How will we be? I'm sure we wont be as good. We lose 2 great possible All State players in Henderson and Merian. Higgins is gonna be a star and Gee returns at the PG position as a JR. He is already good and will only get better. Who will be the 5 next year? Johnson? Does he have potential to be any good? Don't know much about him. We will be lacking size. Do we have any coming up from the Freshmen and JV squads? Can we make it back to the Boro in the next 3 years?

I expect them to way down. Like 24-9, 13-3 in district. Prolly have to play away in sub state game. Lol.

 

On a serious note, they will be down. You can't replace those guys in one season. The team will be as good as Gee is. Higgins is their most athletic returning player. He's talented but still will only be sophomore, he could be a Henderson type player before he's done. Johnson will be as good as any other teams in the district. If green stays they'll contend for title again.

 

As for the district. It'll be very tough. AC, CC, central and Clinton have 4/5 of their lineups back. Powell loses Feilds, halls loses some solid bball players. Karns loses Sibley and a couple others. Gibbs was real young, and they can put it in the hole. I'd go out on a limb and say 11-5 gets u a piece of the championship. JMO.

Not trying to start an argument, but Higgins will be WAYYYYY better than Henderson before he's done. He is 6'3" and growing. Higgins should easily be D1. So OR has Gee, Mitchell, Higgins, an incredible shooter in freshman Deandre Gibson, freshman Anthony Gibson is a future star, and just maybe another big man not enrolled yet. Undefeated freshman team (only one game within 30 points). Next year, it will take a while, but they will be very good. The year after, state contenders.

 

Gotta fix this double post thing. Any suggestions?

Didn't say he wouldn't be as good as Henderson, said he could be that "type" of player. Could be great, we will just have to see how he works and how he develops. Also, with all that talent he may never get to be that guy, u know what I mean? They definately need a big man in that type of offense. Green loves running offense thru the post. Will still be best around here for several years to come.

Who was the real tall white kid on the freshmen team? Will he be any good?

I also think Higgins will be a lot better then Jaylin. Don't get me wrong Jaylin was great, but he really never did develop a really good jump shot. Basically was just a great slasher who was great at driving to the rim. I think Higgins has a chance to be in the mold of a Sibley. Slasher, but can also pull up from 20 feet and knock 'em down.

Ahh, the "diamond in the rough". Joey Kocak, I think he will be very good in time, but not in basketball. Just started playing football in the 8th grade and his football ceiling is very high. Just a reserve on the freshmen team, but is learning rapidly. He is about 6'5 220 as a freshman. I think as a junior he will get quality time. I like the thought of a 6'7, 270 offensive tackle or DE.

      2024 Mustangs

      By 1983 · Posted

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Baseball8 · Posted

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
