District 8AA

UHS lived up to the hype tonight. That’s a beat down.

Wow nice win.  If Riverdale is anywhere near what they usually are thats really impressive.

DC is 2-1.  Lost a close one to WC last night. Closer than the final score indicated. DC was playing without their point who is hurt and he may have made the difference in the game.  WC was a step faster and looked more athletic.   DC played hard last night and came back from being 18 points down to take the lead in the 3rd. Costly turnovers and a surge by WC won the game.  DC may have a decent year this year if they can get everybody back from injury and the football boys up to speed.

DC off to a good start. Beat a below average Van Buren team and a Middle of the pack Pickett Co team. Have 2 close wins.  One by 1 and one by 3. Could have gotten blowed out last night but we were resilient.  Kuddos to our kids for battling back. Best of luck at White Co, I will be there again. Go Tigers.

We definitely took a beating tonight.  Glad we are 2-2, very well could be 0-4. Put that one behind us and move on.

Being down two starters didn’t help. I don’t think it would’ve affected the outcome but the score may not have been as bad. I like how we look when we’re healthy.

I agree. Having the true point guard hurt and having to rely heavily on a freshman is making things difficult. I saw that #25 had a knee brace on. He was playing really good ball. Both of those being hurt are a major problem.  I have been surprised by the  Elswick-Jenkins-Antoniac.  I saw a JV game or 2 last year and thought #5 and #25 had a lot of upside.    Injuries killing us right now.  Maybe they  get health quickly

It's been a LOOOONG time since I've seen them play as hard as they played against WC Monday.

We still have Hale who’s out for other reasons than injury. He started some last year and is a good ball handler and shooter. We’ve got the personnel to compete this season. I think it’s a good thing we’re taking a few lumps early. Ramos is going to be something else when he finds his footing.

I agree Moonshiner, I haven't ever seen this group of kids play that hard. Keep it up boys. Never played that hard last year, that was a good point.

Is the big kid at RBS healthy? I know he was hurt.

[dctiger]

He played and had 23 points. We just looked plain bad.
