Does anyone think that a shot clock should be put into high school basketball?

Friday night at Bearden. 8:00 of course

I don't know if Bearden will win this one or not. In the game at Farragut, Bearden was doing fine until Blevins did his mass subbing where he rotates all five players out. The only problem I see with Blevins subbing is that it could cool off one of the players who may be on early in the game. Most times, however, his substitution tactics work b/c Bearden has a pretty balanced team as far as positions (except for Holiday). But I thinkthat subs may predict the outcome in the game if Farragut has their heads on straight.

I do agree that Torrence, Hunter, and Huckins need to be more productive, but that's why you set up an offense. They need to work the ball around so the post players can get some touches. THE BENCH NEEDS TO PLAY MORE. Brabson, Wright, and Wilson.

But what about their defense? Gibson appears to have greatly improved his offense, but his defense is still lacking. He may lead his team in steals, but that could be just playing the passing lane and not shutting down the other player. I could understand if he has 37 and his the other player has 15, but when both players go above 20 there appears to be a lack of defense somewhere. Correct me if I'm wrong. Honestly.

I don't know if Farragut's team is strong enough to bounce back in time to travel to Bearden and get a win after a disappointing loss to South Doyle. It seems that Farragut hasn't cared if they perform to their fullest potential or not (that's how it's looked their past few games anyway).
