Portland vs. Harpeth 11/16

[oldschool74]

The scoreboard has the score as 77-0 Harpeth. I know that can't be the correct score. Does anyone know the real score or Portland's score against Dekalb tonight?

Portland's game against Dekalb last night was not a close one. A four point game going into the helf but Dekalb blew it open in the second half and won by 30 or so. There were tons of fouls called in this game and Portland, having limited experience, struggled when the got in foul trouble.

hey aj who do you think will come out of the shadows this year for portland. someone we havent heard about what about frye did he do well in the dekalb game or was he playing no defense as usual what are your predictions for them this year

[aj1133]

I think Ryan Frye will do well. In the two games I have watched this year he was very productive offensively which I think everyone knew he was capable of but I have been a littlesurprised at how well he has played defensively. He had 32 against HArpeth and 19 against Dekalb, Portland just lacks a legitimate inside presence. Their guard play is probably above average (Gregory shoots well and Thompson can handle the ball) but there is no true post player to speak of which means they will not score much in the paint and they will really have to focus on boxing out and positioning to rebound.

i think you could look for a 5 foot 9 inch juniore named hurt to contibute on the defensive side and maybe put some buckets on the board as well. he is recovering from an injury so only time will tell

as far as inside prescence the panthers will have to look at unexperienced big boy james clemmons to help out on the boards and as far as defense gos look for him to be on the top of the list for fouls

Junior matt hyten should contribute with his improved shooting skills but when your talking about points definately look for frye and gregory to be at the top of the charts

taking a shot at frye's defense?? you need to get your facts straight.. he shut down david lipscomb's main player and mcminn central's best player... he wouldn't have any problem at all guarding you... by the way, he is also a great offense player too much for you to handle.

It will have to be more of that for Frye this year because he will have to match up with every team's best player, guard or post, because athletically he is the only one that gives Portland a chance. Just with most players, this year specifically, when the ball is falling for him his defense and rebounding is also exceptional, but when he's not hitting shots other parts of his game slip a little. In order for Portland to win any games this year he will have to score, but when he is not knocking down shots, it will be of equal importance to the team that he continues to play hard on D, crash the boards, and not get lazy just to give the Panthers a chance.
