Wow, you think the Vikings will win by fifteen (15)? Humboldt has a young team with three (3) Sophomores & two (2) juniors starting so what does Hamptom have as far as height?

Pretty big last year I know, wanna say their big is 6’6” 260 or so. Run the floor against them and you’ll be good. They Play fundamental though, if you leave your feet to make a pass or in the lane a hampton player is gonna be under you and draw a charge.

Hampton’s big has dropped a few pounds and is a little quicker than last year.   Not seen Humboldt play, but Hampton will give their all for 4 quarters and probably press the majority of time as well.

Humbolt has a 6’6 335 pound center who’s a sophomore & also plays football has offers from Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi state, Marshall & several other schools. The guards are OK but sometimes make young careless mistakes, one is about 5’8 & 5’’10. The forward is 6’4 junior who can play when he is focus & other wing/forward is 6’2 OK player but still developing! Humboldt has no seniors & their record shows twelve (12) loses but seven (7) loses were to AA & AAA teams, three (3) losses to Middleton (#1 team) & two (2) loses to Trento who they beat twice. Nobody expected this team to make it this far but them, I thought next year they would be better since they are so young but coaches have done a great job!

Hampton this year, IMO, has more talent than the team last year that was 15 seconds away from beating ER and cruising to a state championship. 

They also have more egos to go around though, so I suppose we'll see.

I was referring to the one that played after the their main big guy went down with injury. I believe he is #34? this year. Watched some of Oneida game and was physical on boards.

Does Humboldt or Hampton have anyone that has offers to play post high school?

[Dawgfan88]

Quite likely Cadon Buckles for Hampton, he's a Mr. Basketball finalist this year. Great player, better student, excellent young man.

Hampton came out hot, which is kinda their thing. Teams generally take 8-12 minutes to adjust to their defensive pressure, if they do at all. I expect the scoring to slow down some now.
