Wasn't as close as score intends imo. Was a 10 point lead most of game, and around 14 entering 4th. Can definitely take lessons how to close the game. Was a 7 point lead with under a minute left and all kinds of things transpired. Think this was just one of those march endings and the blue colonels escaped.

Bradshaw??

This and the close beechwood win has me concerned for Newport. Neither of those teams are good/great defensively, while Cooper/CCH are. And they are giving them a great scouting report to use. Newport won't be gifted all the turnovers and lack of offense like this opponent provided them in those games.

Yeah all 3 played in the A. Seemed liked a one man show for Lyon in that one. They slowed everyone else down!

Hopefully that slightly down week Lyon had opened their eyes and got them ready to roll for tournament time. Would be a shame not to see them make one last run for that group of seniors. And I want to see Perry on that open floor with 10k plus watching.

It'll be tough to beat this team if they continue to be as efficient as they have been. Moreno inside is being matched perfectly with spacing and shotmaking to create this. With the draw I don't see anyway they aren't in the finals, Lyon doesn't have the other horses outside of there big 3.

No biggie, hey any insight is good insight. Hopefully he is okay for post season I would like to see everyone at full strength.

Do you know forsure of an injury Sixer?

That would be troublesome, he's the engine that makes that thing go. You lose Mil and you lose the head of your snake.

Care to elaborate? Obviously a cooper injury because as many would agree they are the only ones slated to make noise at Truist.

And cooper just beat CCH by the way!!

Campbell beat Mason by 11 and only lost to GRC by 3. IMO I think all 3 big dogs from the 9th are head and shoulders above the top of the 10th. I mean CCH just beat Campbell by 23 coulda been more. And they lost the reed brothers so that's some scoring they lose!

You think that Mason/Cooper game will really be all that? I think cooper could 15-20+ them. The 9th is so much better than the 10th this year.

People aren't watching these games who's saying closer than expected , Kinney is a shell of himself. Yes we got the matchup we wanted but this still isn't at full strength. Tay looks maybe 60% of himself, doesn't hardly have any explosion toward the rim. And struggling to run full speed especially in transition it's noticeable, and when he tries to keep good guards in front it's tough. I think they will go zone to help him but it's still not ideal. Wanted to see this heavyweight matchup at full strength. He is still talented enough to score but he needs to get healthy quick for them to do regional damage.

If Newport loses it's to Lyon county who is considered the best team in the state outside of crossing. Newport I don't think loses in region again as long as Tay is healthy.

Lyon is a whole different animal. Perry will control the game and you better play great man to defense and close out on shooters!

I don't know about having my guys lift everyday of the week in the middle of a basketball season. But it's common that guys workout with football during the other seasons. Again I wouldn't be doing it 5 days a week with any heavy weight, but we have to remember Boyle is a football school. I'm sure that comes first and sometimes is used against kids at big football schools like that if they aren't showing up.

This is Lyon Country tournament to lose. Their shooting and discipline are gonna be tough for any team to beat them and that's for the Sweet 16 as well. Newport/Evangel healthy are the only ones I can see make a game of it. And I don't think either team is right now.

Who would you propose goes?

Moeller by 15+. Highlands just isn’t that great of a team this year!

Speaking of long couple of years, I’ve heard again that he is going prep after this season. Just the messenger and would make sense, he is blowing up quite a bit.

Any insight on what happened here? Newport is really good but still surprised somewhat about this margin.

I believe he is top 5 currently but getting close to first won’t be hard. And he is still young! I’d have to go back and look at the thread that was on here when he became CCH all time leader.

The daddy ball comments are getting so old already. The best players will play regardless and always have!

I think I’m gonna trust the 2 time state champion and the 9th region most winningest coach of all time. I know the loss is frustrating to some, but let’s not get too concerned with an early season loss that doesn’t mean anything. Freddy and Scott always have it figured it come tournament time.
