rider28, I actually wondered that myself. I think Perez has the best 3pt shot on the team, he needs to get stronger and more physical and become a better defender. He handles the ball fairly well he just needs a little as Series would say some motivational and inspirational coaching injected into his game.

If it's true, that's his prerogative, it doesn't hurt me and I'll live!

You can move in his house, write him a letter, email, text, telephone and send homing pigeons...SO WHAT!
Every time you open your mouth you prove how childish and immature you are, and you're too childish and immature to even realize it!

Yeah I'm sure they thought we would see a drop in the guard play with Joey, Jake, and Andre all graduating last year and lose a few more games....but we had all this size that I thought would win us a lot of games because having this much height on a high school team is rare, especially at a school our size. But I don't think they were going into the season thinking they would be under .500.

Just goes to show how spoiled we were last season with those 3 seniors.

Realistically, Chippewa is a very winnable game, and so is the 2nd round game....after that I think it would be a great way to end the season. This team is very capable of winning the district, but they are just so up and down and you never know what team is going to show up. Should make the district fun to watch.

Hillsdale and Nothwestern.....McKean is an amazing basketball player! I still think we win a rematch with either of them.

Favoritism? Could it be?

Look at it from this perspective: Graber starts, gets plenty of playing time, he's not that strong defensively or offensively, nor is he a big rebounder, he didn't play much last year or in the two years prior to that, yet...he starts, gets plenty of playing time. What does that look like to you?

Looks like a lack of guards, not favorites, but scrappers that have caught the eye of the coaches , while others have caught the eye of fans. I would guess I saw more favorites playing in previous seasons before the present coach.

If you double him, he's got teammates that can shoot too. They really can't play an inside game as they don't have size, but if they draw the defense out to the perimeter with their shooting, they'll attack the basket, and our jump-happy, "I'll block your shot" bigs will foul them...and they hurt them at the free throw line. It'll be another close game.

I would not be surprised to see Triway ( as much as I hate to say it ) beat Northwestern.

Absolutely....McKean knows how to work the officials too. He initiates contact almost 95% of the time. Makes it hard to defend him and be aggressive.

Name the scrappers besides Brenner and Turner.

Name the favorites played by the previous coach.

That makes him a good guard!

Good defense isn't running alongside the trying to casually bump him and deflect his direction, you'll get called for a foul which is what is happening. You have to know how to slow his progression up the floor and force him to do with the ball what he does not want to do! i.e., make bad decisions

And that is what we are lacking lol.

Just think how we would do if McKean was our starting PG...man on man that would be lethal. I think he is an even better shooter than Jake was imo...
