This Warren team isn't built for comebacks so if the warriors are wanting a chance to win this they'll have to make it a close contest heading into the 4th.

Warren will need to slow the tempo down and make it a defensive contest where they can use their strength to make sure Waverly doesn't force the BBB to play catchup ... Warren doesn't have THAT kind of offense ... Waverly will try to take advantage of their TEAM speed/quickness , get into a transition game that allows them to spread the floor/find Trey Robertson... the open floor for TR is where he is at his best ... where he can make decisions with the ball - shoot it, penetrate to the rim , penetrate and dish ... Warren can't let Waverly dictate the flow of the game or it will be a long afternoon ... Waverly has played a nonconference schedule vs teams that NO ONE in SEO would beat - Newark/Upper Arlington/ Colonel Crawford ... while Warren played an equally tough schedule only the teams they played were conference games so they played Dover, New Philadelphia TWICE ... Warren could gauge their own improvement on the court as they beat New Philly at Warren in round 2 of that matchup, played a Parkersburg South team to a 4 point loss ... again these are teams no one in SEO beats ... bottom line they are both game tested, they have handled/seen what the other has both offensively and defensively during the season ... in the one an done season it's easy to sit back, pull out the Ouija Board and come up with a prediction ... most times because of the nature of the beast - the post season - you just have to let them play the game ... the only sure fire prediction that can be made is that the team that executes the game plan the best for 32 minutes will be the winner ... it should be a great game ... my #1 vs my #8 = great game worth the price of admission ...

I assume that the 2-7 seeds would likely go away from Waverly, leaving Warren to either choose a home game or to face one or the 2-7 seeds in a sectional final, making their road to the districts even more difficult

This matchup still could have happened that way and people would still be complaining
