Hopefully we will get a Rogers-Sandusky rematch in the District final. Sad to hear about Wyatt.

EIB, I agree. Here is what I don't understand about Rogers: Jackson and Nelson are tremendous threats inside, and Nelson alone is one of the most athletic bigs I've seen in a long time. But they are on the floor with three guys who can all create their own opportunities (Neal,Wyatt, Coleman)and...

You can say that again. I saw both teams play a few games this year and I would have said that Stritch's second 5 would have had an even game against OH starters. Crazy.

I agree with your assessment. Good kids at Rogers, they needed continuity over there and haven't had it. When you add in transfers, it's not a tidy situation. With that said, they looked light years better tonight than they did the first go round with Start. As much physical talent as I have...

Stopped over to Rogers to see them face Anthony Wayne this afternoon. Rogers overwhelmed them (and the 2-3 zone defense) easily. Final margin was 16 I think, but could have been 30+ if the Rogers coaches were so inclined. I was glad to see them getting the bench some minutes though, that is...

Saw Stritch got it done last night against TC 60-50, I'll be looking for the replay on BCSN. Wandered over to OHHS last night as a consolation(couldn't make it all the way to Lima to catch that game). Got a real barnburner over in Ottawa Hills. Emmanuel won 56-55 in triple OT. There were more...

Was hoping to make it down to the game, but couldn't make it. The lack of a coherent system was pretty evident when I saw them over at Start, and the clock is running as the season rolls on. Hopefully the coach can make some progress. They will lose some size after this year, but...

Rogers 44 Start 33 Game did not disappoint. Was 28-24 Start after 3, but Rogers poured it on late. Rogers has as much athleticism as anyone they will face this year. But if they are going to take advantage of that athleticism, there will need to be a lot of development over the course of the...

I'm planning on going, should be a slobberknocker.

Good sign for Clay to keep it close. I was at the Stritch/SFS game Weds night and was not overly impressed with SFS, though the coaching on both sides I thought was good.

I'm an old guy, I admit that much. But it seemed like years ago, when a guy put up 20 or 30 points, it mattered what he shot from the floor. For example, Karl Malone was above 50% FG percentage for his entire career. Whether it is NBA, College, or High School, it is like people are celebrating...
