[TheRealKing]

Official book has Shepperson with 8 points all in the second quarter.

Sorry my bad...

Sophomore

 

Wow, he'll be unstoppable in a couple of years, if not sooner.

It's a scary sight him and the king kid only sophomores

Listen, Both Guffey and Shepperson are very good players.

 

VictoryFormation talked about Guffey getting denied 25 ft from the basket. That is one player guarding him. Shepperson is very talented, especially for his size, but for the most part is played straight up. Blevins faces at least a double team EVERY time he touches the ball.

 

I am not trying to diminish either player, but Guffey had two respectable games, but neither were eye opening against York and they're so called "mediocre" perimeter players. Shepperson had one average game and one stellar game against York but was never doubled (maybe in hindsight we should have in the one last week!).

 

Just feel like Blevins has much more resistance in every game to face than the other two do, and it's not even close imo.

 

Hope King's injury isn't serious. He is a very good player.

Is the King kid okay?  Saw him go down in the second, not sure if he came back.  Looked like a knee/leg.

1 gets bye and 7-8 play in game.

Any players gets doubled when there 6'8" doesn't make a mvp... Best player guffey or Shepperson gets it I feel like it's only right... King is ok talked to a woman from sc and he has a real bad sprain...

[TheRealKing]

The refs should feel guilty... Very tuff fought game with upperman manning up and fighting to win thru it... King was hurt as the buzzer sounded before half... Didn't return...

Now that is realistic. But, what if there is a tie for first?

Head to Head first then record against top teams.

So because he is 6-8 he shouldn't be MVP? Honestly thought Eldridge should have won it last year, this year it's a no brainer for Blevins in my opinion.

 

Leads the district in scoring and probably rebounding even with all the attention he gets defensively. Probably in top 2, if not leading in blocked shots. Pretty easy decision really.

If I were a coach, and someone wanted to front one of my players all over the floor, I wouldn't care if that player scored at all.  I'd play 4on4 all day, especially if the rest of the D was packed in on my post.  UHS has enough spot up shooters that they can sacrifice a "respectable" game for Guffey and still get a win.  And that's the point, even if he's not getting the numbers, he's still helping his team win.

 

Not sure who said YAI's perimeter player were mediocre, is this your opinion or someone else's?

 

As for the double teams, pretty much all teams are coached that when the ball goes to the post, the D collapses, whether man or zone.  So effectively, most all post players are "doubled" or at least see help side defense.  Endicott was tripled (high/low/baseline) for the most part tonight and as a result didn't have his best game.  But, Guffey was able to make this an ineffective strategy with his scoring ability.  Not sure how many steals/caused turnovers he had on the defensive end as well.
