Who won the game between lipscomb and goodpasture played on april 29?

The score was 5-2 bud, learn how to count lol, and as far as defensive mistakes and the keeper being out of position, thats how all goals are scored, lol, dont make excuses, they still won handily i just thought it was an interesting game considering FRA is always supposed to be incredible and they were tied to Ezell at half 2-2.

I was at the game last night of Ezell v. Lipscomb, and it was a great game other than Lipscomb lack of self control from #3, #11, #21, and #14. #3 whines more than any little boy I have ever seen. #11 was a little spaz who lost his temper when he made a mistake, #21 made fun of an injured player on Ezell Harding's team, and #14 just wouldnt shut his mouth the entire game, for example after Lipscomb scored their second goal, he shouted out (and i know he shouted it because i heard him from the stands) "Theres still 3 minutes left, we can score 10 more goals on these guys, they're terrible." #14 needs to grow up, and count his lucky stars Hunter Burney or Josh Pitto didnt shut him up themselves. It may have been a tie game on the scoreboard, but Ezell comes out with the victory because of the lack of maturity Lipscomb showed, and the tolerance Ezell showed for their "trash talk".

Someone told me the Ezell v. FRA game was a close one on Tuesday, I saw in the paper that FRA won 5-2, but I was told it was 2-2 at halftime. I heard FRA went up 2-0 early but then they subbed in that Pitto kid who sat out for a while because of basketball, and he scored 2 goals in 10-15 minutes. But at after halftime he was being double and trpile teamed so Ezell couldnt get much offense going. I figured FRA would win this one easily by 6 or 7, I expected 6 or 7 to nothing. I guess FRA isnt as good as i thought, cuz Im pretty sure Ezell didnt pick up anyone new, and I think they lost their keeper, Schlappi. But anyways just wondering what anyone else thought if they saw or heard about the game?

sorry about the double post, accident

What do you think Ezell has to do in order to pull off the "upset"?

How do you guys think each team should prepare for each other, and what matchups look interesting?

Does the winner of this game have a chance against temple or middleton?

Some people seem to think that CAK is gonna roll to state and seem to already prepparing for Temple. I'll say that I am doubting a little bit, its hard to guard the big man Lackey inside and they have two great shooters in Pitto and Duke, just ask Mt. Pleasant. They tried to run a triangle and 2 to stop these two shooters and pitto had 3 threes in the second half alone, and Duke started off the game with the first 9 points. Mt. Pleasant will regret trying that triangle 2, lol, ezell has dealt with that defense all year against goodpasture, and have become very successful against the triangle and 2 and box and 1. Just look at the stats for those games on Pitto, Duke, and even Gettis. Pitto lit goodpasture up for 7 (seven) 3's and 25 points in their only loss to Goodpasture (2OT) because the big man Lackey fouled out halfway through the 4th quarter and Duke was out most of the game puking. Goodpasture went back to the triangle 2 and box and 1 because of the lack of inside presence with Lackey out, which led to Gettis getting easy drives to the basket and Pitto and Duke showed that they are very capable of moving without the ball to get open, and having set plays and motions just for theb triangle and 2 and box and 1 helps a lil too lol, Ezell was well prepared for the "junk defense" of Goodpasture in the District semifinals. Is Ezell beatable, yes, I think everyone in the tournament seems to be near the same level, with the exception of Temple who i believe has proved themselves to be the elite team of these final 8 teams. I just think that Ezell has the edge in this game, due to what i hear about CAK's "junk defense" and not having a core defense to fall back on like a solid man-to-man or a solid "Syracuse like" 2-3 zone. What do yall think?

I am pretty sure that Ezell's Lackey is 6'9" and 210 pounds, I have seen him play a few times, and he is a physical guy who loves contact, and seems to feed off physical play

Besides Novikoff, who is CAK's best player and why?

Here is Ezell's starting lineup: Starters PG #1- Josh Pitto, 6'0", looks to make others on the team perform better SG #2- Aaron Duke, 6'3", great driver, great shooter, great D, all-around player SG #22- Carl Gettis, 6'1", great driver, hits the open 3, really quick, great D PF #32- Chris Blackburn, 6'4", great rebounder, good counter for Lackey, great D C #30- Joe Lackey, 6'11", great post D, great post moves, 90% free throw shooter Subs SG #20- Brandon Harding, 6'1", defensive specialist, driver to finish PF #4- Cody Meek, 6'8", great post D, great baby hook move I have seen Ezell play 4 times against CPA, and it has been a great game every time. I love watching that District 9A mathcup, I have heard that Ezell has played well as of late. Anyone who knows anything about CAK, im curious to know how you think their players matchup with Ezell.

What kind of team is CAK? Are they a fast pace team that likes to run or would they rather take their time and set up? Are they a physical team or dont like contact? Are they better offensvie or defensive? better post defense or guard defense? better post offense or guard offense?

How do Ezell and CAK matchup in this early round game of the A state tournament? Can CAK defend Ezell's inside, stop inside penetration, and keep the perimeter shooting under control? Is Ezell ready for the East Tennessee team? Have they seen a team like this yet? What do yall think will happen in this interesting first round matchup? Who will win and by how much and WHY?
