8AA 2014 Predictions

[dcclaw]

Dcclaw who are the 2 kids u are referring to that will be back. Team plays real hard, but not extremely talented. Bone and Beck are slightly above average for the district. Just can't possibly see how 2 kids will make that much of a difference. I will remain optimistic, but hard to believe. We know we can beat Boyd. Lol

true, true. . .where would we be without our fiends from Boyd. lol. . . munoz and patterson are the guys we get back after break.

Thanks dcclaw, knew those kids were football guys. Didn't know they played basketball. How much can they help.

say what you will about DC's schedule this year but it WAS just what the Dr ordered. with ONE returning starter from last years squad these guys needed an opportunity to develop as individual players and ultimately gel as a unit and they've done just that. their schedule would not have been well suited for a team who's nucleus had been together for 1,2 or more years but again, perfect for them. aside from one blow out loss to LA, DC has been in every game. Compare DC in its first game to DC in its last game and you'll see two very different teams.

 

Mega kuddos to the coaching staff for pushing the boys but at the same time remaining patient with them as they developed.

 

2 players from last years team who were injured during football season will return after the break. Beck (Guard) and Bone (SF) are a dynamic 1-2 punch. Bone is as good as athlete as you'll find in the District, Beck's growth has been outstanding at the PG position. Manages the game well, can drive, shoot or kick at will. If Bone were strictly a post player he'd be a force to recon with near the rim.

 

Props to the big dogs in the District for where they're at but DC ain't the same team it was a couple months ago. Got there work cut out for them for sure, but there is a "storm a brewin" in DC

 

You are dreaming and fine dream there.

Our DR ordered at Brainerd, East Nashville,and Hamilton Heights. LA had Carter, on and on and on, other teams in 8 as also. Our health Care specialists prescribe A lot harder meds then the Children's Motrin DC has been receiving.

my guess is they'll both step into the starting lineup right away. munoz is physical, can handle the ball (likely would've been the PG if Beck hadnt shown up) and plays excellent defense. . . patterson is a good all around player, has a good shot, above average ball handler. . . should see a decline in turnovers with them in the lineup (thank goodness). . . no miracles in our future but we're a better team with them in the line up. . .to what degree, we'll have to see. . .again turnovers should decline and PPG should rise.

Hearing Patterson may not be back till the very end of the season.

 

Could just be a rumour though. I will say that immediately starting two players that have missed half of the season would be a bad idea. The fact that we've hung tough with some of the better teams in the district tells me that what we are doing isn't all bad.

 

Changing too much too quickly could be a step backward.

if the rumors of them coming back are true, there may be some pressure to insert them right away because they're both seniors. I agree with you, too much change this far into the season could hurt more than help. probably in the best interest of the team to ease them into the lineup little by little. . .good to have two more athletes on the team. . . IMO the number one priority should be: Chemistry. . . no need to figure this out in the first game(s) back. . .they've got time to sort it out. .  .

York Boys beat Cumberland County tonight. The final was 73-63, I think. Might've been 73-61, either way its on to Livingston Tuesday night. Time to see what we are made of.
