Fairland vs South Point 1/9/09

[spielberg]

The dragons did enough to stay in the game hatfield was silent untill the 4th an got some shots to fall, I really don't understand why prater an the taylors aren't in the game together no one will be able to stop them the dominate in the post an on the glass I think if they played together I don't see too many teams keepin it close great game to kratz I'd just like to see you get the ball up the court on the press put in the next meeting If they play again I'm not sure I take the pointers

I agree that SP is losing games because they are setting the big guys. Convo Cody T. played 2 quarters and Greg played 1. Coal Grove each played 1 quarter. Fairland Greg T. played 2 minutes in the varsity game after scoring 21 in the JV game. SP gives up to many rebounds not to use the big guys. Size does matter in basketball and going small every game and letting teams back in the game is not working.

big guys are not sp's problem.......they are trying to let fletcher be the PG, it will never work, kratz is the only one who has any business dribbling up the court, sp had like 5-8 turnovers that wouldn't have happened if kratz was dribbling

[bucking red]

Sp has a good team but FHS was just to quick. If you go big against the dragons you better be able to run the floor all night long. If Kratz brought the ball up all the time I think his shot would suffer. I think your coach is just trying to save his legs. IMO

I don't see it that way. Kratz could have taken the ball down the court if he wouldn't have gone to the side line and given the defense another "player" ie the sideline every single time. You can not break a press dribbling to the sideline. How many times did Kratz turn the ball over or try to go backwards? All the guards had trouble with Fairland's press don't blame it all on Fletcher.

All the guards did have trouble breaking the press single handily...when the pointers would have three people back to help take the pressure off of Kratz and Fletcher they would have no problem getting the ball down the floor...I was confused to see how they only did this half of the time and the other half it was like one guard (Kratz, Fletcher, Winkler, Button) was trying to dribble through or around at least 3 people...they cannot break a press with one person, it will just lead to turnovers...im sure the pointers will correct this soon...and there were bad calls too though...i recall once hatfield literally tripping kratzenberg and the refs calling a walk and another player completely hugging fletcher but no call, and it lead to a turnover...but either way it was a fun game to watch and Kratz and Fletcher are great players

dont go wining about the refs i cant stand ppl wining about the refs, i seen plenty of calls down low where godby n berry were fouled pretty hard n they never got called.
even if they did call a foul on hatfield it wouldnt have made a difference, they way he played in the 4th quarter they werent going to lose.
id hate to see what he could do to teams if he would play all 4 quarters like that.

In all fairness, every game has its share of bad calls both ways. Just ask the fans.

[primetime20]

Very true...every game has their share of bad calls...and in no way am i blaming the game on the refs, im just talking about two things in particular that i saw

[Theguyfromthepoint07]

No need to point fingers the pointers have had a problem with a true point gaurd mayo was the only exception last season kratZ can do the job he just needs other help he can't do it all game an I'm for sure that I'd play ethan ,Cody, an greg together there all good in the post they all rebound well an the pointers need that an try can put teams away early with that they also play hard but I'm not the coach so all I can do is talk on here good luck to the pointers the rest of the season keep playin hard

[jl724]

well sp didnt do what the shouldve, there coach must not be too bright.. maybe you should give him some tips
and possibly tell the to play some defense lol.
especially on hatfield cuz once he gets hot you cant stop him.
good job dragons
get rv and peake this week.
