young but played very well and hit and exectuted some nice things.

Wow....................Did not realize that Beechwood had players that young that would start varsity and bat 3rd and 4th in the lineup. On players that have actually proven themselves at the varsity level, IF Dylan Huff can come back healthy this year for Bellevue he could really have a breakout year.

What is Walsh's first name? Grade?

Oh my I just choked on my lunch!!!!!!!! :lol:

What grade is Dylan Huff?

Not sure how "beatdowns" stop by voting for seeding....................... 1 seed vs winnder of 4vs5 That is a beatdown in this district 2vs3.......In this district on the girls side of it that is a beat down as well many years. Plus..............by having to play in the regular season the three (Newport, Dayton and Bellevue) all get to take "beatdowns" at the hands of NCC and Highlands. Strange argument you have there indeed................

Boy now that is not a good thing to have. At a district tournament you need the highest qualified folks in your "district" to do things, not just the home guy. Q one of my points was about the free throw shooting........what gives on that? Has it become a mental block for the team? Is it consistently that way or is it one game 80% one game 50%? Also, I will give you credit you answer all comers and seem to be put out on an island on BGP. If the same statements or comments were made in a football thread there would be 100 Bluebird faithful beating me over the head with answers...........and chastizing me non stop for questioning anything. Knowing many of the younger players in the Highlands system I hope they will create an atmosphere that can put basketball back on top. And I do not know who you are but sometimes I say things just to ellicit a response from you............

Does anybody know for sure who should have received possession?

I do not say "what is wrong with Highlands basketball." I can say this team that I have seen play cannot handle pressure very well, seems to be looking over their shoulder at times when they play and pass up good shots, inconsistent not only from game to game but quarter to quarter; seem to have big runs and give up big runs. Need more floor leadership and in the games I have seen shoot free throws poorly. I have read about the substitution patterns etc but do not address those things because I do not know over the course of thrity games what that has been.

I have been to several games and speak the truth as I see it. Am I not allowed to have a Highlands opinion or is that reserved only for those that live in Ft. Thomas? I stand by what I say about the basketbnall program and team in general.

Hate to say this but maybe Highlands should stick to the "luck of the draw." They got the lucky draw staying away from Newport and NCC this year.

Well Highlands would have been a three seed at best (losing to Newport and NCC) and did not play Dayton this year. Based on last night's game they could have been a four seed if they would have lost to Dayton in the regular season. Best guess considering everyone did not play each other is the seeds: NCC Newport Highlands Dayton Bellevue

I expect no issues with Bellevue as quite frankly Bellevue is not near the team Dayton is in my opinion. Always a lot of reasons for Highlands not performing well be it the exhaustive poor officiating, not healthy (nobody is 100% healthy thsi time of year....always somebody banged up), bad subbing patterns, bad free throw shooting, etc. etc etc. Bottom line is they are not capable for some reason of performing well over four quarters. You say the margin of victory could have been more if.....if.......if....I guarantee you somebody from Dayton could provide three "if's" to show why Dayton was the better team last night and should have defeated the Bluebirds............Just curious.......If the Highlands football team had a first round playoff game against Dayton and only won by one touchdown what would the outcry be? One thing you mentioned I have noticed in the few Highlands games I have seen is a reluctance to shoot at times from the outside.......is that a product of fear? poor coaching? looking over your shoulder to see if you are going to get pulled?

This is a point that I think needs to be looked at across the board. Not that a person would call a good game or bad game but why open yourself up to this.

Ok I go back to my point in another forum Q that you ripped me for and that is Highlands is competitive at a small school class A level only this year in basketball. This is another point of proof that this team underachieves as much or more than any other team in this area.

I got to meet BigBack this weekend as he was refereeing my son's games in a tournament and he is a very genuine and sincere person. Kids liked him as an official as he would encourage them and give them some tips if warranted.

Wow.............then that total may very well be correct.....

Is this really true? The original post was that somebody heard they had 26 techinicals....................Not saying one way or the other but can this be confirmed?

Well........I am picking the Bluebirds especially off the huge win over Beechwood on Friday...................That being said I am hoping Dayton can get this into a uptempo situation with forcing Highlands guards to handle the ball agiainst pressure.

I understand sarcasm but as a team in the same district as they are I kind of see this as also a put down of their players who after all are kids...............
