8AA 2014 Predictions

[UpperCumberlandMan]

I don't disagree, maybe better talent wise, I don't think there is any question that the Blevins kid at York has more going for him as far as size, shooting touch, and just an overall ability to score the ball, etc... but the thing that makes Eldridge a better high school player IMO is he plays harder. Gets every rebound he's close to, has enough size and strength to play inside and dominate at times, and enough agility to be on the perimeter. But he just flat out competes and has that "high motor".

 

No doubt both are very good players.

100% agree

That is a good assessment of the two. With that being said, I would have to take Eldridge. Blevins' upside is undeniable. Hollars & Linder are good young men & both have a football future outside of HS. Dont want to loose them from this basketball team though! They are two of the best athletes in the district, hard to replace that. Fortunately, LA can still go 9 to 10 deep & Hayes will contribute. Miller was also averaging around 20 pts a game before football was over & lost alot of minutes. Look for him to step up. Edited December 10, 2014 by oldkodger

I like Macon over Upperman, York over DC, LA over Central and Cannon over Smith tonight.

Half - LA 24 CM 24. This is a complete shocker.

Lucky for us, you have to play 2 halves. LA pulled away in the 2nd half to win big. Goes to show you though anything can happen in sports.

Cannon over smith 84-60

[dctiger]

York over DC 57-56. DC got way behind, went back up six, and lost in the closing seconds. Easily 50 fouls called in the game.

[MaconVol]

Macon over Upperman 60-52.

Very ugly basketball being played in Baxter this week. Two halftime leads blown due to missed foul shots and isolation basketball. Everyone looking for their own shot, nobody trying to create for someone else so most times it's 1 pass and shoot in the half court set.There has been some good flashes when we push the tempo and run the floor. Maybe we can get things turned around in Florida. Congrats Macon

Smith County bounced back tonight with a win over Page at home 56-55. Good win for the Owls. Tuesday nights district games are: DeKalb at Macon, LA at Smith, York at Cannon. Who y'all got?
