MBA beat Summit Tuesday night.  And finished ahead of Summit in the Ryan Tournament.

Yeahhh looking at the box score. It wasnt near the same lineup they had for FR. 

 

This point in the season, against a team they wouldnt see in the post season. Its clear the dual didnt really mean a whole lot. 

 

Unless you're suggesting MBA has a better team than Father Ryan?

Why is anyone crying about starters being out of the lineup or where they are ranked at this time of the year?  The only time anyone should care about rankings is the last rankings of the season and unless you win a state championship you lost and the difference between 2nd and 8th really doesn’t matter.  Unless a team is extremely fortunate they will all have to deal with injuries throughout the season.

Bradley is gonna get a couple more shots at cleveland this year. This was supposed to have been then year that they would beat them. If it doesn’t happen this year it won’t happen again for at least 5 years and that’s being modest. The atmosphere last night was nuts. 

Agreed on the atmosphere.  Just amazing for a high school match. Bradley may be able to flip 220 and HWT but those are probably the only ones.  One issue is that Bradley’s 3 hammers typically get them 18 points against most teams but against Cleveland they only got 11 last night.  Barring  Cleveland injuries, everything would have to go perfect for Bradley to get the upset … but that’s why they wrestle the matches.

No.  They may well be though, we'll know at the state tournament.  Ryan was missing 3-4 starters against Summit.  Summit may have been missing some too.  Just pointing out the absurdity of pre tournament rankings.  Makes for interesting board banter, but it will all shake out at state.

195 could easily gone the other way too and could be flipped, based on what I watched.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
