Greenfield - South Fulton

[ifiruledtheworld]

Greenfield won 82-69 tonight. Greenfield jumped up big early, but South Fulton clawed their way back into it, with Brandon Shane out with an ankle injury. He did not play very much in the first half.

 

Clint Blackburn was on fire tonight. Couldn't verify this, but I was told that he scored 41 points. Brandon played well before the ankle injury and he did come back in the second half. He looked to be a little tender, but played pretty well considering.

 

I don't understand South Fulton's approach. They play this helter skelter defense and pile up a huge number of fouls. By my count, they had six players to foul out tonight. Wilson, Alexander, Greer, Napier, Peat, and Waggoner all fouled out if I'm not mistaken. Alexander got a technical as he fouled out as well. I've seen South Fulton play five times this year and in each game they have gotten into serious foul trouble very early in the game.

Greenfield played really well, Brandon Shane twisted his ankle on a layup and had to sit out much of the first half with an ankle injury. But Clint Blackburn stepped up big time and carried us on his back. I think he must have made 20 free throws and 40 points. Clint was really focused on this game, you could tell by his play. Great basketball atmosphere, there was alot of energy by both teams and both cheering sections. South Fulton played very physical like they always do and kept fighting back, the game was closer than the score indicated. Good luck to both teams in the region next week.

 

Congratulations to Coach Willie Trevathan on being named 15A Boys Coach of the Year. Coach T, you've done a great job with the boys and girls team this year. We're behind you all the way and looking to bring that gold ball home this year.

The reason South Fulton gets into early foul trouble is they don't play that consistent of a team defense They will show brief shades of great defensive play that looked similar to some of the Red Devil teams of three and four years ago.. But consistency has been a big issue in Big Red Country this season when it comes to defense.. That's why over 50 free throws were attempted by Greenfiled in the championship game this past weekend.. Combined both teams shot over 90 free throws in the game South Fulton must have a better effort on the defensive end against Peabody in the regionals or they could be in for a long night.

Greenfieldfan....One step at a time and good things will come...Middle College is the next step.

So you went to a basketball game and a free throw shooting contest broke out? It happens.

[storm]

Greenfield will beat Middle College as bad as they want. 50 points-no les than 35

[sportsradiotn]

It will be a track meet if the Yellowjackets want it to be. Shane and Clint Blackburn might score 50 each. Middle College plays no defense whatsoever!

When Brandon Shane went down with the ankle injury, South Fulton looked at that as a wake-up call thus went on a run to trail by only 4, 33-29 at halftime but i got to give to Blackburn for stepping up in Brandon Shane's place puttin up 40 points.

I normally just read the post on here, and your opinion about bad attitudes is just that, an opinion. Also, I know that anybody that knows anything about basketball knows that South Fulton has talent, and that we dont' play a certain style to make up for talent. But to say that 22 had a cheap shot on Brandon Shane is completly ridiculous. Thank what you want, but never was it a plan to hurt anybody out there and no cheap shots were thrown.

South Fulton definitely has talent in their starters as well as talent coming off the bench. There is no way 22 would intentionally hurt Shane. That is an unintelligent thought.

 

dynasty03- How about some big 3's Saturday night?
