Elida is 4-0
Lima Senior is 4-2

Thoughts?

We blew a 24 point lead to Lima Sr. Big conference loss for us.

They have a 6'4'' kid named Anton Hutchins who is a monster. He's being recruited by the likes of Wisconsin and Penn st., though I don't think he'll end up there..

You never know though with Lima Sr, they sent Travis Walton to MSU...

Yeah I saw Sandusky was up 20 at halftime and was surprised they lost that game..... I've been to the last two Elida/Senior High game and we've lost them both. Elida isn't very big, but if they can crash the boards and make a few 3's early I think they can make it a game.

Yeah it hurt. We're very talented, but young. Our inexperience really killed us once Lima Sr made the push to get back into the game.

We were up 81-77 with 3 minutes left and lost 84-81 lol..

Didn't help that we lost that kind of game and had to play Mansfield Sr the very next night.. Needless to say, we're on a 2 game losing streak haha..

Did you attend Lima Sr?
Hopefully our squad can bounce back tonight in the opener of the Holiday tournament.

No I went to Elida ... I got sick today/last night and was unable to attend the game but listening to it on radio... Halftime the score is tied at 30

44-41 Lima Senior after 3

WOW..... Reggie McAdams his a 3/4's court shot to send the game into Overtime tied at 58

Lima Senior hits a buzzer beater layup as time expires in OT 69-67

We need LOTS more detail from those who say this great balll game. Kind of surprised Elida played them that tough.

Elida turned the ball over WAY too many times late in the game, 1st tie game w/ 48 seconds left and then 2nd down 2pts w/ 12 seconds left. Elida was 26-31 from the free throw line and Lima Senior was 17-27 from the free throw line

Elida gets clipped again--Coldwater 54 Elida 49 McAdams just unbelievable,the key----make him put it on the floor,don't let him set up

So did McAdams get a lot of "catch and shoot" opportunities? Agreed, he doesn't handle the ball very well or take the ball to the basket all that well. Not all that hard to defend, but most teams don't get it done.

Yes,he's got a knack for getting lost in the post and then popping out to his favorite spots.Big body,great mechanics = consistent shooter.This could be a big W for Coldwater when seeds are drawn for tournament.I look for Elida to make a good run.Are they the favorite to win the WBL or does that nod go to Defiance/OG ?

Is Elida good enough with their other personnel to hurt you if you focus more on Reggie McAdams? From what I've seen, I don't think so. McAdams is quite limited in terms of creating scoring opportunities. He's a fine shooter when he gets the chance, but I'm not sure why more teams don't prevent him shooting directly off the pass. Will be interesting to see what other teams try to do in the next two months.
