Very true. This game is pretty much about bragging rights.
I'm also surprised that it's not being talked about as much as I thought it would.
Two top 5 teams in the state, cross town rivals and not many people talking.
I'm excited for this game tonight, it's gonna be a good one!
This is really too close to call, the game could go either way. But, I'll go with Holmes in this one. After losing to HC earlier this season it should spark a fire in them to punch back and take the title. But this will be a nail bitter and a GREAT atmosphere. Gym will be PACKED
The Crosstown Rivals will meet again this Thursday at 7 o'clock in the Championship game for the 35th district at Holmes.
Holmes knocked off NDA 59-40 while Holy Cross Rolled over Beechwood 65-36 in the semifinals of the tournament.
Earlier this season the Lady Indians held the bulldogs to 16-60 shooting (26%) giving the Bulldogs their lone loss of the season falling 51-47
The Lady Bulldogs come into this game with a 28-1 record
The Lady Indians come into this game with a 25-3 record
With a district championship on the line, who wins this battle? Why?
Never said Holmes was going to lose, in fact I believ they're going to beat NDA by 10+ but I think this game will be more interesting than the game in the regular season for two reasons
1. It's tournament time: so both teams are gonna come out fighting
2. Both teams have grown and probably scouted each other well.
Very true, Notre Dame drew Holmes in the first round. Holmes beat NDA by 22 when they met last month. But, NDA has grown so much since then. Losing to HC by 8 and HC beating Holmes by 4. Should be an interesting first round game at the fieldhouse at Holmes.
My gut say Holmes by 10+ but in all honestly it depends on what CC team shows up. I know they can shoot from outside, either way if CC is hitting shots from outside my gut still says Holmes takes this one but much close 2-5 point win.
