Grace has excellent players at the skill positions and should score a lot of points. However, they will probably give up a lot. They should be fun to watch. Probably cannot compete with Boyd Buc and South Pittsburg. Grace does not have a lot of size --- makes it tough to stop the run.

Two months ago I would not have given anyone in the region a chance against Arts. I still think they are the best if they play their A game. However; Arts, Grace, & Temple have each had spells of inconsistency. They all look great at times and so-so at other times. Grace has probably been the most consistent since Christmas but their ball handling leaves a lot to be desired at times - better than last year but not that great. If they can limit their turnovers they will be hard to beat but that is a big "if". Should be some great games as 21st, Silverdale, So Pitt all capable of upsets. Region champ has a much better chance to make it to state. I realize Arts won on the road last year in sub state but it is tough.

McMasters had 16 mostly on 4 three pointers. Hard to compare he and Juric as they are such different players. Juric has improved his offensive game. I thought he played pretty well. Herman had 27 for Grace. A couple of offensive rebounds for ER late in game was the difference.

Grace wins by 7. All the key players except Kemp were in foul trouble. Grace had a fairly comfortable lead with 2 minutes left but a bad pass and a technical foul made it a struggle to the end.

Both teams are playing better than at the time of their first meeting. Any opinions?

Grace is much better than when they first played CSAS. However, I still think CSAS with Dontay is a better team than Grace. Not nearly the difference there was early in the season though.
