9AA TALK 2013-14

I believe Norl was the MVP of the fall league. He is a heck of a player who plays with a really calm demeanor and can shoot the lights out. One thing that helps the Cubs in this matchup this year is Kenwood not having Maleek Hall. That guy really set the tone for their defense last year by putting a great deal of pressure on the opponent's primary ballhandler. May be one of the reasons why Saunders had it in his hands so much last year. Really looking forward to the game tomorrow. If you make it to Ashland City tomorrow night look me up and I will buy you some nachos and a coke and we can talk hoops Talent.

Gotcha- This game could go either way, just depends on which team plays better tomorrow night. Good measuring stick game for both(especially Cheatham) against solid competition before settling into district play. Obviously CPA is a dominant team and no shame in losing to that collection of talent, but Cascade pulling the upset over Kenwood was shocking even without Rivers. Haven't seen the Champions this year, but they must be much improved to have gotten off to such a great start.

Yea Hall was as quick as they come he averaged like 5 steals a game. No doubt that they miss his speed. To make things worst both there starting PG and back up are out for the season with injuries. Both have not played this year. That job was given to sophomore Norl brother Matthew who is a natural on the block a great passer who make great decisions but is not a point. I wish I could grab those nachos with you but I'm not sure I'm going to make that game. Maybe next time.

Cascade just moved up to AA this year, they will be tested Jan. 7th when they play CPA. They have a good all around team.

[mumbletypeg]

Saw Cascade last year and they were a pesky team. I talked to their coaches last year and they weren't too excited about moving up and into a district with the likes of CPA, Giles, Spring Hill, & Marshall. The move up seems to have gone better than anyone could have anticipated. Wins over Kenwood and Giles tell me they are much improved and a good team. CPA will definitely provide a challenge.

Some of the fans and Coaches didn't like it but the kids seem to have welcomed it.  Good Luck to Cheatham tomorrow night.

[mumbletypeg]

Thanks gotcha. Would love to see Cascade shock the basketball world next week.

[Bamapappy]

Cheatham/ Kenwood should be a good one, 2 of the better teams I have seen this year along with CPA and lighthouse Christian. Cheatham could make a run to state this year. Have seen Cascade as well against Giles, deep team played about 8 or 9 kids and the Holt kid can stroke it.

[gottcha]

Never seen the Saunders kid play but if the matchup is anything like the Holt Norl matchup you guys are in for a great game tonight

Cleggy report.  The Patriot Express has been derailed.  Record has dropped to 6-6 talent not showing up in production.  At this rate, I'll agree with mumbly, CC would beat them by 30.  Gotta get it together starting with better defense and improved shooting.  Opponets seem to be averaging 70% plus on FGA  while the Pats are probably more like 20-30%.  Bad recipe to get some wins.  Need improvement across the board if they want to right the ship.  I know they have the talent, just not clicking.  Cleggy out.
