WoW that is a very nice classic...Their is a nice set of players in this tourney...

[kthuggin]

Ridgeway 76 Southwind 68......and oh Darrian Gray is much better and so is Corieon Pearson (He didn't even play) Again, the same exact line ups played the game last year as juniors for most of the game, with the exception of CP played.......A good game nevertheless!

[JodyJoe]

Heard Black went nuts in the 4th Qtr. after Southwind was up 10 at the start. If Black gets the touches he needs too, then Ridgeway should beat Southwind on a regular basis, maybe 7 out of 10 especially with J3 out.

[kthuggin]

Black was huge late in the game......He had 2 early fouls in the 1st quarter and sat the half. Halftime score was 36-35 (southwind).....Cameron Golden and Kris Brewer played huge in the 4th as well! Some very key defensive stops as well some pressure 3's to cut in the deficit!

[JodyJoe]

Good game, can't wait to see the game at Southwind. How did Kedorian Sullivan play? He's number 35 on Southwind.

First of all, I thought Ridgeway would win State in the preseason. Once I saw them against Sheffield, I second guessed. Then I saw Melrose, and I changed my mind altogether But now, I again think they can get it done, but ONLY if they give it to the young fella inside.

Now the game:

Southwind's half-court offense looked pretty sad in the second half. They looked like they chose the worst shots possible(Mason and Gray in particular). J3 makes them a threat in the half-court. But when they're running up-tempo, they work magic. Game started with great intensity. I think Ridgeway kept that energy higher than Southwind did. Paige got some foul trouble, and guess what...........Ridgeway actually GAVE IT TO THE YOUNG FELLA INSIDE, and he was automatic. Gray was a monster and Cameron Golden is the king of the hill once Joe Jackson graduates(and I can't be challenged on that one). That was the most consistently intense individual effort I've seen from anybody this season. He played all 32 minutes He pushed and dragged them to the win. Funny thing is, I remember last year's first meeting against Southwind at Ridgeway, when Golden entered the game, caught the ball on the right wing, got nervous and began to tap-dance with the ball, got called for traveling. Henning immediately took him out of the game, as it was obvious he couldn't handle the atmosphere at that time(that was the only possession he played the whole night). He COMPLETELY folded under the pressure. Well....Look at him now

He played solid, to me. And actually, I thought he should've gotten some minutes in the 4th quarter. I don't think I remember seeing him in the second half at all, certainly not in the 4th.

 

If Southwind just keeps the tempo up, they'll beat anybody, easily. They played half-court ball the entire second half and it didn't look too hot. Paige made some nice-looking plays though. When they played Germantown, they did the same thing. If Mason wasn't on fire, they'd have lost that game too. Just run, too deep, too quick, USE IT!!!!!!! Ridgeway, however runs relentlessly, i mean every single chance they get.

How many points did Tarik Black have-- anyone know?

[JodyJoe]

It believe somewhere around 16 or 18. He scored 14 in the 2nd half alone and from the commercial appeal story it seems like Southwind didn't go to Gray late(again like the White Station and Gtown game)? Is that right? In my honest opinion after J3, Gray should be the obvious answer in the half court. He may have one of the best mid-range games in the city.

 

White Station squeaks by Mitchell by 8. Is that a good win? Jackson had 22 and so did Hollins.

 

Melrose beats East comfortably, Ced McAfee scored his first points. Adonis goes for 18 and Chris Jones for 21. I would LOVE to see Ridgeway and Melrose play. Nate Rucker vs. Tarik Black. Backcourt of Melrose vs. Ridgeway's.

[kthuggin]

This was from the commercial appeal website.....

 

 

Southwind (68) -- Walter Davis 8, Montez Fifer 3, Darrian Gray 24, Denzell Hardy 3, Donavan Humphreys 2, Nick Mason 15, Darious Paige 10, Kedorian Sullivan 3.

 

Ridgeway (76) -- Tarik Black 14, Christopher Brewer 14, Materrace Brock 9, Cameron Golden 19, Brandon Lewis 8, Darryl Marshall 10, Adam Weary 2.

Forget it JodyJoe the Officials will never let it be a good game between Rucker and Black. Both of them will have 3 fouls in the first quarter. Both of their games are more taylored for the College level. I do know what u mean tho. I would love to see a good ole fashion big man battle. The Refs just will not allow it. They will hurt both of them with all that ticky tack calling. Memphis game more leaning for the Guards. Look how Black and Rucker both plays out of Memphis. Even in the Arby's Rucker was Stunning the crowd. Get back to memphis same ole same ole 2 fouls in the first quarter and all on soft calls. Shameful
