Quite honestly I think Holmes needs to get better OFFENSIVELY.... Lack shot makers from what it looked like last night. Can be zoned into an offensive funk.

Could be an interesting one... Neither team has really played a close game yet. Bellevue with the two big wins over Heritage and Latin followed by big losses vs tougher competition. Dayton played a semi tight one with a 10 point game at Villa, but other than that seems to still be trying to get their feet on the ground. Bellevue probably will have the best returner from last season with Woodyard, but you know Brewer will make it awful physical inside. One thing is for sure though. There's a bit of a misconception that these Dayton/Bellevue games are bigger on the football field. But if you've been to one of these you know the hard court battles are just as important to these kids. Usually a great atmosphere for small school hoops!

In terms of experienced talent, Silver Grove had the most coming back this year in D3... Turcios, Miller, Kuntz, Politt, etc. And they've been playing together pretty much since they learned to dribble a ball.

As I recall... Few weeks back people were applauding the "tough competition" approach by Bellevue....

Because it's a totally different sport? :idunno:

Looks like they are playing for new Coach Brownstein... Would a result like this put the Grovers the the top of the early season DIII rankings?

Final per twitter

So did SG slow it down and hold it?

Estill have the size to match up with Sticklen?

Where at?

Anyone know anything about these teams?

Heard they only have 7 guys?

How is Carroll expected to be this year? I know last year they had one of their stronger teams in awhile while Lloyd was a bit down, so this surprises me a bit.

Your players have enough to worry about. Do you really want little Johnny out there thinking "man I really think we could use a 30 second to stop this run"

Honestly, to me, it's a stupid idea to not have this rule... It's part of coaching... It can save a possession. It's about the only part of the game that the coaches have a direct effect on. Why would you take that away?

Eminence beat Villa by about 8 or 10. Villa had about 5 varsity kids show up about halfway through the 1st quarter and game was pretty even from that point. Very physical for a scrimmage. Eminence really pushes the pace.

They should be an interesting team. Stout and physical up front with the qb and Woodyard. Guards will be small but tough. Poinsett was a big loss.

He definitely woulda been in the rotation at Holmes too... Heck, I know you're connected there. Ask some of those kids that played last year. I know he played pick up with them a few times and was notable. Its usually not player 1 and 2 that separate the big schools from the small. It's player 3 through 8. I'm not saying the top players are equal. I'm saying the top small school players could be players 3-8 on big school teams.

Cody and Howard were good players that warranted attention no matter who they were playing. I venture to say both could have played for anyone in the region. Howard started.

This makes my point. That statement "...until these teams start adding the big schools to their schedules, you will continue to see a lack of exposure" drives me nuts....

So they should add teams to their schedule that they can't compete with? If Bellevue plays Cov Cath this year and loses by 40 there will be plenty o folk asking 'why are they playing this game'?

No offense Walter, and this is a good list. But this list is the definition of a big school bias... Not a single DIII school mentioned.

No offense to Huff, but IMO he's not in the class of the other players you named.
