IrishBBall Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) It's a little early in the season for Harrison to start dominating. He's only been at 1 practice and there's a big difference in football shape vs. basketball shape! Most of the Catholic football players took several days off after a tough playoff loss to Fulton. It will be interesting seeing how the football players blend into the mix. In addition to that, we have 2 huge losses to replace in All-state four year starter Matt Parton and Tremane Brown. Should be a typical Catholic low scoring defensive battle. Catholic hasn't played yet since so many of the guys played football and ther head coach is also a football assistant. First game jitters may hurt the Irish in this one! Edited November 27, 2006 by IrishBBall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueangel51 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) the slower place will fit into stones style. coach buck hangs his hat on defense and good shot selection. it will be interesting for me to find out what kind of talent this region has. dont be surprised if this game is close late and if stone can play to their potential maybe even squeek one out, but it dont think it will happen at catholic, maybe at smhs but not there Catholic 59 SMHS 50 Edited November 28, 2006 by blueangel51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHour22 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) We will find out if coach Buck hangs his hat on defense and shot selection. Catholic will not try to trap Stone the whole game like Oliver Springs did. I was at the Stone vs OS game and they won 62-60, If they give up 60 points to Catholic, they will get beat atleast 10 points! After this game, we will know alot more about Stone and how they will fair in this district and region. I am going to pick Catholic just because of the defense that they play. Good luck to both teams! Edited November 27, 2006 by HappyHour22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBallFan31 Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I do not know much of anything about Stone, but Knoxville Catholic should win this one. It will be interesting to see how many players Catholic's coach plays. I've been to some of Catholic's games over the past two years and he hardly brings more than 1 maybe 2 guys off the bench.

blueangel51 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I agree HH22, if Catholic scores more than 60 they will win, however I hope i'm wrong on this one as my team isnt exactly anything to brag about. anyways good luck SMHS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboy 92 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) This might be a good game i dont know much bout stone though especially if catholic keeps it a slow pace game like they have in the past Edited November 28, 2006 by bigboy 92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBallFan31 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I saw in the paper Knoxville Catholic won 37-31. Looks like Catholic is playing the same way I saw them play last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game jitters may hurt the Irish in this one! You always hear the football vs. basketball shape delima mentioned this time of year and I thought the same thing for a long time and it still applies to me when it comes to the average high school athlete but in recent years I've witnessed football players coming in and making immediate impact on the team and thier performances... make no mistake about it Harrison Smith is NO AVERAGE HIGH SCHOOL athlete he is a STUD that will dominate early and often. The team on the other hand is a different story they may struggle because of chemistry but it won't be because of a lack of basketball shape from H. Smith.

The team on the other hand is a different story they may struggle because of chemistry but it won't be because of a lack of basketball shape from H. Smith. No question Harrison is in a class by himself with regard to athleticism. But after 2-3 times up the floor he was out of gas and didn't feel comfortable with the ball. I don't think Harry would disagree that he's no where close to "his" basketball shape but even given where he's at, he's still a better athlete than 80% of the players. He's not really a polished basketball player but is so much more athletic than most everyone else that he can dominate with physical skills not basketball skills.
