  1. Birds will beat Dayton. I know NewCath is really good but I just have a feeling Highlands is going to play a great game. Upsets have happened many times, and I think Coach Listerman will have the guys playing at a fever pitch against the 'Breds. I could see a low scoring 45-43 game as the Birds control tempo!

     

    That would be the biggest upset since ...... Dr. James Naismith ......

  2. Is this a record for points scored against Cooper at Cooper? Defense is usually pretty stout.

     

    Game was at Campbell County. I didn't see anybody from either team taunting. Camels FINALLY decided to pound the ball inside to Wilson. Camels settled for the first open shot in the 1st quarter and they weren't falling. Down 21-8 after 1st. Went to Wilson the rest of the game which opened up the outside for Jackson.

  3. Congratulations to the Neers.... Turnovers and fouls killed the Camels. The Camels them self shot well from the charity stripe, 86.6% 13 for 15 I believe, but it seemed like Simon Kenton scored twice that amount. Before someone reads more into this that I mean. I'm not complaining about the fouls. The Camels put them on the foul line, and they put up a lot up points from the foul line. Anyone have that stat for the Neers.

     

    Campbell County 13-15 from the line. SK 19-27 from charity stripe.

    Camels shoot 46% overall while SK shoots 68% overall (there's all your lay ups off the press)

    I had both teams with 15 turnovers

    Even game throughout the first as Pioneers go up by as many as 7, but Camels cut deficit to 21-19 after one. Pioneers outscore Camels in 2nd to lead by 9 at half. Camels turn up the defensive intensity out of the locker room and work their way back to take a quick 51-50 lead but trail after three periods 52-51. Camels press in the 4th and SK goes on 10-0 run. As previously mentioned, the press didn't seem to bother SK. Camels gave up too many easy baskets and the 4th quarter became a track meet.

     

    IMO the Camels can score in many ways. Putting up points is not the issue. If they are going to make a run in the tourney, it's going to be because they decide to flat out get after somebody on defense and cut down on the turnovers. Defense wins championships.

  4. Unofficially Blake Losey with 23 for the Camels; played as hard a game as he's played all year. Soph Cole Hegyi with 18 points and 11 boards. Deondre Jackson with 17. Camels need the intensity that Losey had all night. DJ Jenkins got a lot of his points from the line in the 4th quarter and Thompson had free reign inside without Wilson in the middle for the Camels. Wilson may be back on Friday vs. Fleming Co.

    Camels called for twice as many fouls and only shot 4-7 from the line while Harrison was 25-33 from the FT line. Hard stat for the Camels to overcome.

  5. High ankle sprain to Campbell Co.'s Wilson could be a major factor when all is said and done. This type injury is not understood by many. Always happens when the foot is abruptly turned outward, versus a normal ankle sprain when the foot rolls inwards. The tibia and fibula are held together by a tendon that is stretched during the injury. Three distinct levels can result. Simplest is a strain that might allow uncomfortable but reasonable use in a short time (maybe couple weeks). Second level is such a stretching/strain that there might be partial tearing of the tendon. This level requires extended stabilization and can be pretty lengthy in recovery. Third level is actual tearing of the tendon and will require surgery and extensive recovery and rehab. Third level often results in the smaller bone breaking. I am not a doctor, just an old timer that took 4 months to recover from the 2nd level. Many people mistakenly think a high ankle sprain is just a bad rolling sprain that can be walked off over time. Wrong!

     

    Hope Wilson's is just the less severe high ankle sprain and he will be back in a few weeks. With him the Camels can challenge Mason Co. In the 10th.

     

    Had heard a few days after it happened that the expectation was "out 2-4 weeks".
