Berger-Samsel, hands down. 1-2 punch. Throw in anyone else at different times.

How many points has she scored in just her high school years?

How is Orr playing? Saw her play in summer.

Fading back into retirement....

Ok I'm out of retirement, I went to game and am still in disbelief SHA didnt pack in to a basic grade school 2-3 zone and make Manual hit a shot from the outside. If I recall, Manual hit a three right out of the gate but the rest of the points were layups and free throws. Sacred Heart will not contend in the 7th if they continue to play like that. Manual took advantage of what SHA was giving them and just took it to the basket. SHA has too good of shooters but did not use them in second half, one hit a three when they were mounting a comeback and then was taken out. Samsel could have been gotten the ball better. Once Manual took big lead SHA got away from team ball. The big freshman Blackford for manual will also be a force for the next few years.i don't make all SHA games but did see the SHA v Eastern game and recall the same thing in that game. Second half SHA got away from team play, I think SHA had someone shoot 5/5 in first half and they did not get her the ball the second half. Still young, still plenty of time. Berger shot poorly in Manual game, if it was because of an ankle injury them she needed to change her game and distribute the ball to the shooters, Samsel and 43. Curry is a gamer as well.

With my disappointing prediction..... I am retiring from Bluegrass Preps! Goodbye cruel world!

SHA has weapons, even off bench, will need a big game from Taylor inside against McCune. I say SHA by 5!

When is the LIT and are brackets out? I saw the boys bracket.

Didn't Eastern beat Mercy and Sacred Heart?

True dat

Orca, SHA controlled the tempo and the game the first half, I think the crowd (and it was a good crowd) and the band (which was awesome) got to the young SHA in the second half. Don't get me wrong, Eastern is very solid and I could be and probably would be wrong about it. They will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the 7th!

Sounds like a great matchup! Boyle was #20 and NB was knocking on the door of the top 20How did the Bellarmine signee and Deel do?

As a non partial fan I thought I would go with all the hype that was being drummed up. Here are my thoughts. SHA wins on a neutral court. SHA's Fichter didn't miss a shot the first half but SHA guards would not pass her the ball the second half. From what I can tell Berger is a beast, just had an off game. She can get her shot off at will. The freshman guard is decent but has a long way to go to compete with a team like Eastern. Eastern is deep, they can bring someone in and give a break without losing much. SHA, not so deep. The Kinnaird kid can attack the basket like no ones business. I expected a lot of 3's in this game but there wasn't. Mishler I would put in the same category as the freshman from SHA. Remembering a previous thread, it had her in to 10 in the 7th. I would replace her with Fichter from SHA on that list. If Eastern's Collins would have gotten into the flow the score might have been by more. Eastern attacked the basket and SHA stopped after the plethora of charges called in the first quarter. SHA needed help guarding Porter after their big Taylor got two quick fouls on her. Hopefully they will get to play each other again. Good job to both teams!

Chomp

If I had a popcorn eating emoji I would post it but I don't so....chomp chomp chomp

Should be interesting, SHA only added a guard named Harris and only lost one major contributor in Johnson, it looks like Berger, Samsel, Harris, Taylor and Silvas has their work cut out for them. Eastern looks to have all starters retiring as well as a new name, it looks like in Mishler. I've heard SHA is young, is Eastern and who besides starters should we look for?

In reading through the previous posts, wasn't that comment from last year?

Is Porter in the same class as Male's Green and Manual's McCune?

Hey, awesome, a Jefferson county thread! Woohoo! Looks like it might be a barn burner, saw Eastern thumped North Bullitt! Do you have any inside scoop passtheball?

Sounds Eastern/Sacred Heart might be relevant in state rankings after today.

You sound like Pitino!

According to Max Preps there is a sophomore that is the leading scorer that you did not mention. Is she not part of the Sivils, Berger, Harris and a "big" group? Also I thought the Samsel girl was a threat from downtown! Having not seen them, the stats make it look like they are loaded. Eastern must not report to Max Preps, didn't see any stats.

Looking at the Riherds App, Eastern plays Sacred Heart next Tuesday. Any thoughts? Has anyone seen both teams play this year?

Sacred Heart, E-town, Eastern, I don't know how you could do things different other than let JV play against these teams.

Did Mishler play? Didn't see her in box score. She is eligible correct?
