8AA Mid Season Review

[TigerPride23]

Also, I'd like to give props to LA. Shows what a quality team they have. One injury worries us against them so bad, but we have beat everyone else with injuries all year. Even the region semi final missing two players. Shows how tough the district is. I hope tonight we find a way to keep it competitive. I can see it now.. Sonni and Atnip have the game of their lives helped by three point shooting across the board for the team. Hey, just being optimistic.

Worst DC fan ever? Bc I'm stating the FACTS? You obviously don't know basketball if you don't agree with what I say. Do you not understand that THREE key players are out for this game?

That's why they play the game. Good Luck to DC. Also good luck to LA in substate.

You can definitely see the progress we've made this year depth wise. At the beginning of the year missing the three players we are I don't think we'd be in as good of shape as we are now. It is still bad, but we still have I'd say 3 very productive players off the bench.

DC fans: who do you think gets the last starting spot tonight? Vincent, Patterson, or Bone? Could go with another perimeter shooter, or could go with a little more height with Bone.

[Stealer007]

Could be any of the 3. Depends on what u need most.

DC can hang, but must get off to a fast start.

LA will be licking their chops.

DC v LA round 4 tonight. DC holds the serious edge at 2-1, but LA but a little beat down on DC in the district champ game. Some could argue the game really did not matter as DC ended up with a much easier side of the bracket, but LA made it look very easy destroying Upperman the other night. DC is without 3 players with two of those being major contributors. I do not count molander on the list of contributors besides just being a body that can play a little D. Luckily this game does not end the season, but I see Coach Martin of Dekalb throwing alot out there tonight because he really wants this win and a home game. In the end I see Patterson getting the starting nod. Vincent isnt the best ball handler and bone just is not strong enough to bang around down low. Patterson is the closest to Howell that Dekalb has left and Howell is what gave livingston problems. I see LA taking this game in a close one. 56- 51. Atnip and Fullilove having pretty good games. Also with Patterson taking this start it will get him ready for a huge substate game next monday

Ok this is looking a little ahead but it is a scenario that will happen so I don't think I'm over looking anything by bringing it up. Win or lose DC or LA will be playing Howard or Central. Both games will be determined by who wins and loses in region 3 and 4.

 

If LA is healthy and DC has best case scenario with Howell and Phillips back, what are the chances of 8AA being competitive and having a chance to win the sub-state game?

LA won't pay too much attention to who is or isn't playing. A couple of bad fouls can even it up fast. LA was licking their chops for their 6th region championship in a row no matter who it is or what the situation! Anything can happen, good luck to both & no injuries.

I guess what I'm asking is what are the two teams from region 3's strong points? What do they like to do? Tempo, outside shooting, inside shooting?
