Best advice...try to do what Bolton did..Stall..hold the ball...limit possessions...question is though, do you have the guard play to do that. If not, East wins that game by 20

East could win this game by 30+ over Cleveland really. I think with Dandridge being out for sure now makes it a little less painful for Bolton. Probably more like 15-20 points instead. Cleveland has the ability to play a game with stall tactics. I honestly don't even see how Bolton even remotely had early success doing this to Memphis East.

Cleveland has a much better team than Bolton & to me if they slow the pace of the game down that will be their ONLY chance to knock Memphis East out of the tourney. I don't think Cleveland can keep it close playing an up tempo style game like Memphis East will want to play.

Look at how Dobyns-Bennett played Bearden in the Sectionals. They used at least 1:00 minute off the clock each possession. Bearden got real frustrated wit these tactics because they are an up tempo high scoring team. Bearden never did really adjust to DB's style of play in the game but made enough plays in the 4th quarter to win the game. DB just gave other teams a way to play Bearden. However, teams that try this will need to have the guards to be able to do it. I think the same stall tactics will be the best way to beat Memphis East as well.

I wouldn't call it a stall tactic.  Slowing the pace down by running a motion offense with different cutters is how to equalize a more athletic team until you get an open look (If it's not there then keep running the motion offense until you get an open look).  Coach Poor at DB took that offensive play from his Former coach at Greeneville in Bill Duncan who beat a lot of more athletic teams while coaching at Greeneville, Scott Co, and Heritage running the exact same play.

I don’t think “stalling” will help Cleveland chances at all. They have to score the basketball, and if they don’t, then they’re in serious trouble. Cleveland needs to get this game into the 60’s, if not, 70’s. Stalling and limiting possessions is not a key ingredient when you’re playing a team that has a 7 footer who’s athletic, mobile, and can jump and block shots. If Cleveland stalls and make it a game in 40’s, mine as well grab a shirt from the merchandise stand and go be prepared to go home. What happens if Cleveland stalls and not come away with points from that possession? Just losing bunch of seconds go off the clock

Cleveland will be patient with their offense. I dont think they will stall, but take good shots when they present themselves.

Cleveland is better than people think! Don’t be shocked if they hang around and don’t think that they have no chance. Wood and Johnson can completely control the game. They are definitely underdogs - yes. But this is a terrific group of guards that can handle the ball and really shoot it well. Good luck to the guys from Cleveland.

It looks like Memphis East didn't get the message about how good Cleveland was.

It was a stall tactic to be able to do exactly what you & I both said.

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
