York has the better team this year. Very athletic and well coached. Strong was still by far the best player on the floor and we are talking about an individual award on this thread. 

I am really glad that you clarified what the post was about. I was just making conversation because I was not able to see the game. I was not arguing the fact that Grant Strong is a great ball player either.

He did, but what coach doesn’t help out his best offensive player?  He was held to 14pts tonight by one of (if not THE best) defenders in 1A (btw, he gets no credit from the media and he guards the best player from every team regardless of position). He’s still the BEST player in 1A. 

You are correct on all your points...Hunter is a phenomenal defender that pretty much locked down reigning & future Mr. Basketball.

A buddy of mine said he had to guard a freshman from PC all night tonight.  If he cant defend?????

 

I wasn’t there wish I had of been. Some people have to work unfortunately for me I am one of them. I knew PC would play much better than they did in Byrdstown last week. Too good of a team and too well coached. It won’t surprise me one bit if Pickett wins a game against Clay.  Either way both of these teams will be in Murfreesboro come March and I hope they play for all the marbles!

If Pickett would’ve made their free throws they would’ve won. They controlled tempo and kept Strong under wraps. The sophomore big for Pickett got Arms in foul trouble and was a thorn in the side to clay all night. If Pickett can incorporate him in with the guards shooting,  should be a tough combo to defend.  It will all come down to who gets to dictate tempo. Whoever does should get to avoid E. Rob till the region finals.  Just my $.02.

I think the reasoning behind that would be the coach doesnt want him to get in foul trouble. When you score like that, the coach is not going to put you on the other teams best player. And just because someone is a freshman doesnt really mean much anymore. I saw a freshman from a local high school boys team get face guarded the other night so you cant always assume a freshman is not a huge offensive threat

They do it to keep them “fresh” to be able to score as they don’t have a ton of offensive players. 1A and some of 2A have a lot of this. When you have 200-700 students there’s usually not a lot of very skilled offensive basketball players. Coaches in these divisions have to try and maximize what they’ve got.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
