This should be a great game. LCC is a very deep team and subs a lot. They have a number of bigger kids that work hard on the boards and inside altogether, and their point guard #14 is very, very good, as well. A very solid, well-coached, fundamental team all around. Orrville is very athletic with two big-time players and a supporting cast that has stepped up all tournament long.

This should be a battle. I have a feeling that LCC's team approach on Wasson underneath and #14 on Bolyard could cause some mismatches, so Orrville's supporting cast will have to step up once again, but they can do it.

Good luck, Orrville!

LCC's schedule/results. Haven't lost since December 29th (to Liberty-Benton)

http://lcchs.edu/athletics.php?rid=87

They're really good...but we've taken down 2 parochials so far...what's one more?

They beat Lima Senior, who beat Mansfield Sr. in the tourney...and beat Liberty-Benton also.

In their 22 wins, their average winning margin is 17 points.

From the schedule alone, I'd have to think that LCC is the favorite. But from people I spoke to yesterday, many seemed to think Orrville was the better team.

Should be a good one!

Orrville can play both the inside and the outside game, and can play either a fast paced or slow tempo game. They are tough to gameplan for.

That's LCC's MO as well. They traditionally play a slow game, but this year they've pushed the pace when the opportunity presents itslef.

If I were an oddsmaker, I'd set the line at Orrville -4. However, don't be fooled with how LCC played last game. If I'm not mistaken, that was the first time they had a 20-point scorer all season, as they are the definition of a balanced team. Kirkman, Krieg, O'Connor, Stolly, and Taflinger had all had their games where they carried the offense.
Furthermore, LCC didn't make a single 3 last game, and if you watched any of their previous games, that is certainly an abnormality.

Would love to see Jake have a monster game. Win or lose...6 seniors will play their last game in a Red Rider uniform.

I do believe we're wearing Red for just the 2nd time all tourney. How appropriate.

Anyone else see Jake's quote in the JJHuddle article...."we want to RE-START the tradition." So true.

I like the fact that Jake "gets it" How refreshing it has been this year to see the team play as a team. One more game for all the marbles!

I spent most of the day there. I started at 9:45 with a bloody mary and had my first Bud Light immediately after that. Stayed until 2:00 and then went over to the game. Ran back to the VC after the game and then left around 7 to get home and watch the games on TV.

I was the tall guy wearing the Ready shirt. I'm 6'8" so I tend to stick out in a crowd.

That's now what we wore in 1992. Had to be at least from the late 80's. We're talking 20+ yr old jerseys.

I think the measure is 1" shorter shorts for each year they are old....that would put them in the 80's for sure!
