  1. Absolutely entertaining game from Brossart's perspective. One of the most complete team efforts you can put together. The "condensation" issue was overblown. I understand the concern for player safety and the pause for discussion on the issue was ok. Earlier in the game, there was some water spilled by Beechwood's water jug and players had been walking through it which resulted in a few slips. Secondly, several players, including some that sweat way more than others had fallen to the ground and I do not think it was wiped up well enough by the referees. They paused the game and had a discussion. They made the right decision to play on. The Freshman boys team from Brossart stood on both ends of the floor being sure to wipe up anything they saw. We played the entire 4th quarter with no slips or issues.

     

    Hope Brossart can carry this momentum as they play Holy Cross, Ludlow, and Paris this week looking to get that winning % above .500

  2. As a former player, I never seemed to shoot well in Newport's gym. Not sure why, just happened. Brossart seemed to struggle shooting. That won't be the case all year. Certainly not taking away anything from Newport. Give credit to their defense for contesting most of Brossart's looks and winning on the boards. Coach Code's teams always improve throughout the year. I would expect nothing different this year.

     

    It is always nice to have a chance within 24 hours to improve. They will get their chance tonight against Harrison, albeit on the road yet again.

  3. That's 2 teams that straight up don't like each other and aren't afraid to hide their feelings. Kids won't even play on AAU or select baseball together.

     

    They may dislike each other on the court/field/etc. but away from that the families and kids get along. I am speaking from experience! I have been a part of this rivalry my whole life. In fact, I married someone who graduated from the opposite school!

     

    Yes, there is tension at times between the schools when it comes to sports but that is why it is called a rivalry! I still say for the most part the two sides get along very well.

  4. Any thoughts on this one? I'm going to assume that neither team will show much since there is a decent chance these two teams will meet up again in a couple of weeks at Nicholas Co.

     

    Possibly. But i think this is a bigger game for Brossart. It will really help them gauge where they stand in the region. Kind of a bad time to be playing each other though. This could be a game where you learn where you need to improve. After this game, there won't be much time left to figure everything out. I know most coaches understand their teams by now. but playing top opponents really shows your weaknesses.

     

    All of that being said. My hope is that Brossart plays a little better than they have lately so they can see if they really can compete for a regional championship.

  5. I know it has been said already, but you know there are some issues out there when players are asking coaches, athletic directors, and fans to ask their parent to "shut up and sit down". It is embarrassing to have a parent act that way. Even if there was a bad call, verbally abusing an official accomplishes what? Nothing. I understand parents are looking out for their kids and I get the energy surrounding basketball can excite people but there has to be some self-control, right?

  6. Gonna be interesting...If they can get to 8 conference wins, they probably get in.

     

    Home games against Purdue, Penn State, and Nebraska should be wins. Gotta get a couple of their road games against Minnesota, Northwestern, Iowa, Michigan, and Ohio State though.

     

    Was watching bracketology on ESPN and they were saying the committee does not look at conference records. They look at opponents but not conference records? Tell me how that makes sense? If you are looking at opponents, the ones you play more than once have to mean a lot right? Someone help me out here?
