He is very good. 1st or 2nd team I am sure. With that being said he commits turnovers and makes mistakes. I am sure that no one is ready to compare him to the last great point guard from SW Ohio,I also heard that Cupps is leaving. Will be interesting to see how this affects cville next year. Obviously a huge loss if it is true
Do you think the Elks were better of without Njie? Did him leaving make them a better team? From what I saw in tournament play they played with pace and shoot the ball super well. will that be their recipe going forward?
I heard a rumor and do not believe it myself but there was a bit of a chirp that Cupps was transferring to a Indiana prep school next year. Hope it is not true and hopefully some Elks fans can put an end to that rumor right now.....
It is tough to repeat when you are a public school that does not recruit..... as I am sure Moe is scouting the tri-state area to beef up the team.
Hey BabeCupps, did you attend Centerville HS?Congratulations!
Not so sure about heavily favored...target on their back now plus it very difficult to repeatSTATE CHAMPS - Congrats to the Elks! They will be heavily favored to win again in 2022
It’s really hard to repeat in D1. Especially, when you so many big schools that can reload every year. I get the enthusiasm coming right after a state championship and I know this poster is a new member and most likely a HS student, but I wouldn’t be surprised if things change next year. Especially, with no shot clock and the ability to slow a game down and minimize possessions.

The thing is that they are one of the teams that are capable of excelling in a slowed down low possession game in the event that someone like Moeller re-stacks their team with transfers. They showed that on this run with mostly sophomores and juniors. This group is pretty Moeller like in regards to being able to be methodical like Kremer prefers to do at Moe, but as Moeller showed this year that can be a double edged sword that can bite you as fewer possessions reduces the margin of error for the better team.
I don't think there's much debate that they'll be a proverbial favorite and will probably walk to another district title next year (and probably also the year after). Coming out of the SW region they're in one of the regional brackets where even if you are very good you'll have to win four very tough games in a row to win it all, which is easier said than done.
Vamps.....zero chance of that happening. Would be the opposite of everything Cupps teaches about team, core values, etc.
Elks would have been better with Kebba Njie as he would have taken Tre Johnson's minutes. Kebba is taller, a scoring threat, and more mobile than Tre. I have also heard the rumor to put Gabe in a prep school to help with college recruiting. With the Elks winning state, it would be the perfect time to make that move and go out on top before his Junior year. I also expect Coach Cupps to go to the college ranks after his son graduates.
